Selection for oat cultivars with lower lipase activity may be important for other purposes. Lipase may have Oat (Avena sativa L.) is a potentially economically viable source a role in the initiation of oxidative rancidity by some of lipase, an enzyme used in foods, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, which occurs on the surface of oat caryopses (groats). The objectives lipoxygenases that cause off-...

Celiac disease (CD) is a life-long autoimmune condition affecting the small intestine of genetically susceptible individuals. Gluten is one of the offending inducers of the disease, with structurally related molecules found in barley, rye, and oats, where the offending peptides are called avenins. Avoiding toxic prolamins is the only established therapy but most patients have compliance difficu...

BACKGROUND Effective and safe management of oral anticoagulant treatment (OAT) requires a high level of patient knowledge and adherence. The aim of this study was to assess patient knowledge about OAT and factors associated with patient knowledge. METHODS This is a baseline survey of a cluster-randomized controlled trial in 22 general practices with an educational intervention for patients or...

Oat β-glucan was purified from oat bran and its effects on running performance and related biochemical parameters were investigated. Four-week-old male Sparsgue-Dawley rats, fed with/without oat β-glucan (312.5 mg kg(-1) d(-1)) for 7 weeks, were subjected to run on a treadmill system to make them exhausted. All rats were immediately sacrificed after prolonged exercise, and the major metabolic s...

We examined the pharmacological role of the renal organic anion transporter OAT-K1, which localizes predominantly in the brush-border membranes of proximal straight tubules, in the urinary excretion of methotrexate and the possibility of its contribution to "folinic acid rescue." With Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells stably transfected with OAT-K1 cDNA, OAT-K1-mediated methotrexate accumu...

BACKGROUND Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is a serious and potentially fatal complication of oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT). Prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) produce a rapid and effective reversal of OAT effects, but little evidence exists on their efficacy and safety in the management of ICH in patients on OAT. AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of PCCs for the rapid reversal o...

IMPORTANCE Buprenorphine opioid agonist treatment (OAT) has established efficacy for treating opioid dependency among persons seeking addiction treatment. However, effectiveness for out-of-treatment, hospitalized patients is not known. OBJECTIVE To determine whether buprenorphine administration during medical hospitalization and linkage to office-based buprenorphine OAT after discharge increa...

background: the contamination of ecosystem with petroleum and its derivatives is con­sidered as one of the most crucial environmental threat in iran. application of micro­organisms has been demonstrated as an appropriate and more practical alternative to clean-up petroleum hydrocarbons in the contaminated environments. objectives: the objectives of this study were isolating rhizosphere-inhabiti...

An experiment was conducted to determine whether adding oat hulls to weaner pig diets based on extruded rice or unprocessed wheat influenced post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) and protein fermentation in the large intestine. Ninety-six male piglets (5.16 (SEM 0.08) kg) were allocated to (i) extruded rice plus animal proteins (RAP); (ii) RAP with added oat hulls (20 g/kg); (iii) wheat plus animal prot...
