Different kinds of oxidants (free radicals) produced during aerobic metabolisms of fat, protein, carbohydrates and xenobiotics, not only create oxidative stress and damage to macromolecules but are implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurological, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, carcinogenic and radiation related disorders, requiring their neutralization, amelioration or immunity boost u...

Consumption of different types of oil may have different effects on cardiovascular risk. The exact role of maize oil, cod liver oil, soya oil and extra virgin olive oil on endothelial function, oxidative stress and inflammation is unknown. We evaluated the effect of acute consumption of these types of oil on endothelial function, oxidative stress and inflammation in healthy adults. Thirty-seven...

Guanidinated proteins when fed to non-ruminants provide values for both endogenous amino acid losses and amino acid digestibilities, provided that the homoarginine residues in the treated protein are randomly distributed. Earlier studies have established that guanidination has only minor effects on the structure of the protein and, in particular, on its susceptibility to proteolysis. Furthermor...

Due to ever-increasing global diffusion and related socio-economic implications, the detectionof genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is very important. In this study, we design a plasmidcontaining two genes in mutated form as construct-specific (cp4 epsps) and event-specific(pd35S). It is applied for quantitative-competitor (QC) PCR as a simple and reliable method forthe detection of GM food....

Purpose: creation of a new high-yield, mid-ripening, technological, with high protein content soybean variety, responsive to irrigation and suitable for cultivation in crops without irrigation. Materials methods. A collection soybeans, numbering 2 thousand varieties various ecological geographical origin, including the selection Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution VNIIOZ, created 198...

The effects of inclusion in the diet of different sources of soya bean meal (SBM) on growth performance, total tract apparent digestibility (TTAD) and apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of major dietary components and mucosal ileum morphology were studied in Iberian pigs weaned at 30 days of age. From 30 to 51 days of age (phase I), there was a control diet based on regular soya bean meal (R-SB...
