Previous research with an animal model of retinoid-induced hypertriglyceridemia, rats fed a 13-cis retinoic acid-containing diet in which casein was the dietary protein, has demonstrated that replacement of dietary casein with soy protein isolate can reduce the severity of this condition. A depressant action of soy protein vs. that of casein on serum triglyceride concentration has also been dem...

introduction using vegetable oils and animal fats in poultry diets have beneficial effects for poultry production. they often have higher biological value than expected, increasing dietary metabolizable energy, which usually results in higher growth rates and better feed efficiency. sterol-regulatory element binding proteins (srebps) play a key role in transcriptional regulation of cholesterol ...

Aims: This study was conducted to isolate, identify and screen microorganisms associated with soy iru for the ability to be used as starter in the fermentation of soya bean (Glycine max) to produce soy iru. Study Design: To control the fermentation of soya bean (Glycine max) to produce soya iru using functional starter culture in order to improve the quality of the product. Place and Duration o...

Hill, Stephanie Rene. The Effects of Cottonseed Hulls Added to Diets With and Without Live Yeast or Mannanoligosaccharide in Young Calves (Under the direction of Dr. B. A. Hopkins and Dr. L. W. Whitlow). The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of fiber in the form of cottonseed hulls (CSH) added to the starter and of live yeast (YST) or mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) added to mi...

 Co-feeding of fish larvae with live food and formulated diet has been at the focus of fish nutritionists since last decade. In this study we tried to refine the feeding practices of great beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) larvae using different combinations of newly hatched Artemia urmiana nauplii and trout starter diet. Three replicate groups (250 fish/replicate) of first-feeding Huso huso larvae w...

nowadays, people tend to consume functional foods for the treatment and prevention of diseases. production growth of functional foods obliged scientists to research about production, distribution and preservation conditions of these products. use of probiotic microorganisms in soy-based products may have advantages of both probiotics and soy on the human health. the probiotic soy-based ice-crea...

In adult rats, elongation of cardiac myocytes (CMs) correlates with dilatation (and sometimes dysfunction) of cardiac ventricles. Although sex steroids may constitute one possible factor that affects the dimensions of CMs, studies on their effects in rodents is complicated by the fact that most commercial soy-based diets also contain abundant phytoestrogens. We report that feeding Wistar-Kyoto ...

due to the importance of adult artemia in aquaculture, information regarding the digestive enzyme activities variation with inexpensive diets has great importance in artemia at different life stages. in this study, the effect of different inexpensive diets on digestive enzyme activities, including trypsin, amylse and lipase of artemia urmiana was investigated in different life stages. the exper...
