Acrylamide (AA)-induced toxicity has been associated with accumulation of excessive reactive oxygen species. The present study was therefore undertaken to investigate the protective effect of blackberry digests produced after (BBD) in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) digestion against AA-induced oxidative damage. The results indicated that the BBD (0.5 mg/mL) pretreatment significantly suppressed AA...

The effects of dilute H2SO4 concentration, forage:sulfuric acid ratio, digestion time, and digestion temperature were evaluated to determine effects on ethanol yield of Triarrhena sacchariflora (Maxim.) Nakai. Twenty single factor experiments were conducted to evaluate H2SO4 concentration (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5%, w/w), forage:sulfuric acid ratio (1:6, 1:8, 1:10, 1:12, and 1:14, g/ml), dig...

the effect of some ecological factors on the survival of trichophyton violaceum t.mentagrophytes and m. gypseum was studied. three types of sterile soil, weakly alkaline (ph =7.9).neutral (ph=7.1) and acid (ph =5.6), and two conditions of wet and dry environments at different temperatures (-8, +8, + 1s, +3o, i~445 were examined. after 4, 10,15,30,60, and 90 days the survival of these fungi were...

This study aims to evaluate the phenolic contents, chemical composition, mineral amount as well antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts from dried black cumin (Nigella sativa L; family: Ranunculaceae) seed powder. We also performed an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion process understand effect on components and their after digestion. Black showed high amounts total flavonoid such dihydrox...

OBJECTIVE To determine the metal contents of date palm (Pheonix dactylifera) samples in dry season from Denizli-Turkey for investigation of heavy metal-polluted traffic. METHOD The levels of iron, copper, zinc, lead, cadmium, nickel, chromium, and manganese ions in the leaves of thirty five date palm (Pheonix dactylifera) samples collected from various levels of traffic in the streets of Deni...

Ten Holstein steers (465 +/- 6 kg) with cannulas in the rumen and proximal duodenum were used in a crossover design experiment to evaluate the influence of air-dry vs fresh steam-flaked corn on characteristics of ruminal and total tract digestion. The basal diet contained 77% steam-flaked corn (DM basis). Air-dry steam-flaked corn (SFC-AD) was obtained from a single batch that had been allowed ...

I. In the wild, red grouse live largely on heather, a high-fibre (25 :(,), low-protein (7 %) food. Digestibility trials were carried out under semi-natural conditions, with magnesium as a digestibility marker. T w o trials w-ere done, one in autumn and one in spring. 2. Digestibility of the dry matter varied from 21 to 30 ”/o and metabolizable energy from 1.1 to 1.6 kcal/g. Thcse variations wer...

Starch, supplied in Midwest diets primarily from high-moisture and dry corn grain and whole-plant corn silage, is an important source of energy for dairy cattle. However, the digestibility of corn starch can be highly variable. Various factors, particle size (fine vs. coarse grind), grain processing (steam flaked vs. dry rolled), storage method (dry vs. high-moisture corn), moisture content of ...

I . Lambs fitted with cannulas in the abomasum, terminal ileum and caecum were used to study the digestion of starch and dry matter when rations with high starch content were given. Polyethylene glycol was used as an indigestible reference substance. 2. In Expt I reduction in level of feeding from an estimated ad lib. intake to 70% of this level reduced the amount of dietary starch escaping fer...

In the last twenty years, elaborate models have been developed to formulate diets with greater accuracy in meeting the protein and amino acid requirements of lactating dairy cattle. Models for feeding protein to dairy cattle in the USA evolved from basic crude protein (NRC, 1978) to more complex systems based on rumen undegraded protein (RUP) and intestinal digestion of RUP (NRC, 2001). The NRC...
