BACKGROUND To compare the effects of low versus recommended levels of dairy intake on weight maintenance and body composition subsequent to weight loss. DESIGN AND METHODS Two site (University of Kansas-KU; University of Tennessee-UT), 9 month, randomized trial. Weight loss was baseline to 3 months, weight maintenance was 4 to 9 months. Participants were maintained randomly assigned to low da...

Acute and subchronic toxicities of Chantaleela recipe were studied in both male and female rats. Oral administration of the extract at a single dose of 5,000 mg/kg body weight (5 females, 5 males) did not produce signs of toxicity, behavioral changes, mortality or differences on gross appearance of internal organs. The subchronic toxicity was determined by oral feeding the test substance at the...

heritability, environmentaland genetic correlations between body weight at hatch (bw0), eight (bw8) and twelve (bw12) weeksof age, body weight at sexual maturity (bwm), age at sexual maturity (afe),the weight of the first egg laid by the hen (ewm), the mean egg weight from 28 to 32 wks (ew28-32) and egg numbers (ens) were estimated by the restricted maximum likelihood method under an animal mod...

abstract this investigation was conducted to replace artificial food with gammarus and study this effect on survival and growth parameters of jewel in case of completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 3 replicates in each treatments. 270 jewel fishes with initial mean weight of 1.22±0.72 were reared in 9 aquariums (30 fishes in each aquarium) with volume of 100 liter water. experimenta...

introduction: musculoskeletal growth is variable during adolescent period and reaches its maximum by 18 years, whereas hemopoietic parameters reach adult values by 15 years. after adolescence period, the blood parameters may vary with nutrition and built of the individual. the purpose of this study was to find out any correlation between anthropometric and hematological parameters after the ado...

BACKGROUND The Heavy Horse Pull is a competition where teams of two horses pull an increasingly heavy sled for a short distance. Similar to human wrestlers, some horses may undergo rapid weight change in order to enter a lower weight category. The objectives were to study the physiological effects of this practice as well as of the pulling competition in draft horses. RESULTS Fifty horses wer...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of reducing metabolizable protein with rumen-protected lysine and methionine in diet during the last 5 weeks of gestation on performance and blood parameters of afshari ewes and lambs. twenty five mature (once lambing) ewes in a unbalanced complete randomized design fed with diets containing low metabolizable protein but containing rumen-prote...
