The Effect of using a Combination Phytase and Synbiotic in Phosphorus Deficient Diet on the Performance Blood Parameters Broiler Chickens

A marginally lipotrope-deficient diet, high in fat, enhances hepatocarcinogenesis by aflatoxin B, , diethyland dibutyl-ni trosamine, or N-2-fluorenylacetamide and colon carcinogene sis by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine in rats, when compared to a nutritionally complete diet that differs in several components from the deficient diet. Supplementation of the deficient diet with lipotropes and amino acids d...

The aim of the current study was to determine whether oxidized cholesterol in the diet accelerates atherosclerosis in low density lipoprotein receptor- (LDLR) and apolipoprotein E- (apo E) deficient mice. Mice were fed either a control diet or a diet containing oxidized cholesterol. For LDLR-deficient mice, the control diet consisted of regular mouse chow to which 1.0% cholesterol was added. Th...

Methionine and Choline Deficient Diet-induced Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis in Rats: Role of MelatoninMohamed M. Amin,Rania F. Ahmed,Dalia O. Saleh

We hypothesized that the requirements of essential nutrients are dependent upon catabolic abilities. Mice lacking L-tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) are available. The body concentration of L-tryptophan (L-Trp) has been reported to be higher in TDO-deficient mice than in wild-type (WT) mice. We examined the requirement of an appropriate L-Trp level for TDO-deficient mice using several biomarker...

Rats avoid a diet that is deficient in one or more essential amino acids (EAAs). This phenomenon is thought to involve the development of a “learned aversion” for the sensory properties or spatial placement associated with the deficient diet. The dietary self-selection technique has been widely used to show this avoidance of the deficient diet. Because avoidance does not necessarily imply taste...

I . A semi-synthetic vitamin B,,-deficient diet, based on soya flour, is described. When supplemented with cydnocobalamin the diet appeared to be adequate for growth and reproduction in the rat. 2. Compared with their litter-mates on the supplemented diet, rats fed on the deficient diet from weaning showed reduced levels of vitamin Biz activity in the plasma and tissues, but their growth rates ...

Objective(s):Resveratrol (RES) is a polyphenol compound that has been shown a promising cardioprotective effect. However, some reports have yielded conflicting findings. Herein, we investigated the anti-atherosclerotic effects of RES in apolipoprotein E (apo E)-deficient mice on a high cholesterol diet. Materials and Methods: Firstly, atherosclerosis was induced by feeding a high cholesterol di...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of ginger extract on the expression of NFkappaB and TNF-alpha in liver cancer-induced rats. METHODS Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups based on diet: i) control (given normal rat chow), ii) olive oil, iii) ginger extract (100mg/kg body weight), iv) choline-deficient diet + 0.1% ethionine to induce liver cancer and v) choline-deficient diet + ...
