An in sacco mobile bag technique was used to determine the rate and extent of disappearance of unmolassed sugar-beet pulp, soyabean hulls, hay cubes and an oat hull-naked oats mixture (67:33, w/w) in the foregut and total digestive tract of ponies. Ponies were administered naso-gastrically polyester mesh bags containing 350 mg feed, in a Latin square design. Bags were collected at the ileo-caec...

Solutions of 4-hydroxy-TEMPO(TANOL) in water and water-soyabean oil were investigated in the concentration range 0.1 mM-10mM. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and electronic relaxation time Tle measurements were performed at each well resolved hyperfine line. In the TANOL/water-soyabean oil solutions, the effect of the presence of soyabean oil was an increase in the measured relaxation rates ...

In this month’s issue, Sirtori et al. (1999) demonstrate the efficacy of high-protein soya milk v. cows’ milk in lowering serum cholesterol in patients with severe hypercholesterolaemia and either resistance to or intolerance of the most commonly used and potent group of cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins. Dietary soyabean and statins have been previously shown to produce additive effe...

Diets with protein of inferior quality may increase protein breakdown in skeletal muscle but the experimental results are inconsistent. To elucidate the relationship, pigs were fed isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diets based on soyabean-protein isolate or casein for 15 weeks, with four to six animals per group. A higher plasma level of urea (2.5-fold the casein group value, P = 0.01), higher ur...

South-east Asian women have a lower rate of breast cancer compared with their counterparts in western countries and the difference in soyabean consumption has been claimed to be a major contributing factor. Genistein is the most studied phytochemical in the soyabean. An anti-oestrogenic effect is believed to play a crucial part in its chemopreventive mechanism. In the present study, we expresse...

The objective of the present experiment was to examine the effect of substituting different quantities of soyabean protein for casein on renal function and lipid metabolism in rats with chronic renal failure induced by a five-sixths nephrectomy. Experimental animals were subjected to a nephrectomy and fed either casein or soyabean protein (200 or 100 g/kg diet). The diets were isoenergetic with...

Meta-analysis was applied to quantify the effect of replacement of fish meal by soyabean products in diets on fish growth. Measurement of growth in different units among studies required the use of a standardised effect size (Hedges' d). From a total of ninety-nine studies concentrating on fish meal replacement by defatted soyabean meal, 53 % were eliminated due to, among others, absence of a f...

Recent investigations on the effects of phyto-oestrogens on various tissues have revealed that these diverse molecules may improve human health, particularly by protecting against certain chronic diseases. After a brief examination of the food sources, structures, and general cellular actions of the major phyto-oestrogens, current research findings on cardiovascular disease, skeletal tissues, a...

In this study, the main task is to identify best cutting parameters improve machining performance during MQL-turning with various fluids like coconut oil, ground nut sunflower soyabean and blassocut oil. Cutting temperature surface roughness were used as metrics, goal of minimizing these responses. To construct an experimental plan for turning AISI4130 uncoated brazed carbide, full factorial de...
