In 1938 Schantz, Elvehjem, and Hart (1) reported that rats, calves, and pigs which received liquid skim milk as their sole diet excreted a considerable amount of galactose in the urine. No such excretion occurred when whole milk was fed. In studies with the rat it was found that the addition of 3 to 4 per cent of fat to the skim milk completely prevented the urinary loss of galactose, and furth...

background: there is no convenient cheap pragmatic experimental model for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld)/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (nash). we aimed to create a pragmatic model of nafld/nash. methods: sprague-dawley rats were fed a high-fat, high sugar homemade diet ad libitum for seven weeks. the high-fat, high sugar diet included 59% of energy derived from fat, 30% from carbohydra...

the aim of the study was to investigate the preventive effects of dietary garcinia cambogia extract onlipid metabolism and serum activities of alanine aminotransferase (alt), aspartate aminotransferase (ast)and gamma-glutamyle transferase (ggt) in rats fed high-lipid diet. thirty female, one-year-old sprague-dawley rats were used and separated into three equal groups. group 1 (control group) wa...

Male rats were treated of with a diet supplemented daily by the synthetic food colour erythrosine (0.08 and 0.4 g/kg diet) for 30 days. Changes in mutagenic activities, as an index for evaluating of possible toxic effects, were monitored by measuring chromosomal aberrations of rat bone marrow, nucleic acids and total protein concentrations of rat liver and brain. The present study found that er...

The purpose of the experiments to be described in this paper was to investigate whether the rat can synthesize the glyoxaline ring of histidine, if certain possible precursors are provided in the diet. It was first shown by Rose & Cox (1924) that a diet in which prottin was supplied in the form of a casein digest freed of histidine by silver precipitation could not support growth in young rats....

I. Vitamin B,, activity in the milk of rats on various diets was measured by microbiological assay at intervals throughout lactation. The concentration of sodium and calcium in the milk was also determined. 2. At all stages of lactation the milk of rats fed on commercial rat cake contained much more vitamin Bla activity than that of rats receiving a semi-synthetic diet containing at least as mu...

objective: melanocortin-4 receptor (mc4r) and agouti-related peptide (agrp) are involved in energy homeostasis in the rat. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of mc4r and agrp mrnas in arcuate nucleus (arc) during long term malnutrition of female ovariectomized rats. materials and methods: ten female ovariectomized rats were divided into two equal groups (n=6) of normal ...
