genetic trend for production traits were estimated in iranian holstein cattle using the first lactation data recorded by cattle breeding and dairy product improvement center of the state from 1991 to 2006. effect of some factors on genetic trend was investigated using data from 18 large herds. (co) variance components and genetic parameters were estimated, using five trait animal model and em-a...

Chronic nutrient overload accelerates the onset of several aging-related diseases reducing life expectancy. Although the mechanisms by which overnutrition affects metabolic processes in many tissues are known, its role on BAT physiology is still unclear. Herein, we investigated the mitochondrial responses in BAT of female mice exposed to high fat diet (HFD) at different steps of life. Although ...

IT IS NO SECRET THAT OBESITY and obesity-related metabolic disorders are rising unabated in the United States (5, 6), and this epidemic has not eluded children. From 1999 –2000 to 2003–2004, the prevalence of overweight children/adolescents increased from 13.8 to 16.0% for males and 14.0 to 18.2% for females (13). Of the three major actual causes of death (tobacco , poor diet, and physical inac...

Two experiments were conducted in order to determine the effect of dietary fatty acid profile on deposition of body fat, carcass fat, and separable fat depots. Diets with four types of fat (tallow, olive, sunflower, and linseed oils) at an inclusion level of 10% were administered to female broiler chickens. In Experiment 1, total body fat, carcass fat (total body fat minus abdominal fat), and a...

in this study, the effect of accelerated ripening with encapsulated protease and lipase on physiochemical properties such as fat and moisture, texture and microstructure of brined cheese was investigated. addition of lipase increases hardness by reducing fat globules diameter and increasing casein matrix junction. it also decreases brittleness by fat degradation which is responsible for plastic...
