Previous studies have shown that the nitrogenous metabolism is on a low plane in infantilism of the type of Herter, and have indicated undernutrition as a possible cause of the failure to grow. 1 As causes of the undernutrition, improper digestion or poor absorption were thought of on account of the large quantities of nitrogen in the feces. 2 The analyses reported in the present paper were car...

the oil and protein content of three varieties of water melon seeds namely, chillian black, dixy queen and charlston gray were determined. the soluble proteins were studied and measured by paper chromatography and amino acid analyzer. the results indicated that oil content of the seeds was 43, 53 and 45% and protein content was 27, 23, and 34% respectively. the soluble proteins contained all th...

Sixty Ghezel ewes (age 3.5 years) were used to study the effect of different nitrogenous supplements in flushing ration on reproductive performance. Experimental treatments were divided in five groups: group A: urea; group B: soybean meal (SBM); group C: corn gluten meal (CGM); group D: barley grain and group E: control or basal diet (no flushing). The four flushing rations had nearly the same ...

Pappagianis, D. (University of California, Berkeley), E. W. Putman, and G. S. Kobayashi. Polysaccharide of Coccidioides immitis. J. Bacteriol. 82:714-723. 1961.-Soluble polysaccharide from mycelia or culture filtrates of Coccidioides immitis was found to consist mainly of mannose, but also included small quantities of galactose and another reducing sugar. Isolation of the polysaccharide by etha...

Tuberculosis (TB) serological testing with antigen complexes, although very sensitive, is not always as specific due to reactive serum antibodies in patients with inactive TB or nontuberculous infections. Since the use of recombinant M. tuberculosis proteins may enhance specificity, this study was designed to evaluate a novel 34 kDa tuberculosis complex-specific protein as a component of an ant...

THE saline extract obtained in the preparation of globulins and albumins from pulses contains a non-protein nitrogenous fraction, which is dialysable, not coagulated by heat and not precipitated by saturation with salts or even by reagents such as trichloroacetic acid. Work on foodstuffs relates chiefly to the predominant protein characterising the seed and in the case of pulses the well define...

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of feeding rapeseed (27%, DM basis) and sunflower biodiesel by-products as protein supplements on fatty acid composition (FA), profile (ratios and indices),enzyme activitiesfrom thecarcassin lambs fed cereal-based diets. Simultaneously, itwas examined the relationship between ingested FA and carcass FA. Samples were obtaine dfrommal efa...

I . The methods for estimating lignin based on 72 7’ sulphuric acid are lengthy and usually require large corrections for the residual nitrogenous impurities. The steps used in the initial purification of lignin, and particularly those concerned with the removal of nitrogenous impurities using proteolytic enzymes, have been investigated, 2. The conditions that remove the maximum amount of nitro...

Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is a highly stable, cytotoxic ribonuclease with the ability to enter and disrupt membranes that participates in innate immune defense against parasites but also kills human cells. We have used NMR spectroscopy to characterize the binding of ECP to membrane and heparin mimetics at a residue level. We believe we have identified three Arg-rich surface loops and Tr...
