objective(s) since diabetes mellitus is accompanied by cognitive impairment in diabetic patient and animal models and since lipids play important roles in neuronal membrane composition, structure and function; we intended to evaluate the effect of dietary butter oil on passive avoidance memory of streptoztosin (stz)-induced diabetic rats in this study. materials and methods thirty six adult mal...

consumption of food containing cholesterol and saturated fatty acids such as butter can increase serum cholesterol and cause cardiovascular diseases. therefore many efforts have been done for decreasing these constituents in foods. in this study, hazelnut and walnut powders were added to butter samples in amounts of 0 (not enriched sample), 10, 20 and 30% for evaluation of chemical characterist...

objective: diabetes is a metabolic disorder which impairs carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. it is accompanied by cognition impairment in diabetic patients and animal models. lipids play an important role in nerve membrane composition, structure and function. this study was designed to evaluate the effect of dietary butter and sesame oils on passive avoidance memory of streptozotocin (stz) diab...

We study the robustness of the butter y network against random static faults. Suppose that each edge of the butter y is present independently of other edges with probability p. Our main result is that there is a 0-1 law on the existence of a linearsized component. More formally, there is a critical probability p such that for p above p , the faulted butter y almost surely contains a linear-size...

Outbreaks of Salmonella contamination of peanut butter have become a serious food safety concern for consumers. Based on the recent studies on peanut butter storage periods and storage methods, we aim to investigate how temperature and light affect the bacteria growth on generic brands of peanut butter. Our results indicate strong temperature and light effects on bacteria growth and the two mai...

This paper proves tight bounds on the bisection width and expansion of butter y networks with and without wraparound. We show that the bisection width of an n-input butter y network is 2(p2 1)n+ o(n) :82n without wraparound, and n with wraparound. The former result is surprising, since it contradicts the prior \folklore" belief that the bisection width was n. We also show that every set of k no...

Rabbits fed on semi-synthetic diets without added cholesterol develop hypercholesterolaemia and a form of atherosclerosis when butter (Wigand, 1959 ; Funch, Krogh & Dam, 1960) or hydrogenated fat (Wigand, 1959) is the sole dietary fat, whereas dietary vegetable oils or fat mixtures having high contents of polyenoic fatty acids increase the serum cholesterol levels only slightly and do not produ...

As one would expect from its general dietary importance, butter has frequently been assayed biologically for its total vitamin A activity. The published results of such assays, however, vary widely, not only because of variations in butter itself, but because of variations in the method of assay, in the met,hod of interpreting data, and in t,he method of expressing result’s. Sherman and Smith (...

Shea butter is the edible fat extracted from the nut of African Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). Consequence of having half of its fatty acids saturated, Shea butter melts at a very high temperature and will be a suitable raw material for margarine production. Margarine is a butter mimicry that is produced from vegetable oils and water. The production of margarine requires a solid fat. Hence hy...

You read a study in a reputable medical journal in which the researchers report a statistically significant correlation between peanut butter consumption and low cholesterol. Under ordinary circumstances, most of us would take this study to be at least some evidence that there is a real causal connection of some sort (hereafter: a real connection) between peanut butter consumption and low chole...
