Two experiments were conducted to compare a sample of calcium citrate-malate (CC-M) with a sample of commercial-grade limestone in starting broiler chick diets. In the first experiment, with 0.7 or 0.9% calcium from limestone or CC-M, no differences in bone development (dry fat-free tibia, tibia weight, tibia ash, or tibia calcium) were observed due to calcium source. However, chicks fed the di...

OBJECTIVE Quantitative balance studies were performed to compare fat and calcium absorption in healthy, full term infants fed casein hydrolysate-based (CHF) and soy protein-based (SPF) infant formulas with or without palm olein (PO). Previous studies have reported that PO significantly reduced absorption of both fat and calcium in cow's milk-based formulas in which most of the calcium is inhere...

In this study, a gel/liquid interface is utilized for growing new (calcium-phosphate)/carrageenan garden. The hydrogels are made from carrageenan loaded with either sodium phosphate or calcium chloride, while the interfaced solution contains source of salt not used in (i. e. sodium-phosphate hydrogel calcium-chloride and vice versa). physical chemical properties tubes grown both systems same am...

A 10 wk trial was conducted to investigate the effect of using ground, sterilized eggshell as a calcium source in breeder male diets. Live performance, semen quality, gonadal and visceral organ characteristics, plasma calcium concentration and bone mineralization were evaluated. Forty-five Rhode Island Red cockerels aged 25 wk were caged individually in a conventional open-sided house. The bird...

BACKGROUND Adequate intakes of calcium are required for optimal bone health and protection against chronic disease. Dairy products are an excellent source of calcium. OBJECTIVE The absorption of calcium from a range of fortified milks was measured in humans with the use of stable isotopes. DESIGN Fifteen volunteers participated in a randomized, controlled, double-blind crossover study. Five...

Marine microorganisms have been proposed as a new kind of protein source. Efforts are needed in order to transform the protein-rich biological wastes left after lipid extraction into value-added bio-products. Thus, the utilization of protein recovered from defatted Schizochytrium sp. by-products presents an opportunity. A specific peptide Tyr-Leu (YL) with calcium-binding capacity was purified ...

The addition of phenylephrine or vasopressin to isolated hepatocytes resulted in an efflux of calcium. The intracellular source of this calcium was determined by measuring the calcium released upon the sequential additions of an uncoupling agent and the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 to control and hormone-treated cells. The release promoted by these agents was used as an estimate of the calcium content...

Calcium is an essential mineral which supports bone health as well serves a major therapeutic intervention that can prevent and delay the incidence of osteoporosis.Multicellular aquatic plants like are rich source plant based calcium. To characterize Plant calcium Synthetic sources using sophisticated analytical techniques. were subjected to instrumental analysis such SEM, ICP-OES XRD, comparis...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacing dietary limestone with mashhad power plant calcium-waste in combination with available phosphorus level on growth performance, tibial strength and blood alkaline phosphatase activity in broiler chickens. three hundred and eighty four male broiler chickens were used in a complete randomized design experiment with a 4×2 factorial arr...
