One of the greatest hindrances to the biochemical study of thyroid function has been the lack of a relatively simple, rapid, and accurate method for the determination of minute amounts of iodine in biological material. In general, the methods proposed have been of two types-those employing dry ashing and those employing wet digestion. The principal objections to the former group lie in the comp...

Fresh and freeze-dried sample sections of the coastal macroalgae, Fucus serratus and F. vesiculosus, and the brackish water macroalga, F. ceranoides, have been analysed for trace elements by field-portable-X-ray fluorescence (FP-XRF) spectrometry using a Niton XL3t in a low density mode with thickness correction. When analysed fresh in a laboratory accessory stand for a period of 200 seconds, A...

Because grain is highly digestible, maize hybrids for silage production are generally chosen based on their The nutritive value of forage maize (Zea mays L.) may be improved grain yield. However, the stalk portion of the maize through genetic selection for increased rate of fiber digestion or decreased indigestible fiber concentration. To identify sources of genetic plant contains 50% or more o...

Several studies have reported data on comparisons between two methods: the total collection of feces and the internal markers method. The aim of this study was to assess the apparent digestibility of two concentrates and to compare the apparent digestion coefficients using the total collection of feces and acid-insoluble ash (AIA) as the internal marker method. In 2009, six adult geldings aged ...

Bile acid binding capacity has been related to the cholesterol-lowering potential of foods and food fractions. Lowered recirculation of bile acids results in utilization of cholesterol to synthesize bile acid and reduced fat absorption. Secondary bile acids have been associated with increased risk of cancer. Bile acid binding potential has been related to lowering the risk of heart disease and ...

Two metabolism trials were conducted with 12 yearling crossbred wethers per trial (34 and 38 kg for trials 1 and 2, respectively). The wethers, equipped with ruminal, abomasal and ileal cannulae, were randomly allotted for each trial to the following treatments: 1) hay alone or hay supplemented with 2) .9% urea, 3) 1% urea and 6.5% molasses or 4) 1% urea and 5.2% corn. Two digestive flow marker...

introduction: otorrhea and granulation tissue in canal wall down mastoidectomy (cwd) is the common problem in cholesteatoma removal and leads to many discomfort for both the patient and the physician. the main objective in cwd is creating the dry cavity, so the topical antibiotic and acetic acid in variable saturations are used for this purpose. in this study we evaluate the effectiveness of to...

Pulp-enriched powder (POPP) was obtained from olive pomace solid fraction, a derived the new value chain established for by-products. As multifunctional powder, POPP retains several bioactive compounds (fatty acids, dietary fibre and phenolics) under potential synergic interaction, even more, reactive throughout digestion. So, in this study, multifunctionality of evaluated after gastrointestina...

Municipal sludge contains significant amounts of energy, which can be exploited by the use of anaerobic digestion, combustion or gasification. However, the relatively high moisture content of dewatered biosolids (usually over 80%) and long field experience makes anaerobic digestion the most favourable process for energy production from biosolids. Micro-sieves are novel apparatuses for the remov...
