Adrenal delta5-3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (delta5-3beta-HSD) activity and serum corticosterone level were significantly higher in rats fed with 5% casein or 4% albumin diets after 1 hr of ether anaesthetic stress as compared to the controls, 5% casein and 20% casein (equivalent to 4% albumin) respectively. Ether anaesthesia to 20% casein fed rats caused no change in adrenal delta5-3beta...

BACKGROUND Hepatitis C is a global health concern that represents a major cause of liver disease and socioeconomic burden. Currently, there is no vaccine that protects against this infection or drug that treats it effectively. The current treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection does not produce a sustained virologic response. Therefore,discovery and identification of a new drug for HCV ...

Casein is one of the milk proteins which have unique characteristic, it called assembly. Assembly casein can interact with or others to form micelle nanoparticle. The nano size accelerate process absorption into body, making suitable as a delivery system nutraceutical food. It happen appropriate temperature. According statement, this research aims determine best temperature for reassembling phe...

The present investigation was aimed at studying 1.26 kb αS2-casein promoter gene in αS2casein gene locus between the three buffalo breeds. αS2 -casein promoter gene was amplifi ed by PCR using oligonucleotide primers standardized for Bos taurus species. The sizes of the amplifi cation products were similar. PCR amplicons are subjected to restriction digestion by the enzyme Eco RV, only an intac...

Nentwich I . , Szépfalusi Zs. , Kunz C. , Spuergin P. , Urbanek R.: Antigenicity for Humans of Cow Milk Caseins, Casein Hydrolysate and Casein Hydrolysate Fractions. Acta Vet. Brno 2004, 73: 291-298. Cow milk casein consists of several fractions each of which have different structure and differing antigenicity. The aim of the study was to investigate the capacity of cow milk casein, casein frac...

Twenty-five wether lambs (34 +/- 0.9 kg) fitted with ruminal and abomasal infusion catheters were used in a completely randomized design to determine the effects of differing proportions of ruminal and abomasal casein infusion on N balance in lambs fed a high-concentrate diet (85% corn grain, 1.6% N; DM basis) for ad libitum intake. Wethers were infused with 0 (control) or 10.4 g/d of N from ca...

Milk and milk components are mainly used for related food products. Nevertheless, some of the milk constituents such as casein have alternative non-food applications. In ancient Egypt caseinbased glue was first used. Milk casein proteins are also used for other technical applications [1] including plastic manufacturing [2], fiber textile [3], methane gas production [4]. Casein proteins in bovin...

In the hormonally responsive 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)or A/-nitrosomethylurea (NMU)-induced mam mary carcinomas, regulatory mechanisms have been altered such that these tumors retain their hormonal dependence for growth but possess only a limited ability to synthesize the mammary gland-specific milk proteins. Quantitation of casein mRNA levels revealed that very low levels of casein...

The present study is the first to examine the hypothesis that dietary supplementation with beta-casein A1 promotes an increased risk relative to supplementation with beta-casein A2 in patients traditionally at high risk of developing CVD. The study was conducted in fifteen asymptomatic participants (six male; nine female) at high risk of developing CVD. A double-blind cross-over study design wa...

Forty-eight barrows with an average initial body weight of 25.5±0.3 kg were assigned to 6 dietary treatments arranged in a 3×2 factorial of 3 graded levels of P at 1.42, 2.07, or 2.72 g/kg, and 2 levels of casein at 0 or 50 g/kg to compare the estimates of true total tract digestibility (TTTD) of P in soybean meal (SBM) for pigs fed diets with or without casein supplementation. The SBM is the o...
