Some aspects of the alteration of kidney transamidinase activities by rapidly growing tumors have been investigated. Transamidinase activities, in vitro, were determined in kidneys from normal and tumor-bearing animals fed diets supple mented individually with arginine, glycine, creatine, and protein. These dietary constituents were chosen because each had been previously reported to have a gre...

Consumption of isoflavones may prevent adiposity, hepatic steatosis, and dyslipidaemia. However, studies in the area are few and primarily with genistein. This study investigated the effects of formononetin and its synthetic analogue, 2-heptyl-formononetin (C7F), on lipid and cholesterol metabolism in C57BL/6J mice. The mice were fed a cholesterol-enriched diet for five weeks to induce hypercho...

An experiment was carried out to compare the effects of laying hen’s diet supplemented with inorganic and different organic sources of selenium (Se) on quality and oxidative stability of eggs during storage. A total of 81, (35-week old) laying hens of Lohmann LSL-White were assigned to cages in a completely randomized design with 9 groups of treatment and 3 replicates of 3 birds. Hens in each g...

We have studied the ability of branched chain amino-acid enriched total parenteral nutrition solutions to improve nutritional status without stimulating tumor growth. Protein kinetics, nitrogen balance, tumor kinetics, fractional synthetic rates of individual tissues, and albumin synthesis were compared in male Sprague-Dawley rats (125-145 g) that had either s.c. Yoshida sarcoma (n = 15) or sha...

Health claims on food packaging can focus the presence of good (vs. absence bad) and preservation nature nutritional improvements). We study frequency use four resulting types (“clean,” “whole,” “diet,” “enriched”) in three categories over past ten years contrast it with preferences associations American French consumers. Focusing breakfast cereals, we find a strong match France but mismatch Un...

OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND To assess renoprotective effects of a blueberry-enriched diet in a rat model of hypertension. Oxidative stress (OS) appears to be involved in the development of hypertension and related renal injury. Pharmacological antioxidants can attenuate hypertension and hypertension-induced renal injury; however, attention has shifted recently to the therapeutic potential of natur...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ground or steam-flaked corn and zinc-enriched yeast addition grower pellet feed on fattening performance, rumen papillae development, some blood parameters in lambs. For this purpose, thirty-six Kivircik male lambs were selected divided equally into six groups: basal diet containing without different form (control), 80% + 20% (PGC), (PFC), PGC Zn-enri...
