this study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of hydrolysable tannin (ht) and condensed tannin (ct) on growth performance and body composition of nile tilapia. hydrolysable tannin and ct were included into diets at four levels (0, 5, 15, and 25 g kg-1 diet). the diet with zero tannin level acted as control and the response of fish fed diets containing tannin was compared to that of the contr...

fifty moghani male lambs with mean body weight of 28±1.9 kg were investigated in a completely randomized design for 98 days to assess the effect of replacing corn silage (cs) by amaranth silage (as) on weight gain, rumen fermentation and blood parameters. five iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous diets, in which cs replaced by different levels of as (0, 75, 150, 225, or 300 g/kg of diet dm), were ...

In type 2 diabetes, hyperglycemia and increased sympathetic drive may alter mitochondria energetic/redox properties, decreasing the organelle's functionality. These perturbations may prompt or sustain basal low-cardiac performance and limited exercise capacity. Yet the precise steps involved in this mitochondrial failure remain elusive. Here, we have identified dysfunctional mitochondrial respi...

We analyze and discuss the location in the E p,i – E iso plane of two peculiar Gamma–Ray Bursts: GRB 060218 and GRB 060614. GRB 060218 is important because of its very low redshift z = 0.033, its low isotropic–equivalent radiated energy E iso ∼ 7 × 10 49 erg and its clear association with a supernova (SN) event (SN 2006aj). Under these respects, GRB 060218 is the event most similar to GRB 98042...

The isomeric di-1,2,3,4-tetrazine tetraoxides DTTO and iso-DTTO have aroused considerable interest in recent years as potential energetic compounds, due to their predicted high densities and heats of formation and superior detonation properties. While neither has yet been synthesized, it has been suggested that the N→O linkages on alternate nitrogens will have a stabilizing effect. In the prese...

The hypothesis was tested that fish fed to satiation with iso-energetic diets differing in macronutrient composition will have different digestible energy intakes (DEI) but similar total heat production. Four iso-energetic diets (2 × 2 factorial design) were formulated having a contrast in i) the ratio of protein to energy (P/E): high (H(P/E)) vs. low (L(P/E)) and ii) the type of non-protein en...

We analyze and discuss the position of GRB 060218 and GRB 060614 in the E p,i – E iso plane. GRB 060218 is important because of its similarity with GRB 980425, the proto–type event of the GRB–SN connection. While GRB 980425 is an outlier of the E p,i – E iso correlation, we find that GRB 060218 is fully consistent with it. This evidence, combined with the 'chromatic' behavior of the afterglow l...
