A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding inulin diets containing 2 different types fat as energy sources on performance, blood serum metabolites, liver lipids, and fatty acids abdominal adipose tissue breast thigh meat. total 240 one-day-old female broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 1 6 treatments with 8 replicates per treatment 5 pen. The experiment consisted a 3 x factorial arrangement including concentrations (0, 5, 10 g/kg diet) [palm oil (PO) sunflower (SO)] at an...

Abstract BACKGROUND: To our knowledge, there is scant literature on comparative broiler response to cereal diets high in soluble non‐starch polysaccharides without or with enzyme, prebiotic, probiotic synbiotic supplementation. In the present study, effects of a wheat‐ and barley‐based diet supplemental xylanase plus β‐glucanase, inulin, Enterococcus faecium inulin , bird performance, digesta viscosity, nutrient digestibility intestinal microflora were compared maize‐based diet. RESULTS:...

The objectives of the present study were to investigate effects inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) on growth performance, whole body fillet chemical composition intestinal microbiota rainbow trouts reared under fish farming conditions. Trouts fed inulin- or FOS-containing diets (5 10 g kg−1) exhibited significant (P = 0.030) weight gain improvements compared with controls. An increase in gross energy 0.044) Ca content 0.034) was observed for prebiotic treatments. A decrease crude...

Inclusion of prebiotics in the diet is known to be advantageous, with positive influences both on health and growth. The current study investigated differences hepatic transcriptome profiles between chickens supplemented inulin (a storage carbohydrate found many plants) controls. Liver a major metabolic organ has been previously reported involved modification lipid metabolism fed inulin. A nutrigenomic approach through analysis liver RNA hybridized Affymetrix GeneChip Chicken Genome Array...

Purpose JUNIPER, a randomized, phase III trial of patients with stage IV non–small cell lung cancer and detectable Kristen rat sarcoma ( KRAS ) mutation in codons 12 or 13 whose condition progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy up to 1 additional therapy (could include immune checkpoint inhibitors), reported prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) but not overall (OS) among who were receiving abemaciclib versus those erlotinib. To establish whether certain patient subgroups received...

To study the influence of medium constituents on growth, and exopolysaccharide (EPS) production by a strain Oenococcus oeni. The structure one EPSs has also been characterized.EPS concentration was estimated phenol/sulfuric acid method. After purification fractionation crude EPSs, sugar composition determined GLC-MS TMS methyl glycosides. major polysaccharide is 2-substituted-(1-3)-beta-D-glucan. This methylation analysis conventional (1)H- (13)C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In...

Abstract Three weaning treatments (weaning at 45 days of age, 65 unweaned) and two slaughter weights (24 28 kg) were compared in lambs raised pasture, their effect on carcass meat traits studied. Unweaned displayed a greater growth rate, lower concentrate consumption, dorsal fat thickness, more kidney knob channel total levels, measured through dissection the hind limb. Total collagen concentration was unweaned intramuscular these same animals exhibited proportion saturated fatty acids...

The generation of platelet-activating factor (PAF) in response to complement-coated zymosan particles, ionophore A23187 and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) was studied human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). TPA an active stimulator PAF biosynthesis but showed a time course more protracted than that observed other secretagogues. not found activate acetyl-CoA:lyso-PAF acetyltransferase activity nor significantly enhance the incorporation either [3H] lyso-PAF or [3H]acetate into...

Some physicochemical and rheological properties of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Pediococcus parvulus 2.6 were examined. Structural characterization NMR (1H 2D-COSY) showed that same EPS, a 2-substituted (1,3)-β-d-glucan, was synthesized irrespective sugar source used for growth (glucose, fructose, or maltose). The molecular masses these β-glucans always very high (>106 Da) influenced culture medium source. steady shear experiments all concentrations β-glucan aqueous solutions...

Abstract Forty-five Talaverana breed sucking lambs of both sexes were slaughtered at 10 and 12 kg live weight in order to study the effect gender slaughter on carcass, meat fat traits. Carcass dressing proportions fatness (by various measures) higher females heavier lambs, which also showed better conformation. Lightness (L*) carcass was males lambs. Females displayed a greater proportion dissection, primarily due percentage subcutaneous tissue. Water-holding capacity lower-weight Males...

This study involved 53 Talaverana-breed lambs fattened until reaching a slaughter weight of 28 kg.After weaning at 45 days age, the were divided into four groups.The two groups pasture, while those other kept on drylot.One group pasture and another drylot received commercial fattening concentrate.The whole barley with protein supplement.Drylot displayed better carcass dressing, greater fatness, higher conformation values superior refrigerated than pasture.Lambs concentrate compactness less...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence two factors — pressing (with either a traditional or pneumatic press) and vat material (stainless steel chestnut wood) on global parameters volatile acidic compounds ciders throughout their fermentation in relation micro-organism levels. A complete factorial design with applied samples were taken at five stages cider fermentation. In each stage, 21 measured by standard methods, HPLC, GC, enzymatic microbiological techniques.

The objectives of the current study were (1) to evaluate effect sprouting on protein, amino acids, fats, fatty starch, total soluble carbohydrates, and ß-D-glucan content barley grains (2) know these nutrients in morphological fractions sprouts: green shoot, residual structure sprouted grain (RSSG), plus unsprouted (RSSG UG), root determine proportion each (on fresh dry basis) sprout biomass. Barley was a commercial germination chamber for period 6 days. Raw used as control. Results showed...

The thermodegradative behavior of an exopolysaccharide (EPS), produced by Pediococcus damnosus 2.6 from a strain isolated ropy Basque Country cider, was studied. Two endothermic processes at 118 and 163°C were detected differential scanning calorimetry considered as sub main glass transitions, respectively, for the EPS. Dynamic thermogravimetry experiments showed: first weight loss, below 100°C, due to alcohol molecules trapped in structure EPS, degradation process involving both dehydration...
