Obesity is a common nutrition-related disorder leading to reduced life expectancy in both humans and dogs. With the aim of identifying new prevention control options, study objectives were (1) investigate dog-owner perceptions about obesity terms themselves their dogs, (2) identify factors associated with possible social, environmental economic drivers for its development dog owners pets. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based was performed across multiple countries. The questionnaire focused...
The problem of the erosion animal genetic resources is evident in certain local donkey breeds, and their long-term sustainability can be achieved by economically repositioning them. To develop alternative sustainable commercial programs, meat milk production characteristics Istrian Littoral Dinaric breeds were investigated. examined mature males, whose carcasses dissected, composition was determined using NIT spectrophotometry gas chromatography. Milk yield jennies second or subsequent...
Background The aim of this study was to measure the parameters oxidative stress in blood patients with post-traumatic disorder. Methods included 80 male war veterans who participated actively Homeland Croatia. Volunteers were divided into two groups: 50 diagnosed disorder and 30 without diagnosis. self-assessment Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale Beck Inventory used detect severity depression anxiety patients. Catalytic concentrations superoxide dismutase glutathione peroxidase erythrocytes...
Abstract. Transition dairy cows often enter a stage of negative energy balance during which the utilization reserves is reflected in milk fatty acid (FA) composition. In this study, metabolic status was evaluated by measuring FA, ruminal short-chain FA (RSCFA), and serum biochemical parameters Holstein cows. Samples (milk, rumen contents, blood) were collected around days 30 (early) 150 (middle) lactation, contents blood samples before calving (dry). Fatty acids extracted composition...
The composition and properties of the milk fat mares' is interesting from a nutritional standpoint. aim this study was to determine value Lipizzaner mare's for possible human consumption identity influence parity stage lactation on its fatty acid (FA) composition. This conducted 17 mares state stud farm in Slavonian region (eastern Croatia). Mares were hand-milked twice during fourth sixth months. Significantly higher contents MUFAs (monounsaturated acids) PUFAs (polyunsaturated lower ratios...
Abstract. The aim of the study was to assess effect organic selenium dietary supplementation on serum and tissue lipid composition after fattening period 48 h fasting in chicken. performed Ross hybrid line chicken divided into two groups: control group fed standard diet Sel Plex supplemented with 0.3 ppm selenium. Blood, liver, intestine adipose samples were taken upon completion fasting. Total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) low-density (LDL) triacylglycerol concentrations...
Mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland, is most widespread health problem dairy cows, goats and sheep. Its prevention treatment contribute to significant financial loss milk producers. New research shows that total due clinical mastitis in cows estimated between 110 550 litres per lactation, depending on individual cow. The costs include unusable milk, medications veterinary care costs, extra labour premature culling. Depending form treatments cost 50 150 US animal. Antibiotic...
Exposure of rodents to low-dose whole-body irradiation could cause various antioxidant mechanisms that defend cells from oxidative stress. However, there is a lack results on status in organs chicken after low dose eggs or irradiation. This study was performed investigate the effect gamma-irradiation upon activity glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and level (GSH) lipid peroxidation (TBARS) liver chick embryo newly hatched chicks. Fertilized were...
There are few studies on oxidative stress in reptiles and there is a lack of basic knowledge the tissues widely distributed Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus). The aim present preliminary study was to test compare biological antioxidant potential (BAP), total superoxide dismutase (SOD) glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) derivatives reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROM) muscle tissue between two populations P. siculus. Two free-living groups eight adult males were included each group (N=16)....
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a public health problem with increasing prevalence. Analyses of metabolic and immune profiles have great potential for discovering new markers mechanisms related to the development GDM. We monitored 61 pregnant women during first third trimesters pregnancy, including 13 GDM, 14 elevated glucose in trimester 34 healthy women. A number immunological parameters were measured, glucose, insulin, lipid status, fatty acids, lymphocyte profile, adiponectin,...
The composition of adipose tissue in brown bears (Ursus arctos) is highly variable and depends on an individual's feeding habits. Fatty acid subcutaneous (SAT) may provide insight into bear habits, for which data are scarce. aim this study was to determine the lipid SAT variations fatty substances with regard gender assess relative season body mass (BM) Croatia. Seventy-six samples were analyzed study. We found that gender, season, BM significantly affected SAT. Both females males had higher...
The aim was to determine differences in anthropometric measurements, dietary habits, serum lipid and glucose levels relation high blood pressure (BP) among adolescent boys girls Croatia. specific the effect of habits lifestyle on BP adolescents according sex. study included 260 (68.2%) 121 (31.8%) with data obtained (without missing values) from 246 111 boys. Participants answered questions questionnaire test values were obtained. Non-parametric tests used analyses reference intervals...
