We investigated the relationship between spouses' marital satisfaction and partners' parenting practices (emotional support, control attempts, rejection) considered role of coparenting behavior as a mediator this relationship. Participants were 519 married or living together couples, with 9- to 13-year-old children, in Lisbon east coast Portugal. Interparental cooperation, interparental conflict, triangulation child tested mediators associations (MS) (PP). Structural equation modeling was...

It is now well established that exogenous β-1,4-xylanases improve the nutritive value of wheat-based diets for poultry. Among other factors, mechanism action enzymes may involve a microbial route resulting from generation prebiotic xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) in birds' gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. In series three experiments, effect XOS on performance broilers fed wheat or corn-based was investigated. experiment 1, birds receiving supplemented with displayed an increased weight gain (P =...

1. Concentrations of beneficial omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAs) in poultry meat can be improved by increasing the concentration n-3 PUFA diets.2. A decrease flavour quality is, however, usually associated with dietary supplementation PUFA, which is due to susceptibility oxidation.3. This experiment was conducted study effects introducing two different acid sources (extruded linseed and DHA Gold™, a proprietary algal product rich docosahexaenoic acid), either...

Os estilos parentais educativos constituem um conceito central na área de estudos da parentalidade e do desenvolvimento infantil. Neste sentido, décadas investigação demonstram o impacto dos em vários aspectos ajustamento socioemocional criança adolescente. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as propriedades psicométricas a validade fatorial versão portuguesa autorrelato Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire. A amostra foi constituída por 2081 indivíduos portugueses (1085 mães;...

Abstract1. Chicken breast meat is a lean due to its low content of intramuscular fat (IMF) resulting in an overall lower acceptability by consumers decrease juiciness, flavour and increased chewiness. Recently, studies performed pigs suggested the possibility increasing IMF decreasing dietary crude protein (CP) content, effect possibly mediated through lipogenesis.2. Dietary supplementation with lipids rich omega 3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA) may modulate increase...

Triticale, a hybrid of wheat and rye, is cereal grain that displays nutritive value similar to resistance hard agronomic conditions, which are more identical rye. Because its lower price in comparison with or corn, triticale may be potential alternative raw material for broiler diets. However, known contain significant proportion soluble arabinoxylans, act as antinutritive factors poultry. Nevertheless, levels polysaccharides not high In the present study, capacity xylanases, used at...

The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has quickly swept the globe leaving a devastating trail of lost human lives and leading to public health economic crisis. With this in mind, prosociality been heralded as potential important factor overcome negative effects pandemic. As such, study, we examined effectiveness brief reflexive writing exercise about recent experiences gratitude on individuals’ intentions engage prosocial behaviors using sample 253 participants living...

To improve the nutritive value of barley-based diet for broilers, 2 experiments using different barley lots were performed to evaluate capacity a mesophilic cellulase when fused β-glucan specific family 11 carbohydrate-binding module. The data revealed that recombinant β-glucanase derivatives not appropriate feed supplementation because lack stability at acidic pH levels. However, under same experimental conditions, commercial enzyme mixture improved 1 cereal used. Analysis barleys intrinsic...

1. Endo-1,4-β-xylanase is known to improve the nutritive value of wheat-based diets for poultry by degrading dietary arabinoxylans. However, broilers' response supplementation with exogenous endo-1,4-β-xylanase not always observed.2. In this study, 108 different wheat lots were analysed levels extract viscosity as well endogenous activity, and impact these two variables in animal performance was tested.3. Results revealed that activity content varied widely among lots. Thus, a trial...

1. Microbial β-1,3-1,4-glucanases improve the nutritive value of barley-based diets for poultry by effectively decreasing degree polymerisation anti-nutritive soluble β-glucans. Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) acting on recalcitrant polysaccharides display a modular architecture comprising catalytic domain linked to one or more non-catalytic Carbohydrate-Binding Modules (CBMs). 2. GHs and CBMs have been classified in different families based primary structure similarity (see CAZy webpage at...

Anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria organize a comprehensive range of cellulases and hemicellulases in high molecular weight multienzyme complexes termed cellulosomes. Integration cellulosomal components occurs via highly ordered protein-protein interactions between cohesins dockerins. This paper reports the production mini-cellulosomes containing one (GH16-1C) or three (GH16-3C) copies Clostridium thermocellum glucanase 16A (CtGlc16A). Barley β-1,3-1,4-glucans are known to be antinutritive for...

1. Exogenous microbial beta-1,3-1,4-glucanases and hemicellulases contribute to improving the nutritive value of cereals rich in soluble non-starch polysaccharides for poultry. 2. In general, plant cell wall hydrolases display a modular structure comprising catalytic module linked one or more non-catalytic carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). Based on primary similarity, CBMs have been classified 50 different families. anchor cellulases into their target substrates, therefore eliciting...

1. Cellulases and xylanases display a modular architecture that comprises catalytic module linked to one or more non-catalytic carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). CBMs have been classified into 52 different families, based on primary structure similarity. These mediate prolonged intimate contact of the enzyme with target substrate eliciting efficient hydrolysis polysaccharides. 2. A study was undertaken investigate importance family 11 CBM, displaying high affinities for barley β-glucans,...

Maize and soybean meal are the most common ingredients in diets for monogastric animals. Although maize is low anti-nutritive factors, often contains significant levels of soluble galactans, mannans or oligosaccharides raffinose series that may cause considerable nutritional disorders when ingested. It well established cellulases xylanases very effective improving nutritive value barley, wheat rye based broiler chicks through hydrolysis glucans arabinoxylans. A study was undertaken to...

O peptídeo semelhante a glucagon 1 (GLP-1) (do inglês: Glucagon-like Peptide-1), é uma incretina intestinal secretada normalmente pelas células L enteroendócrinas após ingestão de alimentos. GLP-1 estimula secreção insulina, resultando na diminuição da glicemia e redução do apetite, o que, por sua vez, leva à menor Os análogos são moléculas sintéticas que imitam ação endógeno, prolongando atividade no organismo. Em ensaios clínicos, administração tem consistentemente demonstrado...
