Determination of protein, lipid, and mineral content fish meat is necessary to ensure that it meets requirements for food regulations commercial specifications. The objective the present study was determine chemical composition Oreochromis niloticus (L.), Nile tilapia, under three different ecosystems: (1) high pollution density Eichhornia crassipes , is, water hyacinth (Lake Chivero), (2) medium Manyame), (3) low Kariba). Dry matter, lipids, ash were evaluated by proximate analysis....
The distribution of interstitial cells Cajal (ICC), the probable pacemakers in gastrointestinal motility, was investigated using an antigenic marker gastric ICC known as C-Kit. Antiserum raised against general neuronal protein gene peptide 9.5 (PGP) well nitrergic nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) were used to investigate nerves. Polyclonal goat anti-human C-Kit reliable labelling stomach. Two classes identified according their distribution: ICC-MY distributed around periphery myenteric ganglia...
Boophone disticha is commonly used in southern Africa for the management of mental-related illnesses. Recently, it was shown to reduce blood pressure (BP) maternally separated mice immediately after withdrawal treatment. However, long-term cardiovascular effects and underlying mechanisms are still illusive. Based on reputed traditional use plant anxiety stress-related disorders, aqueous-ethanolic extract B. screened its autonomic responses repeated acute stressors adult early BALB/c mice....
Objective: To compare the levels of vitamin A in ultra-high temperature treated (UHT) whole milk (3.5% fat) and UHT skimmed (0.5% using UV-visible light spectrophotometry to contribution recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for A.Design: Paired samples liquid were used. Sampling analysis performed by different individuals achieve a randomised blind design.Outcome measures: Thirty paired (n = 30) evaluated content at 328 nm.Results: Absolute concentration was reduced from 208.830 ± 0.083 μg/L...
1. Occurrence of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) in anionic form limits their diffusion across the absorptive membrane. The present study sought to establish mechanism SCFA absorption ostrich. 2. Epithelial tissues were taken from sacculated part colon and mounted Ussing chambers a bathing solution. voltage-clamped allowed equilibrate obtain baseline circuit current (I sc). 3. Propionate (23 mm) on mucosal side increased I sc. SCFA-induced sc was completely inhibited by anoxia, ouabain (1 2...

Antimicrobial agents for treatment of mastitis in dairy cows may result drug residues milk, suppressing production fermented products. The objective this study was to compare the effects lactating cow and dry intra-mammary antimicrobial preparations on fermentation milk. Samples ultra-high temperature-treated milk + starter culture (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis), were prepared. Using serial double dilution, erythromycin-trimethoprim formula added five samples at 62.5-1000 mg/L...
Fermentation of milk yields many other products apart from lactic acid. This study was carried out to monitor the progress fermentation by measuring total solute concentration i.e. osmolality in fermenting milk. Five samples each raw milk, pasteurised and UHT (ultra-high temperature treated) were incubated aerobically without starter culture at 37°C for 3 days. Osmolality measured freezing point depression beginning incubation exactly same time next (mean±SD) increased 290.2±8.0 405.6±31.06...
