Photosensitization of albino rats fed on lucerne-proetin concentrate

Quality assessment of eggs from laying hens fed a mixture with lucerne protein concentrate

The effect of lucerne-protein concentrate in the diet on growth, reproduction and body composition of rats.

I . Protein concentrates were prepared from freshly cut lucerne by the Pirie proccss and freeze-dried. When supplemented with methionine or cystine and given to rats as the sole sourcc of protein at 120 g protcinjkg diet, the adjusted mean protein efficiency ratio was 2.89 (casein standard at 2. jo). As a supplenient to protein from barley meal the lucerne leaf-protein concentrate (LPC) was sim...

Detailed Dimethylacetal and Fatty Acid Composition of Rumen Content from Lambs Fed Lucerne or Concentrate Supplemented with Soybean Oil

Lipid metabolism in the rumen is responsible for the complex fatty acid profile of rumen outflow compared with the dietary fatty acid composition, contributing to the lipid profile of ruminant products. A method for the detailed dimethylacetal and fatty acid analysis of rumen contents was developed and applied to rumen content collected from lambs fed lucerne or concentrate based diets suppleme...

Retinal atrophy in albino rats associated with Pituranthos triradiatus (umbelliferae)-induced photosensitization.

Pitirrunthos /rirudiutir.s is a common perennial in the Negev desert and although its dense tufts are green all the year, it only occasionally is grazed by goats or gazelles (D. Ashkenazy, personal communication). Five furocoumarins were detected in the shoots of this plant.’ Some furocoumarins present in different members of the Umbelliferae are known to induce photosensitization in various an...

Estimation of Coagulation Parameters in Albino Rats Fed on Canola Oil Supplemented with Atherogenic Diet

Present study was designed to estimate the coagulation parameters like prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). In this study, coagulation parameters were compared in animals fed on low and high conc. of canola oil with that of canola supplemented with atherogenic element. For this purpose, sixty albino rats were selected and divided into five different groups wit...
