Studies on Hypoalbuminemia Produced by Protein-deficient Diets

Lipid supplementation of laying hen diets deficient in protein and sulphur amino acids

Effect of Tryptophan Supplementation in Protein Deficient Diets on Performance, Gut Development and Immune Responses in Broiler Chickens

The current trial was conducted to investigate effects of tryptophan (Trp) supplementation in crude protein (CP) deficient diets on performance, gut development and immune responses in broiler chickens. A total of 420 day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were assigned to one of 6 dietary treatments, ‎comprising 5 replicates in a completely randomized design including: 1) ‎control diet (CTL) (diet ...

Effects of branched-chain amino acid deficiency in diets on growth factors, pancreatic enzymes activity and whole body proximate of Sobaity seabream juvenile (Sparidentex hasta)

On the current study the effects of reducing branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in diets of Sobaity sea bream in a constant level (40%) on growth and nutritional indices, pancreatic enzymes activity, whole body chemical proximate and amino acids, was assessed. This experiment was conducted in Marine Fish Research Station of Imam Khomeini harbor during July and August of 2014. For these purposes,...

STUDIES ON HYPOALBUMINEMIA PRODUCED BY PROTEIN- DEFICIENT DIETS I. ttXr~OALBU~rE~IA AS A QUANTITATIVE MEASURE OY TISSUE PROTEIn

The realization within recent years of the prevalence and seriousness of protein deficiency has emphasized the need for some simple means of recognizing the presenc e and degree of such a condition. The only proteins capable of direct clinical measurement are those in the blood. Yet there has, so far, been no evidence that a lowered plasma protein concentration reflects accurately anything but ...

Letters to the Editors

Lunn & Austin (1983) proposed that the hypoalbuminaemia of protein deficiency results from ‘dysadaptation’ which in turn reflects the hyperthyroid state due to the excess dietary energy which follows the consumption of protein-deficient diets. In the protein-deficient rat there can be inverse changes between free and total triiodothyronine (T,) due to an increased binding capacity for T,, and p...
