Effects of Alfalfa Saponins on Cholesterol Metabolism in Broilers
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels alfalfa saponins on cholesterol metabolism in broilers. A total of 320 Arbor Acres (AA) broilers of 1 day-old were randomly allotted to 4 treatments with five replicates in each treatment, and with 16 broilers in each replicate. The experiment last 49 days. During the stage from 0 to 3 weeks, broilers in the control group ...
متن کاملCholesterol and bile acid balance in Macaca fascicularis. Effects of alfalfa saponins.
We determine the effects of alfalfa top saponins on cholesterol and bile acid balance in eight cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis). The monkeys ate semipurified food containing cholesterol with or without added saponins. The saponins decreased cholesterolemia without changing the levels of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol; hence, they reduced the total cholesterol/high density lipopro...
متن کاملUse of β-Glucanases and β-1,4-Xylanases to Supplement Diets Containing Alfalfa and Rye for Laying Hens: Effects on Bird Performance and Egg Quality
It is well established that the use of alfalfa in diets for monogastric animals is limited by its high fiber content. However, alfalfa is a natural source of xanthophylls and gives poultry products a desirably yellow color. In addition, alfalfa saponins may contribute to reduce the levels of cholesterol in the meat and egg yolk. We have investigated the potential utilization of β-glucanases and...
متن کاملCell death induction and nitric oxide biosynthesis in white poplar (Populus alba) suspension cultures exposed to alfalfa saponins.
The present work reports on the biological activity of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) saponins on white poplar (Populus alba, cultivar 'Villafranca') cell suspension cultures. The extracts from alfalfa roots, aerial parts and seeds were characterized for their saponin content by means of thin layer chromatography (TLC) and electrospray ionisation coupled to mass spectrometry. The quantitative saponi...
متن کاملCharacteristics of saponin-utilizing bacteria from the rumen of cattle.
Evidence for the microbial degradation of plant saponins is limited to few investigations. Rothrock et al. (1955) have reported that the saponins from Dioscorea tubers can be cleaved into their component parts, diosgenin and the sugar moiety, by Aspergillus terreus. Among the bacteria, yeast, and molds examined, only strains of Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Fusarium were capable of hydrolyzing ...
