two experiments were conducted to investigate interactions of wheat bran, barley bran, or soybean hulls with sodium deoxycholate and cholesterol in broiler chickens. a completely randomize design was used with a 4×2 factorial arrangement and 256 one-day old broiler chickens (ross 308) with 8 experimental diets in 4 replicates of 8 birds per replicate for each experiment. factors for first exper...

one of the most important issues affecting environmental health and sustainable food production is application of organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers. this study set out to investigate the effect of application of soil humic acid and fulvic acid on barley plant. to this end a factorial experiment was carried out on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replicat...

this study investigated the fatty acids profile, oxidative stability indices, and bioactive compounds of virgin and processed olive oils (leccino and frantoio cultivars). results showed that fatty acid profile of the studied oils contained mostly oleic acid followed by palmitic and linoleic acid. acid values of virgin frantoio and processed leccino were 0.78 and 0.18 mg koh/g oil, with peroxide...

Bacterial cellulose is a biological polymer with a variety of extraordinary properties which make it a functional material for different industrial fields. This work aimed at monitoring the effects of three different organic acids and nanoparticles on the production, water holding capacity and structural characteristics of bacterial cellulose. Different concentrations of organic acids and nanop...

Objective: In this study, we elucidated the ameliorative effect of aqueous extract of leaves of Mumiju against acetic acid-induced experimental colitis in male rats. Materials and Methods: The animals were randomly divided into four groups (n=7) including I: control group, II: vehicle group (injected with 2 ml acetic acid (4%) intra rectally), III and IV: treatment groups which received Mumiju ...

BACKGROUND: Although red blood cell eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) plus docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content (the Omega-3 Index) predicts cardiovascular death, the factors determining the Index are unknown. METHODS: In 704 outpatients, we undertook an investigation of the clinical determinants of the Index. RESULTS: Factors associated with the Index in decreasing order were: EPA+DHA supplement use, ...

Environmental stress, particularly drought stress can play an important role in reducing plant growth especially during the germination stage in arid and semi-arid regions in Iran. For cultivation of medicinal plants in arid and semi-arid areas, the assessment of their tolerance is very important. In this research, in order to evaluate the effects of salicylic acid pretreatment on enhancement o...

background and objectives: nowadays, considerable to food biodegradable and edible packaging increased. synthetic packaging due to the problems environment edible coating are thin layer of material which are on the surface of food products and increased the shelf life of foodstuff by providing a moisture and oxygen barrier. edible coatings might be used as carriers of various substances, includ...
