The aim of this study was to determine how gut and liver protein kinetics adapt to acute exercise in the 18-h-fasted dog ( n = 7) and in dogs glycogen depleted by a 42-h fast ( n = 8). For this purpose, sampling (artery and portal and hepatic veins) and infusion (vena cava) catheters and Doppler flow probes (portal vein and hepatic artery) were implanted with animals under general anesthesia. A...

1. Sex and species differences during the metabolism of [4-(14)C]progesterone by liver homogenates from rat, rabbit, guinea pig and hamster have been investigated. 2. Liver homogenate from male rat formed ;water-soluble' metabolites faster and in significantly larger amounts than did liver homogenate from female rat. About 65-70% of the added progesterone was conjugated as glucuronide by liver ...

The human gut symbionts in whole and probiotics in particular promote intestinal function and health, partially via modulation of gut associated lymphoid tissue. Molecular basis of microbiota-host interaction is pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and their ligands, viz., microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMP). Immunomodulatory effects of probiotics are strain-specific, which is importan...

The enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is a dimeric in which each of its subunits has Zn2+ metal-containing catalytic domain and cofactor binding domain. This converts into an aldehyde. In this article, the activity was investigated by applying immobilization process directly to purified activated florisil from chicken liver. For purpose, homogenization liver achieved supernatants were separate...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of non-starch polysaccharides of barley supplemented with multi-enzyme on growth performance and physiological characteristics of broilers. a total number of 375 one day old ross-308 broiler chickens were allocated randomly to 3 treatments with 5 replicates at 2 rearing period (including 1 to 21 and 22 to 42 days of age) using a crd statistical...
