the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of feeding dietary soy protein and soy protein supplemented with methionine on lipids and lipoproteins content of blood in wistar rats. sixteen male and 16 female wistar rats with the initial live weight of 116 ± 6.3 and 115.8 ± 6.8 grams respectively, were fed by the isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets containing casein (20%), soy protein...

BACKGROUND:Herbal methionine can be compared relative toDl-methionine with evaluation of bioavailability of this source ofmethionine. OBJECTIVES: An experiment was carried out todetermine the relative bioefficacy of herbal methionine (H-Met)®relative to DL-methionine (DL-Met) on performance criteria andimmunocompetence of Met sources in male broilers. Atotal of 160male broilers were fed a Met-d...

the effects of chromium methionine supplementation on performance and serummetaboliteswere evaluated in broiler chickens.two experiments were conducted at22 oc, thermoneutral, (tn) and33±2 oc, heat stressed (hs) conditions. two hundred and eighty eight male broiler chicks (ross 308) were allocated to four treatments in a completely randomized design. treatments with 0 (control), 200, 400 or 800...

Betaine is donor of methyl groups and can partially replace methionine in diets for this purpose. The objective of this study was to evaluate three sources of betaine in partial substitution of methionine supplement in broiler diets. The Cobb-500 broiler chickens were allocated in a completely randomized experimental design with 5 treatments and 7 replicates of 49 birds each. The positive contr...

Heavy metals pollution is one of the key environmental problems. In this research, the effect of seed priming with salicylic acid and sodium hydrosulfide was investigated on methionine and arginine amino acids contents and some compounds derived from their metabolism as well as ZmACS6 and ZmSAMD transcripts levels in maize plants under lead stress. For this purpose, maize seeds were soaked in s...

objective: the objective of this study was to investigate the pathological alterations of methionine for chicken embryo.in recent years, amino acids are used in veterinary medicine for many purposes. they injected into hatching eggs to increase chick body weight and performance at hatch, but the adverse effects of amino acids have always been a major concern. there is scant information availabl...

the clinical uses of gentamicin have so far been restricted due to nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. the exact mechanism of nephrotoxicity is still unknown; however, it appears that free radicals may be involved. methionine has previously been shown to alleviate oxidative stress involved in ototoxicity due to its antioxidant properties. therefore, the effect of methionine supplementation on the g...

an experiment was conducted to determine the appropriate methionine level in broiler breeder’s diet. the treatments consisted of 6 levels of methionine (0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4 and 0.45% diets), with 4 replicates of 7 hens each for a duration of 8 weeks and for ages of 28 to 35 weeks. diets contained similar levels of protein metabolizable energy. the levels of the other amino acids were take...
