The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of substitution of corn grain with dried citrus pulp (DCP) on milk composition, fatty acids profiles and blood metabolites in Holstein dairy cows. These parameters were measured in a replicated 4 × 4 latin square design experiment using eight Holstein cows. Each experimental period lasted 4 weeks. The four treatments were: control (...

Background: The superiority of TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios in predicting  CVD risk is a matter of debates. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare TG/HDL-C and LDL-C to HDL-C ratios in predicting the risk of CVD events. Methods: In a population-based cross-sectional study, 567 representative participants aged 40 years or older were entered in the study in Babol, North of Iran. The...

THE WIDE SPECTRUM of liver transplantation (LT) indications can be summarized in general terms as follows: (1) progressive primary liver disease with the expected outcome of hepatic failure, (2) stable liver disease with remarkable morbidity or a known mortality, (3) hepatic-based metabolic disease, (4) fulminant hepatic failure of known or unknown cause, (5) liver diseases secondary to systemi...

Several oxovanadium (IV) complexes of pyradoxamine (PM), pyridoxol (P), pyridoxal (PL), and glycinehydroxamate (GX) were obtained as a result of potentiometric data analysis using SUPERQUAD at I = 0.15 M NaCl and T = 25°C. Protonated, unprotonated and hydroxospecies were detected in solutions. No polymeric species of oxovanadium(IV) were found under the experimental conditions used. Differentia...
