thirty multiparous holstein dairy cows with average body weights of 687±15 kg and body condition scores of 3.25±0.15 were allocated to 1 out of each 3 groups, immediately after parturition (dim=11) and in a completely randomized design. the first group was fed diet low in rumen undegradable protein (rup; 5.1% of dry matter), the second group fed with medium rup (7.2% of dry matter) while the th...

background and objective: obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. the abnormalities involved may be mediated by increased secretions of inflammatory proteins called adipocytokines by the adipose tissue. thus, monitoring adipocytokines during weight loss could be helpful in progress evaluation of weight reduction programs. since high-protein diets are cons...

background and objectives: preterm labor is a serious problem in obstetrics, accounting for 70% of perinatal mortality. high sensitive c - reactive protein (hs-crp) is a sensitive marker of inflammation. our aim in this study was to determine amniotic fluid hs-crp concentration and its correlation with pre-term delivery.   materials and methods: this prospective study was conducted on 90 pregna...

background: this study investigated blackberry (persian mulberry) effects on apo a-i, apo b, high-sensitivity-c-reactive protein (hs-crp), and systolic blood pressure (sbp) and diastolic blood pressure (dbp) in dyslipidemic patients. materials and methods: in this 8-week randomized clinical trial, 72 dyslipidemic patients were randomly divided into two groups: intervention (300 ml/day blackberr...

castor bean, peanut, soy bean and safflower protein isolates were prepared. the amino acid content of each of the protein isolates was analysed and the essential amino acid contents were compared with the fao human requirements. the results indicated that castor bean has the highest oil and the protein content of defatted meal. safflower 3148 (marand, iran) has the highest amount of essential a...
