UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is complex, and an effective therapeutic strategy has yet to be established. Recently, carbon monoxide (CO) has been reported to be capable of reducing inflammation by multiple mechanisms. In this study, we evaluated the role of colonic CO insufflation in acute colitis induced by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) i...

BACKGROUND Antibodies to neuraminidase (NA) contribute to protection during influenza virus infection, but NA inhibition (NI) titers are not routinely analyzed in vaccine trials. One reason is the cumbersome nature of the conventional thiobarbituric acid (TBA) NI assay, which uses chemical methods to quantify free sialic acid following incubation of NA with substrate in the presence of serum. I...

one of the simplest methods for short-term handling and storage of fish is the refrigeration in combination with dip treatments. this study was conducted to determine the effect of pre-storage α-tocopherol acetate dipping treatments on lipid stability of refrigerated rainbow trout fillets. trout fillets were dipped in α-tocopherol acetate solutions (200 and 500 mg kg-1 flesh) and subsequently s...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of feeding zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) on the shelf life and stability of ground beef. Beef knuckles and plates were obtained from USDA Select beef heifer carcasses from control (CON) animals or those supplemented with ZH (8.33 mg/kg of dietary DM basis) for the last 20 d of the finishing period. Subprimals were coarsely ground and blend...

Meat products, especially fish meat, are very susceptible to lipid oxidation and microbial spoilage. In this study, first, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZEO) components was done and then two concentrations of ZEO, (1% and 2%) and two concentrations of grape seed extract (GSE), (0.5% and 1%) were used in carboxymethyl cellulos...

A fully randomized experimental design, with three hundred and fifty-one days-old Japanese quails located into the seven treatment groups five replicates ten quail each were used in current study. The treatments whereas basal diet basis corn soybean meal (100 200 and) of vitamin E, sesamine thymoquinone. At end study (35 days old) two from pen selected, weighted, slaughtered. carcass percentage...

Edible films and coatings offer great potential to support sustainable food production by lowering packaging waste, extending product shelf life, actively preserving quality. Using edible containing plant extracts with antioxidant antibacterial characteristics could help enhance the quality life of fish products. In this study, combination effect chitosan beetroot, curcumin, garlic on biogenic ...

background: due to high content of unsaturated fatty acids, trout is susceptible to oxidative spoilage. in this study, the effects of thymus vulgaris essential oil (eo) and extract on oxidative stability of cooked rainbow trout fillet during four months frozen storage period were investigated. methods: three groups of fish fillets were treated with thyme eo and three other groups were treated w...

The scarcity of conventional feed resources and their high price has necessitated exploring cost effective non-conventional ingredients to be utilized to replace the conventional ones like hatchery waste (HW). The chemical composition of HW has revealed its nutrient composition especially higher level of fat (1821%), which pose threat to spoil the quality of of product through rancidity. Hatche...
