Acute and chronic hyperglycemia are proinflammatory states, but the status of proinflammatory cytokines and markers of oxidative stress and cardiovascular risks is not known in hyperglycemic crises of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and nonketotic hyperglycemia (NKH). We studied 20 lean and 28 obese patients with DKA, 10 patients with NKH, and 12 lean and 12 obese nondiabetic control subjects. We m...

We supplemented diets with α-tocopheryl acetate (100 mg/kg) and replaced beef tallow (BT) in feeds with increasing doses of n-6- or n-3-rich vegetable fat sources (linseed and sunflower oil), and studied the effects on the fatty acid (FA) composition, the α-tocopherol (αT) content and the oxidative stability of rabbit plasma and liver. These effects were compared with those observed in a previo...

In order to assess the sunflower oil (SFO) oxidative stability that was added by essential oils extracted from Lonicera japonica flower buds (LJEO) during deep-frying at 180 °C for 30 h, we clarified compound/compounds of LJEO improved SFO. The results displayed addition (0.06 g/kg) could significantly restrict elevation or reduction in levels total polar compounds (TPC), thiobarbituric acid (T...

Two batches of frankfurters containing about 55% chicken meat with two different oils (including canola and soybean) were manufactured. Batch 1 included canola oil and Batch 2 included soybean oil in the products. Various analyses were performed to detect the lipid changes of both batches during storage. Fatty acid composition analysis using gas chromatography showed little change in the fatty ...

We supplemented diets with a-tocopheryl acetate (100 mg/kg) and replaced beef tallow (BT) in feeds with increasing doses of n-6or n-3-rich vegetable fat sources (linseed and sunflower oil), and studied the effects on the fatty acid (FA) composition, the a-tocopherol (aT) content and the oxidative stability of rabbit plasma and liver. These effects were compared with those observed in a previous...

The current study was performed to investigate mitochondrial protection and anti-aging activity of Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) and the potential underlying mechanism. Lipid peroxidation of liver and brain mitochondria was induced by Fe(2+)-Vit C in vitro. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) colorimetry was used to measure the content of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Mouse liver mi...

this study evaluated the antibacterial and antioxidant effects of tamarind water solution on shelf life of silver carp ( hypophthalmicthys molitrix ) fillet during refrigerator storage. treatments of this study were unwashed samples (control), and samples washed with 1% and 2% tamarind water solution. microbial, physicochemical and sensory analysis including total viable count (tvc), peroxide v...

Feeding dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) during the late stage of the fattening period of Holstein steers was studied in regard to the influence on meat quality. Sixteen Holstein steers approximately 18 months old were used in this study. Eight animals were fed commercial concentrated feed for the entire fattening period. The other eight animals were fed 15% DDGS in the concentrated...

Early studies by our group have shown that lead-induced hypertension (HTN) is closely related to enhanced activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, we have found indirect evidence that hydroxyl radical may be the most likely culprit in lead-exposed animals. In the present study, rat aortic endothelial cells were incubated in the presence of 0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 ppm lead acet...

Rendang is one of the original Indonesian dishes originating from Minangkabau, West Sumatra. Making rendang in general uses main ingredients form beef, coconut milk and various kinds spices seasonings. Coconut contains high saturated fat which has potential to cause degenerative diseases if consumed excess. can be replaced with FiberCreme. FiberCreme a non-dairy creamer that replace milk, compo...
