Interest in fortification of human foods, including pork, with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is growing and may provide benefits as a neutraceutical based on research evaluating CLA as an anticarcinogen, immune modulator, antiatherogenic agent and a body composition modulator. This study evaluated the combined effects of dietary CLA and supplemental fat source on growth, fatty acid composition...

• Simple modification of fishing gear mitigates bycatch problem in shrimp fishery. Large mesh panel last upper belly section the trawl reduces bycatch. do not lead to significant loss. In Northeast Atlantic deep-water ( Pandalus borealis ) fishery, juvenile fish and represents a problem. This study evaluated if inserting 200 mm size top-panel three sections tapered could reduce juveniles while ...

Cattle 's grazing of the locoweed Wahweap milkvetch (Astragalus lentiginosus var. wabweapensis) was evaluated on desert and foothill winter range during the winter of 1986 to 1987. Dry, dead stalks of Wahweap milkvetch that had grown in 1985 and 1986 made up 15% of cattle diets overall, and 24% of diets when cattle grazed gravelly benches where it was abundant. Nutrit ional quality of Wahweap m...

To the Editor: We appreciate the comment provided by Gun et al regarding our recently published manuscript. We agree that the digastric and stylohyoid muscles are found lateral to the lingual artery as based on embryologic origins as well as previously described anatomic dissections. We contend, however, that the dissections presented do indeed show the posterior belly of the digastric. The ima...

BACKGROUND Hip pain in patients with normal bony anatomy and anterior labral injury may be related to compression of the iliopsoas tendon across the anterior capsulolabral complex. No attempts to characterize the 3-dimensional anatomy of the iliopsoas tendon and its relationship to the acetabular labrum have been reported to date. HYPOTHESIS The iliopsoas tendon directly overlies the capsulol...

A precise knowledge of the sources of the arterial and neural supply of the sternohyoid (SH), sternothyroid (STM), and superior belly of omohyoid (OM) is of value to surgeons using the infrahyoid muscles in reconstruction procedures of the head and neck. This study was designed to define the anatomical bases of the variable sources of the arterial and neural supply of these muscles. Fourteen ca...

A study of the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the belly firmness and fatty acid composition of genetically lean pigs was conducted. From 75 to 120 kg live weight, 30 gilts were allowed ad libitum access to a corn-soybean meal diet supplemented with either 1% CLA oil (CLA-60) or 1% sunflower oil (SFO) or were fed the sunflower oil-supplemented diet restricted to the amount consumed...
