The relationship between the Electrophoretic Mobility of Cell Nuclei (EMN) index before and after super-maximal and maximal exercises and changes in physiological parameters associated with acid-base balance of the blood (pH, BE) and lactic acid concentration (LA) were examined in junior (N = 33, X = 15.6 y.o. SD = 1.16 y.), and senior (N = 10, X = 22.0 y.o. SD = 2.70 y.) female rowers. The fol...

A low Omega-3 Index (eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in erythrocytes) is associated with cardiac, cerebral, and other health issues. Intake of EPA and DHA, but not of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), increases the Omega-3 Index. We investigated bioavailability, safety, palatability and tolerability of EPA and DHA in a novel source: a variety of sausages. We screened 96 hea...

Using the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index, we investigated the link between insulin resistance and lifestyle in Japanese female university students. We used data for 57 Japanese female university students (21.0±0.8 years) who were enrolled in a cross-sectional investigation study. We performed full blood examinations, and anthropometric parameters, nutrient oral intake and daily step ...

effects of seed priming by salicylic acid on yield and yield components of cowpea (vigna unguiculata) cultivar “parastou” were investigated under water deficit conditions. experiment was carried out as a split block design with three replications in 2008-2009 at research station of zanjan university. factors included drought stress as main factor with three levels (normal irrigation, applicatio...

Fish protein hydrolysates were prepared from Cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) muscle using alcalase and protamex methods. By conducting the Cuttlefish protein hydrolysate using alcalase (CPHA), it showed higher degrees of hydrolysis, proximate composition, yield, emulsifying activity index (EAI), emulsion stability index (ESI), foaming activity index (FAI), solubility, water holding capacity (WHC) ...

Background and Objectives: Breast milk composition is affected by several factors such as maternal diet and body mass index. Milk fats include a major calorie content of the milk, which changes dramatically throughout the lactation. The aim of the present study was to assess breast milk fatty acid profile in overweight and obese mothers and its correlations with maternal body mass index. Mater...

persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus) is a valuable fish caught in the caspian sea. in this study, effect of frying, the most common cooking methods on nutritional properties of the persian sturgeon fillet were investigated. the raw and fried samples were analyzed for amino acid composition, protein and fat content, in vitro digestibility and nutritional parameters. the results showed that the ...

in this project, different nettle plants from north regions of iran including tonekabon, amol and gorgan were collected. the oil was extracted using soxhlet extraction apparatus and was subjected to series of physical and chemical tests and determinations consisting of refractive index, melting point, smoke point, nonsaponifiable matter, iodine value, saponification value, peroxide value, totox...
