The percent of lipids in the western diet has been continuously increasing in the last decades and is associated with a decrease in the proportion of protein intake. Recently, we demonstrated that protein malnutrition during lactation is associated with lower body weight and thyroid hypofunction in female rats and their offspring. Our objective in the present study was to determine if a high-fa...

High protein diets are increasingly popularized in lay media as a promising strategy for weight loss by providing the twin benefits of improving satiety and decreasing fat mass. Some of the potential mechanisms that account for weight loss associated with high-protein diets involve increased secretion of satiety hormones (GIP, GLP-1), reduced orexigenic hormone secretion (ghrelin), the increase...

The poor growth of aquatic animals fed with diets containing high plant proteins has been attributed to low diet acceptability and feed value. Supplementation protein hydrolysate, contents free amino acids soluble molecular weight peptides, may increase the value a protein-based diet. In present work, squid processing by-products were enzymatically hydrolyzed used as supplement in diet, without...

this study evaluated the effects of 0.25% activated charcoal added to sesame seed meal (ssm) in partial replacement of soybean meal (sbm) of juvenile clarias gariepinus diet on growth and haematological parameters for 70 day experimental period. six experimental diets were formulated as: control diet 1 (100% ssm without activated charcoal), control diet 2 (100% ssm plus 0.25% activated charcoal...

Hydroxyproline (L-Hyp) is amply present in fishmeal but limited plant-protein sources. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementation with dietary L-Hyp on distribution collagen types muscle, and texture, survival rate, growth feed utilization, body composition as well expression gene that encodes pro-alpha2 chains type I (Col Iα2) large European sea bass (initial weight 60...
