Background: According to previous studies, patient with metabolic syndrome (MetS) are different in terms of body composition from healthy subjects. The purpose of the present study was to determine the body composition of healthy obese/overweight patients and compared them with those having MetS. Methods: A case-control study was conducted on both men and women aged 20 to 55 years, who were sel...

Thirty multiparous Holstein cows (29.8 ± 4.01days in milk; 671.6 ± 31.47 kg of body weight) were used in a completely randomized design to compare nutritional value of four fat sources including tallow, raw soybeans, extruded soybeans and roasted soybeans for 8 weeks. Experimental diets were a control containing 27.4 % alfalfa silage, 22.5% corn silage, and 50.1% concentrate, and four diets wit...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the productive performance, apparent digestibility, and carcass longissimus dorsi muscle characteristics lambs fed diets supplemented with four levels Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Thirty-two male Hampshire (25.82±1.95 kg body weight) were distributed in treatments: basal diet (20:80, forage:concentrate), inclusion 0, 3, 5, 10 g animal−1 d−1Saccharomyces ...

Adenovirus 36 (Ad36) is the only adenovirus to date that has been linked with obesity in humans. Our previous studies in late-adolescent females suggest that excess weight in the form of fat mass is associated with lower cortical bone strength. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between Ad36-specific antibodies, adiposity, and bone strength in our sample of late-adolescent...

Growth hormone (GH) was elevated in young growing, intact female Wistar-Furth rats bearing growth hormone (GH1) or growth hormone and prolactin (GH3) secreting tumors. Animals were injected with GH1 or GH3 cells at 1 wk of age. Total feed intake was measured for the 8-wk period from weaning until killed at 11 wk of age. Animals were fed a commercial chow diet throughout the trial. Body composit...

Twenty four primiparous and multiparous Holstein cows on early lactation, beginning five weeks postpartum, were used for four weeks to investigate the effects of supplemention of rumen-protected choline (RPC) or vitamin E on milk yield, milk composition, dry matter intake, body condition score and body weight. The cows were randomly assigned to one of the following treatments: I)no supplement (...

Abstract The paper presents the main results of experiment on use high-protein concentrate “Gorlinka” in diets dairy cows and laying hens their productive qualities. It was found that terms indicators nutritional value (protein, fat, nitrogen-free extractives, ash elements), as well amino acid composition mineral substances, studied surpasses traditionally used feeding farm animals birds, oil c...

The aim of study as to determine the effects some composts on nutritional value Pleurotus pulmonarius (Fr.) Quel. energy, dry matter, moisture, crude protein, fat, ash, organic and nitrogen free extract were 311.3-313.9 (kcal 100 g-1), 91.8-92.5, 7.5-8.2, 27.3-38.6, 1.5-1.9, 5.3-6.4, 35.9-46.8 86.0-87.1 (g g-1) weight, respectively. contents polymeric substance determined 13.6-16.2% cellulose, ...

in order to study the effect of macro nutrients on growth characteristics of two corn (zea maize l.) varieties (kws2360, ressuda pionee), an experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with three replications at growth room of crop physiology department of debrecen university. the treatments were nutrient solution free nitrogen (n), nutrient solution free phosphorus (p), nutrient s...
