exercise training has been shown to decrease chronic low- grade systemic inflammation in high- fat diet induced obesity. however, the mechanisms mediating its beneficial effects are not fully understood. therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 12- week endurance training on il-6, il-10 and nesfatin -1 in obese male rats. sixteen male wistar rats (2 months old) were ...

this study was investigated the effects of dietary estradiol-17? (e2) on growth, body composition and blood indices in acipenser stellatus. fish (40.9 ? 1.1 g average initial weight; n = 60 per group) were fed with three different diets containing 0 (control), 25 and 50 mg kg-1 dietary estradiol contents to apparent satiation for seven months. the results suggested that growth rate were decreas...

________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The objective of this trial was to quantify the differences in average daily gain (ADG), backfat thickness (BFT), eye muscle area (EMA), fat thickness (FT) on different body parts, the feed conversion ratio (FCR), body measurements and the weight of internal organs of Dorper lambs exposed to supplemented l...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplement-ation of rosemary essential oils (REO) and zinc (as zinc sulfate) on performance, egg quality traits, and some serum biochemical metabolites of laying hens. A total of 144 44-weeks-old Lohmann LSL-Lite laying hens were randomly allocated into four treatments, each comprising six replicates of six birds. The first group was s...

the present study was performed to evaluate the on-station growth performance of local and dorper × local crossbred sheep in eastern amhara region, ethiopia. data on 302 lambs collected over a 4-year period (2009 to 2012) on local and dorper × local crossbred sheep at sirinka breeding, evaluation and distribution site were used in this study. fixed effects considered were breed, lamb sex, birth...

Phospholipids (soy lecithin) are important in the emulsification of lipids and may be able to escape the rumen and influence the absorption of fatty acids in the small intestine. The objectives of this study were to determine the influence of dietary canola seed (high in unsaturated fatty acids) and soy lecithin in high-forage diets on performance, serum lipid metabolites, and carcass character...

The objective of the study was to evaluate chemical composition, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), and growth performance of weanling Boer-goats supplemented with cowpea seed hulls (CSH) and commercial concentrate / feed (CF) with natural pasture as basal diet. Weanling Boer-goats (n=36) were assigned to 3 treatments comprising of 4 animals each (2 bucklings and 2 females) replicated t...
