Hen’s egg has long history as a food. It contains a great variety of nutrients to sustain both life and growth. Egg provides an excellent, inexpensive and low calorie source of highquality proteins. Moreover, Eggs are a good source of several important nutrients including protein, total fat, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, cholesterol, choline, folate, iron, calcium, p...

fish larvae experience major cellular and biochemical changes during their early life stages.the aim of the present study was to evaluate alterations in the antioxidant status and values oflipid peroxidation and vitamin c content during the different life developmental stages ofhypophthalmichthys molitrix. eggs and larvae were sampled at fertilization, organogenesis,eyed egg, hatch, active feed...

Several biological activities have now been associated with egg proteinderived peptides, including antihypertensive, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, anticancer and antioxidant activities, highlighting the importance of these biopeptides in human health, and disease prevention and treatment. Special attention has been given to peptides with antioxidant and antimicrobial activities as a new sour...

Soy protein isolate and egg white were added to cassava-banana gluten-free pasta the effects on nutritional quality, digestibility properties, corrected amino acid (PDCAA), sensory acceptance of was observed. Banana-cassava composite flour (75:25) blended with soy or at following rates: 0, 5, 10, 15 g/100 g flour. Cooked samples analysed for total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity, p...

Immune defense involves inflammatory reactions in which immune cells produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) to fight pathogens. ROS may however cause damage to the host if they are not balanced by antioxidant defenses. Therefore, one should expect individuals undergoing an immune reaction to use antioxidants to prevent oxidative stress. Antioxidants are vital compounds that provide important pro...

Chick embryo tissues contain a high proportion of highly polyunsaturated fatty acids in the lipid fraction and therefore need antioxidant defence (Surai, 1999). It is well accepted that maternal diet composition is a major determinant of antioxidant system development during embryogenesis and in early postnatal development. The antioxidant system of the newly hatched chick includes the fat-solu...

The avian egg is an important source of nutrients, containing all of the proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and growth factors required by the developing embryo, as well as a number of defense factors to protect against bacterial and viral infection. Moreover, eggs are now understood to contain substances with biological functions beyond basic nutrition, and extensive research has been under...

Influenza virus infection is associated with development of oxidative stress in lung and blood plasma, viz. increase of primary and secondary lipid peroxidation products. It was established that rimantadine treatment led to a decrease of the products of lipid peroxidation in tissues of mice experimentally infected with influenza virus A/Aichi/2/68 (H3N2). The effect is strongest in blood plasma...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different dietary levels of walnut leaves powder and vitamin e supplementation on blood antioxidant status, production performance and egg quality characteristics in commercial laying hens. a total number of 216 leghorn hy-line w-36 (70 week old) strain laying hens used the completely randomized design were divided into 6 groups with 3 replic...
