this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of emulsifiers such as lecithin and bile salts onbroilers performances fed diet containing vegetable fats. 192 male ross broiler chickens were randomlyallocated in a factorial experiment design of 3 × 2, consisting two sources of fat (four percent fatty acidsor soy bean oil) and three emulsifiers (none, one percent lecithin and 0.05 percent b...

Cholesterol and dietary phospholipids are important to the growth and survival of crustaceans. Soy lecithin enhances cholesterol solubilization while phosphatidylcholine transfers cholesterol from the hepatopancreas to the hemolymph. To study the influence of dietary lecithin on digestibility and transport of cholesterol to the hemolymph in Artemesia longinaris, diets with different levels of s...

Cryopreservation of spermatozoa plays a significant role in reproductive medicine and fertility preservation. Chicken egg yolk is used as an extender in cryopreservation of human spermatozoa using glycerol egg yolk citrate (GEYC) buffered medium. Even though 50% survival of spermatozoa is generally achieved with this method, the risk of high levels of endotoxins and transmission pathogens from ...

The disappearance of free cholesterol in incubated serum is inhibited in some lightly heparinized subjects. This inhibition is accentuated when an emulsion of soy bean phosplmtides is added to the serum prior to incubation. The combined effect of in vivo heparin and in vitro phosphatide is the reverse of that produced by added phosphatide alone in unheparinized serum. In a limited number of exp...

Viscera of tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) were used for the production a protein hydrolysate, which was characterized in terms proximate composition, molecular weight distribution, amino acid composition and antioxidant activity (ABTS radical scavenging capacity, ferric ion reducing power (FRAP) chelating activity). Liposomes from soy lecithin (SL), rapeseed (RL), soy-rapeseed (SRL) blend (1:1, w/w...

BACKGROUND Lecithin is a complex mixture of phospholipids which compose lipid bilayer cell membranes. Lipid replacement therapy, or administration of phospholipids for the purpose of repairing the dmaged cell membranes, had been shown to alleviate fatigue. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of soy lecithin on fatigue in middle-aged women, as well as other menopausal symptoms and ...

introduction using vegetable oils and animal fats in poultry diets have beneficial effects for poultry production. they often have higher biological value than expected, increasing dietary metabolizable energy, which usually results in higher growth rates and better feed efficiency. sterol-regulatory element binding proteins (srebps) play a key role in transcriptional regulation of cholesterol ...

We compared alternative bait markers for a Shldy of free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) based on the following criteria: 1) detectability in fecal matter; 2) incorporation into com bait; 3) palatability; and 4) cost. We used penned sheep (Ovis aries) as an experimental model to evaluate Microtaggants, metallic t1akes, plastic chips, and rare earth elements as bait markers, a...

The effects of four different canola lecithins applied at proportions of 30 g fatty acid kgÿ1 diet were compared with diets containing either no additional lipid or the same amount of fatty acids from canola seed, pure canola oil and deoiled soy lecithin, respectively. Four types of canola lecithin with increasing dispersibility in water were used: raw; deoiled; deoiled/hydrolysed; and hydrolys...

Lecithin, a naturally small molecular surfactant, which is widely used in the food industry, can delay aging, enhance memory, prevent and treat diabetes. The interaction between zein and soy lecithin with different mass ratios (20:1, 10:1, 5:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2) in ethanol-water solution and characterisation of zein and lecithin composite colloidal nanoparticles prepared by antisolvent co-...
