Abstract Objective: Globally, 3-5.2 percent of people suffer from diabetes which is one of the most serious metabolic disorders resulting in an increase in inflammatory biomarkers e.g. interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and C-reactive protein. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress and fasting blood glucose, lipid profile and a...

This study investigates the ability of human plasma-derived lipid transfer protein to facilitate lipid transfer to and from intact viable cells in culture. Mouse peritoneal macrophages or J774 macrophages were preincubated with acetylated low density lipoprotein and [3H]oleate/albumin to promote the intracellular synthesis and accumulation of cholesteryl [3H]oleate and 3H-labeled triglyceride. ...

The present study was carried out to determine the ability of Acipenser baerii in utilizing carbohydrate (dextrin) as a non protein energy source substituted with animal oil. A total of 65 juveniles A. baerii with an initial mean weight of 689 ± 62 g were distributed in 15 fiber glass tanks. Five diets were formulated including 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of dextrin and fed  for 8 weeks. Fish were wei...

 The a im of th is paper was to study the effects w hey pro t e in c oat i ng on ch e m ic al a nd physic al properties of gut t ed K i l ka dur i ng f roz en stor a ge. Coating of Kilka has done by dipping in whey protein solution with different concentrations of 3, 7, 10 and 13%, for 1h. Then, after being packed in polyethylene dishes, they were covered in cellophane blanket and stored in -18...

Strains of the yeast genus Blastobotrys (subphylum Saccharomycotina) represent a valuable biotechnological resource for basic biochemistry research, single-cell protein, and heterologous protein production processes. Species this are dimorphic, non-pathogenic, thermotolerant, can assimilate variety hydrophilic hydrophobic substrates. These constitute oil platform in an emerging bio-based econom...

This study was conducted to determine the optimal dietary protein requirement for lemon fin barb hybrid fingerlings. Triplicate groups of fish (1.00 ± 0.05 g) were fed twice a day until apparent satiation with five isocaloric (16 kJ/g) diets containing varying protein level ranging from 20 to 40% for 60 days. Survival was not affected by the dietary protein level. The weight gain and specific g...

Lipid-protein complexes reconstituted from pig surfactant lipids and proteins were investigated for surface adsorption, minimum surface tension, stability index, and surface compressibility. Lipid constituents remained unchanged with procedures for the reconstitution. An apoprotein with a nominal molecular weight of 15,000 daltons significantly accelerated the lipid-protein complex to absorb th...
