To confirm the cytotoxic effect of instant curry containing combined spices on cancer cells in vivo, cancer was induced by transplanting cancer cells to mice, and the development of cancer upon feeding pure curry were examined. The concentration of lipid peroxide in the groups transplanted with cancer cells which were fed with normal feed was 19.6 nM, and it was increased as the amount of pure ...

effects of different levels of dietary nucleotides (nt) were studied on muscle amino acid profile of rain bow trout with an average weight 11.35±0.32 over 8 weeks. this experimental was carried out in 700 l circular tanks with 40 fish per tank. nt was added to the diet at the rates of 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2%. fish were fed 5 times a day at a rate of 3-5% body weight. after 8 weeks of feed...

Various Coplanar Waveguide fed microstrip antennas with different ground planes and different radiating patches for broader bandwidth are proposed. The effect of changing periphery of the radiating patch from square to pentagon, pentagon to hexagon, hexagon to octagon and octagon to circle on resonance curve is studied. Similar study has been done by changing the shape of ground plane. The conf...

Sarcocystis neurona is the most important cause of a neurologic disease in horses, equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM). The complete life cycle of S. neurona, including the description of sarcocysts and intermediate hosts, has not been completed until now. Opossums (Didelphis spp.) are definitive hosts, and horses and other mammals are aberrant hosts. In the present study, laboratory-raise...

AIM The aim of the study was to investigate: a) the differential effect of the three main macronutrients on food intake, fat depots and serum leptin levels and b) the impact of sibutramine on the above parameters in rats fed ad libitum with three isocaloric diets. METHODS Three groups of male Wistar rats (n = 63) were fed with a high fat diet (HFD), a high carbohydrate diet (HCD) or a high pr...

Free radicals are one of the causes of chronic and degenerative diseases. Antioxidants can protect the progression of free radical mediated disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of Spirogyra neglecta (Hassall) Kützing in rats. The rats were divided into 5 groups. Group 1 served as control. Groups 2 and 3 were administered hot water extract of S. neglecta at 5...

During the last few decades, plant protein ingredients such as soya proteins have replaced fishmeal in the diets of aquacultured species. This may affect the requirement and metabolism of methionine as soya contains less methionine compared with fishmeal. To assess whether methionine limitation affects decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine availability and polyamine status, in the present study, ...

Ruminants are major contributorsof methane (CH4) production. Serious global efforts are required to reduce CH4 produced through their digestive tract, which isgenerally termed as enteric methane production (e.m.p). Feeding diets containing nitrates and/or sulphates could be used to reduce e.m.p. The study was conducted to evaluate the influence of varying levels of sodium nitrate (SN) with or w...
