BACKGROUND Former studies have shown that extract from American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) may possess certain antiproliferative effects on cancer cells. In this study, the chemical constituents of both untreated and heat-processed American ginseng and their antiproliferative activities on human breast cancer cells were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS American ginseng roots were steamed a...

Aims: The ratio of creatinine to cystatin C (Cre/CysC) has been proven be a predictor sarcopenia in patients with or without diabetes. Here, we investigated the predictive value Cre/CysC skeletal muscle composition and its correlations glucose disposal ability diabetic complications type 2 diabetes. Methods: index (SMI) mean attenuation (MMA) values 193 diabetes were obtained through analyse...

A homogeneous batch of dew retted hackled flax was divided into two portions. One was untreated and the other was steamed for 45 minutes at 125 degrees C in three pressure/vacuum cycles in an autoclave. Dust was collected when the two flaxes were separately processed by industrial doubler and stapler machines. From untreated flax 7.2 g of dust was collected per kilogram of flax after two proces...

The heat treatment of softwood (i.e. spruce, pine, fir, and larch) may result in significant colour changes. During this study Scots pine and spruce samples were steamed and analysed for their altered hue and lightness. Treatments included: 0 to 22 days of steaming time at a temperature range of 70 to 100°C. The outcome included a variety of colours between the initial hues and brownish tint. T...

Our objective was to measure the proximate, starch, amino acid, and mineral compositions of grains, grain co-products, and other carbohydrate sources with potential use in pet foods. Thirty-two samples from barley (barley flake, cut barley, ground pearled barley, malted barley, whole pearled barley, pearled barley flakes, and steamed rolled barley); oats (groats, ground oatmeal, ground steamed ...

A pest of stuffed museum specimen, Anthrenus scrophulariae is known as carpet beetle. It is a serious and destructive coleopteran insect to stuffed and preserved museum bird and mammal specimens. The larvae devoured the feather, hair and skin of stuffed animals. The stuffed animals became feather or hairless and ultimately destroyed. Food and feeding habits and development of larvae were evalua...

The present study was designed to evaluate whether feeding supplemental energy would improve the metabolic profile and alleviate some of the immunosuppression typically noted during the periparturient period in dairy cows with Johne's disease. Twelve dairy cows naturally infected with Mycobacterium paratuberculosis were fitted with rumen cannulas in late gestation and assigned to treatment grou...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mineral content, phenolic antioxidant activity, and soluble protein Lumi-lumi fish meal (Harpodon nehereus) treated with non-steamed for 30 min. results revealed that iron (Fe) content was significantly higher in steamed than treatment but not calcium (Ca). However, there a decrease minerals magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn) during process, w...

ABSTRACTAnemia is one of the major nutritional problems in Asia, including Indonesia. According to Rikesdas 2018 data, anemia young women (27.2%) higher than men (20.3%). The utilization that can overcome local shellfish contain protein, which anemia, while red beans protein and iron increase hemoglobin (Hb) levels body women. This study aims determine results organoleptic tests content bakpao ...
