the objective of this study was to determine the effects of hulled and hull-less barley grains’ chemical treatment on disappearance of dry matter (dm), starch and cncps carbohydrate fractions. for barley grain treatment, naoh, formaldehyde and urea were used at 35, 4 and 35 gr/kg dm respectively. three mature rams (one year old) of zel breed were rumen cannulated to calculate ruminal disappeara...

1. Rat thyroid lobes were incubated for various periods of time in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate containing [3H]leucine and either [1-14C]galactose or [1-14C]mannose. Radioactivity in soluble proteins was determined after their separation by sucrosegradient centrifugation. 2. The time-course of incorporation of label from [14C]mannose into soluble thyroid proteins was parallel to that observed for [...

Proximate and detergent fiber composition of de-oiled African olive (Canarium schweinfurthii) residue were assessed using standard laboratory analytical procedures. showed 17.58 ± 0.21% crude protein, 4.13 0.06% fat, 19.99 0.89% fiber, 8.11 0.33% ash 50.20 1.19% soluble carbohydrate. Detergent components 54.74±0.0745% NDF, 38.35 0.59% ADF, 14.37 0.68% ADL, 23.98 0.10% cellulose 16.40 0.13% hemi...

introduction: aloe vera compounds have inhibitory activity on fungi, bacteria, and viruses. this study examines the antibacterial activity of a. vera purified extracts including gel, boiled skin, boiled gel, and distilled extract against pathogenic bacteria, staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant s. aureus (mrsa), klebsiella pneumonia and pseudomonas aeruginosa were elucidated. method: th...

We report the antinociceptive activity, determined by the writhing, formalin and hot-plate tests in mice, of crude (F0/60), lectin and carbohydrate fractions isolated by ammonium sulfate precipitation (0 to 60%) from Bryothamnion seaforthii and B. triquetrum, species of red algae. Not only fraction F0/60 but also lectins from both species significantly inhibited acetic acid-induced abdominal co...

Mid infrared (IR), near infrared (NIR), and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were recorded on solid soil samples from three neighbouring sites with similar history but different current land use — namely, native podocarp forest, pasture land cleared from native forest, and exotic softwood plantation converted from improved pasture. Principal component analysis and projection to late...

INTRODUCTION Linkages between carbohydrates, obesity and cancer continue to demonstrate conflicting results. Evidence suggests inconclusive direct linkages between carbohydrates and specific cancers. Conversely, obesity has been strongly linked to a wide range of cancers. The purpose of the study is to explore linkages between carbohydrate intake and cancer types using a two-step approach. Firs...
