The activity of chymosin, plasmin, and Lactococcus lactis enzymes (cell envelope proteinase, intracellular peptidases, and glycolytic enzymes) were determined after 5-min exposures to pressures up to 800 MPa. Plasmin was unaffected by any pressure treatment. Chymosin activity was unaffected up to 400 MPa and decreased at 500 to 800 MPa. Fifty percent of control chymosin activity remained after ...

Thirty-nine male Friesian calves, divided into three groups (L, S and SL), were reared until they were 147 to 175 days old. Group L calves remained preruminant until slaughter. Group S calves were weaned between 5 and 9 weeks of age and then received a concentrate feed and dehydrated fescue ad libitum. Besides this diet, group SL calves received a liquid supplement containing whey powder and so...

The efficacy and safety of rennin angiotensin system (RAS) inhibition for lowering blood pressure in older populations has been demonstrated in a number of clinical trials. Whether a patient's age influences the overall ability of these drugs to lower blood pressure and protect against progress of cardiovascular and kidney disease has been the focus of few clinical trials. Herein, the author's ...
