the effects of monesin and propylene glycol on feed intake, milk production, and composition as well as some blood metabolites of 16 primiparous and multiparous holstein lactating cows (60±30 days in milk (dim), milk production of 33±3 kg/day) were evaluated. cows were experimentally in a arranged in a randomized complete block design of: 4 feeding treatments, and 2 blocks of either primiparous...

Association between Selected Body Composition, Blood Pressure, and Musculoskeletal Fitness in Nigerian Children

In a study with 52 healthy volunteers, the effect of different amounts of co3 fatty acids on the blood lipid composition was investigated. Doses of 1.4, 2.3, 4. 1, and 8.2 g of w3 fatty acids were administered to these subjects daily over a period of 4 wk. Total cholesterol, highdensity hipoprotein cholesterol, total triglycerides, and glucose were determined in blood serum and hemoglobin in wh...

[Purpose] This study assessed changes in body composition before and after dialysis in chronic hemodialysis patients and determined the relationships between various body composition parameters and blood lipid levels in these patients. [Subjects] The cross-sectional study included 19 dialysis outpatients (17 men and 2 women, aged 35-82 years). [Methods] Body mass index, body weight, percent bod...

It has recently been shown that the iron isotopic composition of blood differs between individuals and sexes, which is supposed to reflect individual differences in iron metabolism. We hypothesized that patients suffering from hereditary hemochromatosis would demonstrate alterations in the iron isotopic composition of blood due to persistent up-regulation of intestinal iron absorption. Blood fr...

The mechanical properties determine to a large extent the functioning of a blood clot. These properties depend on the composition of the clot and have been related to many diseases. However, the various involved components and their complex interactions make it difficult at this stage to fully understand and predict properties as a function of the components. Therefore, in this study, a constit...
