objective: zinc is the second main element in the body after iron. its importance in pregnancy is related to role in dna and protein synthesis and consequently the necessity of its availability for the appropriate growth and development of the fetus and neonate. the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of zinc supplement on fetal outcomes (height, weight, head and chest circumference ...

This study examined the traditional (single and multivitamin/mineral supplements) and nontraditional supplement (herbals, botanicals, and other biologic and nutrient supplements) use by female athletes. Frequency, reasons for use, and sources of supplement information were assessed with a self-report questionnaire. Participants were 162 collegiate female varsity athletes. More than half of all ...

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of increasing supplement protein concentration on performance and forage intake of beef cows and forage utilization of steers consuming stockpiled bermudagrass forage. Bermudagrass pastures were fertilized with 56 kg of N/ha in late August. Grazing was initiated during early November and continued through the end of January each year. Treatmen...

The binding of a popular food supplement and well-known antioxidant, dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid (DHLA) to human serum albumin (HSA) was characterised. monitored by several spectroscopic methods together with the molecular docking approach. HSA able bind DHLA moderate affinity, 1.00?0.05?104 M-1. Spectroscopic data demonstrated that preferential site for on is IIA (Sudlow I). Both experimental an...

the effect of protein supplementation on athletic performance and hormonal changes was examined in 32 experienced collegiate strength/power athletes participating in a 12-week resistance training program. method: subjects were randomly assigned to either a protein supplement (pr; n = 22) or a placebo (pl; n = 10) group. during each testing session subjects were assessed for strength (one repet...

Many metrics, including metabolic profiles, have been used to analyze cell health and optimize productivity. In this study, we investigated the ability of a lipid supplement to increase protein yield. At a concentration of 1% (v/v) the lipid supplement caused a significant increase in protein titer (1118 ± 65.4 ng 10(5) cells(- 1) days(- 1)) when compared to cultures grown in the absence of sup...

In two consecutive years, primi- and multiparous, spring-calving Hereford and Hereford x Angus cows (n = 32, yr 1; n = 42, yr 2) were used to determine the effects of supplements and lactational status on forage intake, digestibility, and energy intake. Cows were randomly alloted to treatments after being blocked by age, breed, and weight. Supplements fed during gestation provided .55 kg/d of C...

Feeding shelled corn as the primary supplement in cracked dry form or ground high moisture form to grazing cows was studied in an experiment using 32 cows in late lactation. Each of the two forms of corn accounted for 74.7% of the concentrate supplement, which was fed at 9 kg/d (DM). The experiment was 13 wk, during which cows grazed permanent native pasture containing mostly grasses and some c...

cottonseed is considered among most important crops. it contains about 26 percent oil that ‎in used for vegetable oil production. after oil extraction, the remaining part of the seed know as ‎cottonseed cake with 45 percent protein is routinely used as a protein supplement in feed ‎rations for livestock and less for food use due to presence of gossypol, a toxic constituent of ‎cottonseed.‎ in t...
