Our objectives were to evaluate maternal body changes in response to dietary restriction or the increased nutrient requirement of fetal growth. In Exp. 1, 28 mature crossbred ewes (61.6 +/- 1.8 kg initial BW) were fed a pelleted forage-based diet to evaluate effects of pregnancy and nutrient restriction on visceral organ mass. Treatments were arranged in 2 x 3 factorially, with dietary restrict...

Ezetimibe is an approved drug for lowering plasma LDL (low-density lipoprotein) level via inhibition of cholesterol absorption. Derivatives ezetimibe reduce inflammatory response and oxidative stress. In the present study, we investigated effect dietary supplementation with in to environmental stressors found that increases resistance stress ultraviolet irradiation. also significantly extended ...

Objectives: To maintain proper development, it is recommended that children/adolescents focus more on increasing physical activity than dietary restriction when treating obesity. In other words, adults are better able to tolerate the reductions in fat-free body mass often occur trying lose fat mass. contrast, children and adolescents should avoid losses order ensure development. Therefore, redu...

Activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and its regulation by dietary restriction were studied in the stomach, small intestine and spleen of mice. ADA activity (U/mg protein) was highest in the stomach, followed by small intestine and spleen of mice on normal diet. The activity decreased significantly in the stomach (41%) and small intestine (45%) of 24 hr fasted mice, when compared to mice fed a...

I. White Carneau pigeons develop genetic atherosclerosis. The aorta shows intimal cushions at birth, cholesterol accumulation at 9 months of age and definite atherosclerotic lesions by 3 years of age. To determine whether these age-related arterial changes can be prevented by dietary restriction started early in life, ymonth-old pigeons were subjected to dietary restriction (40 % of ad lib. die...
