The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of concentrations of forages and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on production of lactating dairy cows. Twelve Holstein cows were assigned randomly to replicated 4 × 4 Latin squares in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Diets were formulated containing low forage (LF; 41% of diet DM) or high forage (HF; 60% of die...

PURPOSE The effect of serum sodium concentration and tolvaptan treatment on length of stay (LOS) in patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF) was evaluated. METHODS Data for this study were derived from a large, international, Phase III trial of patients hospitalized for HF. Two distinct post hoc analyses were performed, analyzing the association between serum sodium concentration and ind...

A-FABP (adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein), one of the most abundant proteins in adipocytes, plays a key role in obesity-related insulin resistance, inflammation and atherosclerosis in animals. In the present study, we sought to investigate the association of A-FABP with HF (heart failure) in Chinese subjects. Serum A-FABP levels were measured in 252 HF patients and 261 age-, gender- and BMI...

in this study, absorption of high frequency radio waves in the ionospheric plasma have beeninvestigated. the wave equation was obtained in terms of ionospheric parameters. the numerical values ofthe absorption have been calculated for 4 mhz, 4.5 mhz and 5 mhz waves. the necessary parameters forcalculation have been obtained using an international reference ionosphere (iri) model. the altitudina...

The interaction of the components in Hf–Re–Al system was investigated by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy. isothermal section phase diagram at 1000 °C constructed full concentration range. A new ternary compound ~Hf5Re2Al2, isostructural Ti5Ga4 (hP18, P63/mcm), two extended solid solutions Hf(Re,Al)2 were found.

BACKGROUN/OBJECTIVES Although studies have revealed that black garlic is a potent antioxidant, its antioxidant mechanism remains unclear. The objective of this study was to determine black garlic's antioxidant activities and possible antioxidant mechanisms related to nuclear factor erythroid 2-like factor 2 (Nrf2)-Keap1 complex. METHODS/MATERIALS After four weeks of feeding rats with a normal...

The (Lower) Lake of Zurich provides an ideal system for studying the long-term impact of environmental change on deep-water hypoxia because of its sensitivity to climatic forcing, its history of eutrophication and subsequent oligotrophication, and the quality and length of its data set. Based on 39 years (1972-2010) of measured profiles of temperature, oxygen concentration and phosphorus (P) co...

High-fat (HF) diets can produce obesity and have been linked to the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and changes in the gut microbiome. To test the hypothesis that HF feeding increases certain predominant hind gut bacteria and development of steatohepatitis, C57BL/6 mice were fed an HF (45% energy) or low-fat (LF) (10% energy) diet for 10 wk. At the end of the feeding period, bod...
