A 56 days grow-out experiment with three protein levels (35, 40 and 45%) and three lipid levels (5, 10 and 15%) was conducted to evaluate the optimum protein and lipid ratio for Oriental River Prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense). Four hundred and five prawns, with mean (± SD) weight of 1.40 ± 0.04 g were distributed in 27 glass aquaria and were fed four times daily. Results showed that interaction...

background: hypertensive patients are highly susceptible to oxidizability. although hypertension is common among iranians, few data are available about lipid oxidation status in the involved people. the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum lipids levels and susceptibility of lipids to oxidation in hypertensive patients. materials and method: fasting serum lipids and ...

In order to find a prophylactic supplementation for individuals who are at risk of exposure to ionizing radiation, we attempted to evaluate the effect of Vitamin E (Vit-E), a biological free radical scavenger, on restoration of hepatic lipid peroxidation (LPO) and lipid profile (LP) changes induced by sublethal g- radiation in BALB/c mice. The concentrations of cholesterol and phospholipid were...

one of the simplest methods for short-term handling and storage of fish is the refrigeration in combination with dip treatments. this study was conducted to determine the effect of pre-storage α-tocopherol acetate dipping treatments on lipid stability of refrigerated rainbow trout fillets. trout fillets were dipped in α-tocopherol acetate solutions (200 and 500 mg kg-1 flesh) and subsequently s...

conclusions some other small studies have proved that statins were effective in regression of endometriosis implants and we have also proved that the levels of serum lipid profile was higher in patients suffering from endometriosis, perhaps higher levels of lipid profile has a significant etiologic role in pathogenesis of endometriosis. results we had 25 patients in endometriosis group and 50 i...

in this study, the energy reserves of prediapause and diapausing adult bugs were examined using colorimetric biochemical techniques to determine carbohydrates, lipids, glycogen, and protein content. to this end, 45-day-old bugs were obtained from three different sources: laboratory colony, cold-stored insects, or natural habitat. the results showed that prediapause males and females had signifi...

as sesame is a somewhat neglected crop, information concerning its response to salinity is lacking. the effects of nacl stress were studied on seven genotypes of sesamum indicum l. the 6-weeks-old sesame seedlings were treated with different nacl concentrations (0, 30, and 60 mm). the nacl caused significant decreases in fresh and dry mass of all genotypes; however responses of genotypes to the...

the purpose of the present survey was to determine the effects of the chitosan and atorvastatin on serum lipid profile changes and the influence of time on treatment process in cats. for the management of cholesterol induced hyperlipidemia, twenty-one healthy cats were randomly divided into three equal groups. group a (control) included seven cats that were fed with cholesterol powder (4 g/kg f...

results seminal plasma tac level in normospermic men was significantly higher than asthenoteratospermic men (p < 0.001) and oligasthenoteratospermic men (p < 0.001) and had posetive correlation with sperm count, motility and morphology. in contrast mda levels in normospermic men were significantly lower than in asthenoteratospermic men (p = 0.049) and oligoasthenoteratospermic men (p = 0.001) a...
