It was hypothesized that supplementation of an oat-extracted mixed-linkage (1 → 3), (1 → 4)-β-d-glucan (β-glucans) to a wheat-based diet may beneficially mitigate manure odor and ammonia emissions associated with intensive pig production, without depressing nutrient digestibility as has been observed with oat-based diets. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary β-glucan...

The tuberculosis treatment control program is constrained by the outbreak of TB that resistant to anti-tuberculosis drugs (OAT), especially multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Confirmation drug resistance really needs be done in each area considering there are variations phenotypes and genotypes region through laboratory tests such as molecular biology tests. Aim study determine prevalence Mycoba...

The present study determined an association between idiopathic sperm disorders in a local Pakistani infertile male population and the MTHFR C677T polymorphism. After ruling out non genetic factors, a total of 437 idiopathic infertile men including 57 azoospermic, 66 oligospermic, 44 asthenozoospermic, 29 teratozoospermic, 20 oligoasthenospermic and 221 infertile normospermic men were recruited....

OBJECTIVES To identify factors associated with Opioid Agonist Treatment (OAT) satisfaction and to determine whether these relationships are gender specific. METHODS This study was based on data collected in a cross-sectional study among long-term opioid-dependent individuals (n = 160; 46.3% women). Participants completed the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire in reference to OAT episodes. Soci...

terol (Davidson et al., 1991; Klopfenstein and Hoseney, 1987). Oat (Avena sativa L.) -glucan lowers serum cholesterol in hu-Glucan is a cell wall polysaccharide found in seeds mans. Development of oat cultivars with greater groat (caryopsis) -glucan content would increase the nutritional and economic value of the Gramineae (Stinard and Nevins, 1980; Nevins et of the crop. The objectives of this...

Gyrate atrophy is a hereditary chorioretinal degeneration associated with a deficiency of ornithine aminotransferase (OAT). By means of a complementary DNA clone encoding human OAT, the OAT gene sequences were mapped by somatic cell hybrids and in situ hybridization to human chromosome regions 10q26 and Xp11.2. A review of 80 biochemically confirmed cases of gyrate atrophy confirmed the autosom...

Oat, a rich source of soluble fiber, was considered to have a possible preventive effect on the progression of diabetic nephropathy. The present study aimed to assess this preventive activity in a rat model of diabetic nephropathy. Adult Wister rats were injected by streptozotocin (65 mg/kg). Animals were fed with normal diet or with a diet containing 20% oat (W/W) for 21 weeks. At the end of 2...

Even though oats (Avena spp.) have the capacity to produce numerous compounds with potential act antagonistically against plant pathogens, studies on genotypic effect of this crop focusing their nematicidal activity are limited. The objective study was verify aqueous extracts prepared biomass oat genotypes, hatching second-stage juveniles root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne javanica and Meloidogyn...

A variant of ornithine aminotransferase (OAT, EC 2.6.1.13) has been detected in an offspring of a male mouse treated with ethylnitrosourea. The evidence presented to support the identification of the protein variant (ENU 2) as altered OAT includes (a) a corresponding 50% decrease in the abundance of a protein, located one charge unit basic to the variant, which comigrates on two-dimensional gel...
