background: little is known about the effects of a low energy dense diet on weight maintenance and cardiovascular risks following a recent weight reduction. therefore, we assessed if weight maintenance, lipid profiles and glycemic control differ between low energy density diet and usual diet consumers following a recent weight reduction. method s: seventy patients with the history of weight red...

this study evaluated the suitability of canola oil as a source of supplemental dietary lipid for rainbow trout. triplicate groups of the 30 fingerlings held under identical culture conditions were fed twice daily by iso-nitrogenous, iso-calorific and iso-lipidic diets for eight weeks. experimental diets consisted of 30.3% protein, 18.7 kjg-1 energy and 16.7% lipid from fish oil (fo), canola oil...

we encountered a patient with methylmalonic aciduria associated with skin lesions resembling acrodermatitis enteropathica. this child was being fed with a low-protein diet when the skin disorder developed. a deficiency in plasma levels isoleucine, was confirmed. supplementation of a high-caloric, protein-rich diet led to a prompt improvement of skin lesions. we assume that in our patient the sk...

the objective of this paper was to study the responses on productive performance, carcass characteristics and plasma constituents of modern broiler chicks to administration of cinnamon powder (cp) in the diet. commercial breeds (ross 308) of broiler chicks examined from 1 to 42 days of age. this experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and four replicates (15...

this research was conducted to assess the effect of substituting corn for barley grain in diet on performance and reproductive characteristics of early lactating, holstein dairy cattle. a number of fifteen cows in their second lactation (26±11 dim) with 36.7±5.6 kg milk/d were investigated for 75 day (15 day for adaptation and 60 day for sampling) in a completely randomized design. the iso-ener...

this trial was conducted to investigate the effect of phospholipid on blood and serum factors in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) fed fat powder. phospholipid in two levels was added to 20 percent fat based on diet including 50% fat powder. control diet contained fish oil instead of fat powder and was lack of phospholipid. 150 juvenile rainbow trout with initial mean weight of 27.45±1.88g st...
