Two hundred and sixteen day-old Ross-308 broiler chicks were allocated into 4 groups to study the impacts of different concentrations (0.0, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2%) of β-hydroxy-methyl butyrate calcium (β-HMB-Ca), on values of tri-iodothyronin (T3) and tetra-iodothyronin (T4) hormones, liver enzymes [aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)], uric acid, peroxide, malondial...

Commercial tablets of Rosuvastatin Calcium exhibit unsatisfactory dissolution profiles and, consequently, problems of absorption and poor bioavailability. Rosuvastatin Calcium (RST), a poorly water-soluble 3-hydroxy3-methyl glut aryl CoA (HMG-CoA) Reductase inhibitor through inclusion complexation with hydroxy propyl β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD). The aim of this work was to develop Rosuvastatin Oro...

Supplementation of the leucine metabolite β-hydroxy β-methyl butyrate (HMB) to sows during late gestation or lactation has been shown to improve piglet health, survival, and growth. This study aimed to investigate long-term effects of HMB supplementation to late-gestating sows on body characteristics of piglets at weaning. Sows were fed a standard lactation diet from day -15 relative to parturi...
