background: ovarian cysts are among the diseases which cause reproductive failure and economic losses in dairy herds. high yelding dairy cattles are suseptable to reproductive failure caused by ovarian cysts, as a result of their exposure to stressful coditions during lactation. objectives: this study aimed to monitor metabolic profile tests in dairy cows with ovarian cysts in comparison with c...

background: obesity and metabolic syndrome are serious public health problems. it is suggested that high calcium diet can improve lipid profile, blood pressure and insulin resistance. methods: in this clinical trial, 75 healthy overweight or obese premenopausal women were randomly allocated to one of the following dietary regimens for 8 weeks: 1) a control diet 2) a calcium-supplemented diet co...

objective: patients with metabolic syndrome are prone to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. regarding the importance of nutritional factors in management of metabolic syndrome, this study was designed to evaluate the effects of dark chocolate consumption on serum lipid profile in patients with metabolic syndrome. materials and methods: in this randomized clinical trial, 114 patients with meta...

background: metabolic profiles have been used in efforts to predict pre parturient problems and fertility, to diagnose metabolic diseases, and to assess nutritional status in dairy cows. these profiles may help to confirm the diagnosis of sub clinical diseases, to be aware of possible causes of infertility in the herds, or to monitor improvement in herd animals. objectives: this study investiga...

background: information regarding the metabolic hormones in different metabolic states of high producing dairy cows can aid high producing herds to manage and resolve the metabolic and production problems. furthermore, it can be considered as a tool to evaluate metabolic status of dairy cows. herd managers can also evaluate the energy input-output relationships by assessing the metabolic profil...

Biochemical systems are commonly modelled by systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). A particular class of such models called S-systems have recently gained popularity in biochemical system modelling. The parameters of an S-system are usually estimated from time-course profiles. However, finding these estimates is a difficult computational problem. Moreover, although several methods ...
