The present study examined the effects of Vitacel raw fiber on great sturgeon (Huso huso) immunocompetent cell population size including lymphocyte and neutrophil populations and lysozyme activity after oral administration of the feed and Vitacel at 1.3% of the feed for 90 days. Generally, a significant increase was seen in the neutrophil count of fish receiving Vitacel as compared to the contr...

The production technology of powder cellulose (Arbocel) and microcrystaline cellulose (Vivapur) and their application in the composition of direct compression tablet mass was provided. The function of silicified microcrystaline cellulose type Prosolv in the direct compression process of dry plant extract was discussed. An analysis of the chemical structure of cellulose fiber (Vitacel) enabled d...

The comparative study of food fibers preparations (“Vitacel” – wheat fiber, beet fibers, calcium alginate, TIPRO 601 – native collagen protein, pork rin d) in a chronic biological experiment has shown that none of them had cumulative toxic effect, and possessed a low level of food sensibilization. Calcium alginate, native collagen protein and pork rind help to increase calcium content in bones ...

This paper deals with the use of tetrabutylammonium fluoride/dimethylsulfoxide (TBAF/DMSO) to characterize the molar mass distribution of non-derivatized cellulosic samples by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Different cellulose samples with various average degree of polymerization (DP) were first solubilized in this solvent system, with increasing TBAF rates, and then analyzed by SEC coupl...

The effect of the lignin:cellulose ratio (LCR) on intestinal morphology and microbial activity should be described. A pelleted feed was given ad libitum (CF 17.0 %; CP 15.4%; CL 3.4% DM). Supplementation of Arbocel (23.2% ADL and 71.1% ADF in DM) and Vitacel (0.1% ADL and 80.5% ADF in DM; Rettenmaier GmbH. Germany) in alternating parts (0-2-4-6-8% each) was practiced. Therefore the amount of AD...

BACKGROUND Procaine is a controversial substance which has been used for "antiageing" effects including cognitive improvement for more than 50 years.Preparations which contain procaine as a component are claimed to prevent, reverse and interrupt dementia. Several products are widely promoted and can be purchased "over the counter" outside the US and via the Internet. Procaine preparations are s...
