Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors among Scottish Youth: A Pilot InvestigationJ. D. Young, D. S. Buchan, L. Kilgore et al.Problem statement: Approximately 70% of the total ethnic minority population of Scotland is of South Asian ancestry, although relatively little is known about their cardiovascular risk profile. Determining the risk profiles of Scottish youth of South Asian ancestry may inform the creation of interventions to reduce risk and improve the quality of life in this population. Approach: The purpose of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 26 Jul 2012 · 7,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Polydextrose on Feces Consistency and Macronutrient Digestibility in Healthy DogsK. Vasupen, C. Yuangklang, A. C. Beynen, A. W.C. EinerhandProblem statement: There is evidence that the addition of 3% STA-LITE® polydextrose to a dry food reduces clinical signs of osteoarthritis in dogs. For the application of polydextrose as functional ingredient of dog foods, information as to its impact on the acceptance of food, feces consistency, fecal odor and digestibility of macronutrients and minerals is required. Approach: A feeding experiment … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 5 Oct 2011 · 8,520 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPalmitate-Induced Translocation of Caveolin-3 and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase in CardiomyocytesCatherine J. Knowles, Megan Dionne, Martina Cebova, Ilka M. PinzProblem statement: Palmitate is a known cardiac lipotoxin that blunts cardiomyocyte contractile function and induces apoptosis, likely via accumulation of the lipotoxic ceramide. Ceramide is a sphingolipid and localizes to caveolae, which are lined in the inner membrane leaflet by caveolin proteins. In this study, we investigated the effects of palmitate on caveolin proteins and on endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2011 · 7,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Rumen Acid Load on Postpartum Performance and Blood Metabolic Responses in Transition Holstein CowsSadjad Danesh Mesgaran, Alireza Vakili, Alireza Heravi Moosavi, Ghasem KoolabadiProblem statement: The transition period is the most stressful time in the production cycle of a dairy cow because of depressed feed intake, endocrine and metabolic changes at parturition. The aim was to determine the effect of rumen acid load on postpartum performance and metabolic parameters in transition Holstein cows. Approach: The Acidogenicity Values (AV) of the diets were determined … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 May 2011 · 7,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Garcinia Atroviridis on Oxidative Stress and Atherosclerotic Changes in Experimental Guinea PigsAdel. A. Amran, Zaiton Zakaria, Faizah Othman, Paden MoratProblem statement: Oxidative stress plays a major role in hypercholesterolemia induced atherosclerosis. Garcinia atroviridis has been shown to exhibit antioxidant properties. Approach: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Garcinia atroviridis on the oxidative stress in guinea pigs fed with high cholesterol diet. Twenty-four male Guinea pigs were divided into four groups. Group I served as control while … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEndothelial Dysfunction Induced by Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Fibrinolytic ActivityHussein F. SakrProblem statement: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the world's largest systemic and metabolic disease. Endothelin (ET) was first described as a peptidergic endothelium-derived constricting factor. Endothelin-1 is one of the endothelial factors that is overexpressed in cases of endothelial dysfunction. The fibrinolytic system is present in plasma with the degradation of fibrin polymers in blood clots. It is a proteolytic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Calcium Supplementation on Growth, Nutrient Digestibility and Fecal Lactobacilli in Dairy CalvesC. Yuangklang, C. Wachirapakorn, H.E. Mohamed et al.Problem statement: Based on earlier studies in veal calves and rats, the hypothesis tested was that high calcium intakes by ruminating dairy calves reduce fat digestibility, but do not affect growth performance due to enhanced colonization of the intestine with lactobacilli. Approach: In dairy calves that were fed on a combination of milk replacer, concentrate on grass hay, the effects … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,247 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Supplemental Fat to Low Metabolizable Energy Diets on Cholesterol and Triglyceride Contents of Broiler MeatMansour Rezaei, Atena MonfarediProblem statement: Modern diets high in Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) and low in Monounsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids are mostly blamed for the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Since dietary fatty acids are absorbed by monogastric animals and deposited in their tissues without significant modification, considerable potential exists for the manipulation of the fatty acid profile of poultry … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRamadan Fasting Diet Entailed a Lipid Metabolic Disorder Among Type 2 Diabetic Obese WomenMéghit Boumédiène Khaled, Slimane BelbraouetWe designed this study to assess the effect of diet during Ramadan fasting on body weight and on serum lipid components in type 2 diabetic obese women. During Ramadan of 2005, 89 diabetic women receiving oral treatment (BMI = 33.20±3.01 kg m-2), aged 52 (±5 years), were selected.
