Lysozyme (25% in D2O, corn oil, and their emulsions (10% w/w oil/D2O solution) were examined by Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy. Emulsions showed three layers, namely, top oil, middle cream, and bottom aqueous layers. Raman spectral analysis revealed hydrophobic interactions involving both
BACKGROUND
Calcium and cholesterol play major roles in the formation of atherosclerosis. Whether severe atherosclerosis induced by co-administration of a mixture containing vitamin D2 (vit D2) and cholesterol can result in gastric hemorrhagic damage is unknown. Gastric oxidative stress and
This study aimed to evaluate the dietary lipid requirement and its effects on liver oxidative status and non-specific immune responses of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Purified diets with five dietary lipid levels (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%, fish oil/corn oil = 1:1) were each fed
Virgin olive oil (VOO) compared with fish oil (FO) and evening primrose oil (PO) on the ability of stimulated leukocytes to produce inflammatory mediators was investigated in rats. Weaned Wistar rats were fed a basal diet (BD) (2% by weight of corn oil) or diets containing 15% by weight of VOO, PO,
Hepatic vein thrombosis initiated by an intravenous injection of endotoxin (Salmonella typhosa, 0.3 mg/kg) resulted in an incidence of 78% in rats fed a butter-rich diet (group 1). On the other hand, no lesion could be produced in control animals fed corn oil (group 2) or standard chow (group 3). In
A total of 13 forty-day-old male Japanese quails had free access to a atherogenic diet containing 15% corn oil and 2% cholesterol or commercial basal diet for 3 months. Birds fed basal diet showed no significant intimal lesions. These birds had two types of cells, i.e. smooth muscle cell and
Using the catalytic mechanism of lysozyme as a paradigm for the mechanism of other enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of beta-1,4-glycosidic linkages, including chitinase, we have examined the effect of chemical modification with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) on the reaction
This study examined the effect of applying different bacterial inoculants on the fermentation and quality of corn silage. Corn plants were harvested at 35% DM, chopped, and ensiled in 20-L mini silos after application of (1) deionized water (CON) or inoculants containing (2) 1 × 10(5) cfu/g of
