...Md. Shahidul Islam; Mitesh Indrajit Background/Aims: The present study was conducted to examine the antidiabetic effects of xylitol in a type 2 diabetes rat model. Methods: Six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: normal control (NC), diabetic control (DBC...

... and utilization in rats. Methods: Animals were divided into three groups of six rats each that were fed AIN-93G diet (control group), a vitamin A deficient diet and an iron and vitamin A deficient diet, respectively, for 57 days. The concentrations of hepatic and splenic iron, haemoglobin, red and white cells...

... not fully disclosed. In this study, female Wistar rats were assigned to control diet (AIN-93G) or Trans diet groups (5% IP-TFA) after gestation. The male offspring were classified and grouped as infant, weanling, and young adult (YA) rats (n = 10), and received the same control or Trans diets throughout...

... effects are poorly characterized, we compared the effects of chronic ad libitum access to high-isomaltulose and high-sucrose diets on glucose metabolism in rats. Methods: Adult male rats were offered 62% isomaltulose, sucrose or starch diets ad libitum for 26 (trial 1) or 56 (trial 2) days. After 2- to 3...

...B.H. Ali; A.A. Bashir The effect of fish oil on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity was investigated in rats. Gentamicin (80 mg/kg/day intramuscularly for 6 days) produced the typical pattern of nephrotoxicity as shown by increases in serum creatinine and urea concentrations, and urinary N-acetyl-β...

...Pulla Reddy; Belur R. Lokesh The antioxidant spice principles curcumin and eugenol when given by gavage lowered the carrageenan-induced edema in the foot pads of rats. This lowering effect was dependent on the concentration, the time gap between the administration of spice principles...

...Akira Ikeda; Michihiro Sugano The effect of dietary protein, either casein (CAS) or soybean protein (SOY), on the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) composition of liver microsomal phospholipids and eicosanoid production was compared in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats fed diets...

...William H. Thornton, Jr.; Ruth S. MacDonald The effects of corn oil and beef tallow on the proliferation of colon mucosal cells in rats were investigated. In protocol 1, rats were fed diets containing 12 or 38% kJ from fat supplied by either corn oil or beef tallow. Colon crypt column cell number...

...M. Hamdaoui; A. Hédhili; T. Doghri; B. Tritar The aim of our study was to examine the influence of tea decoction given ad libitum for 15 days on body weight gains and on nonheme iron, copper, zinc and magnesium concentrations in the blood from a semisynthetic diet provided to healthy rats. We have...

...M.A. Ortega; M.C. Núñez; M.D. Suárez; A. Gil; A. Sánchez-Pozo The impact of severe starvation and refeeding on the intestinal mucosa of rats of different ages has been studied in a diet-controlled model. Structural and functional alterations of the small intestinal mucosa were assessed by standard...

... excretion via egg shell in Japanese quails and on mobilization of calcium from the bone in rats was twice as high as the effect of the most potent naturally occurring vitamin D 3 metabolite 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 . In contrast, 24R-F-1,25(OH) 2 D 3 has less than 50% of the potency of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 . Due...

...W. Seidler; H. Bergner; O. Simon; H. Schmandke Studies were made in adult rats using an isotopic 15 N method. Whole egg, wheat, casein and Viciafaba protein isolate served as reference proteins. The diets were isonitrogenous and feed intake was adjusted to the maintenance energy level. Variations...

...P. Borel; D. Lairon; M. Senft; P. Garzino; H. Lafont Fasted adult rats were intragastrically intubated an emulsified test meal containing both 14 C-triolein and 3 H-cholesterol, in the presence or absence of either purified hemicellulose (xylan) or cellulose (both 10% of meal solids). After a 1...

...W.A. Rambeck; H. Weiser; W. Meier; H. Zucker The vitamin D 3 metabolites 1α,24 R ,25- and 1α,25S,26-trihydroxy vitamin D 3 and their combinations with 1α,25-dihydroxy vitamin D 3 were tested for antirachitic activity in rats, chicken and Japanese quails. The trihydroxylated compounds were found...

...J.S. Charnock; P.L. McLennan; M.Y. Abeywardena; W.F. Dryden Male rats were fed for 3–4 months (short-term) or 12–15 months (long-term) on a standard laboratory diet alone (control) or supplemented with sunflower seed oil (SSO, 12 % w/w) or sheep kidney fat (SKF, 12% w/w). Papillary muscles were...

...Hilary.J. Powers 21 -day-old female Norwegian Hooded rats were fed a riboflavin-deficient diet for 7 weeks. A control group consisted of individually weight-matched rats fed a complete diet. Reticulocytosis was induced by phlebotomy and heme synthesis measured in a reticulocyte-rich preparation...

...D. Ballester; P. Vera; J. King; O. Brunser; E. Yáñez The toxic effect of two levels of semisynthetic D-5-vinyl-2-thiooxazolidone (VTO) (0.006 and 0.0012%) was compared in rats with that of 0.005% of the same substance present in ‘detoxified’ rapeseed meal (DRSM). Diets containing 10% protein...
