Absorption and Retention of Trace Minerals in Adult Horses
Professional Animal Scientist ; Abstract Absorption and retention of Cu, Mn, and Zn were compared when feeding diets supplemented with oxide, sulfate, or organic-chelated forms of the minerals. Six mature Miniature Horses were used in the replicated 3 3 Latin square-designed experiment. The experiment was conducted in three 17-d
Cotton leaf age, epicuticular wax, and nitrogen-15 absorption.
Crop Science ; The N requirement of cotton plants is high, especially during the reproductive phase (Thompson et al., 1976) when bolls import large amounts of N from the leaves (Zhu and Oosterhuis, 1992). This causes a decline in leaf physiological activity accompanied by leaf senescence (Wullschleger and
A pharmacokinetic study of peritoneal absorption of glucose and alanine in rats: Nutritional implications
JPEN, Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition ; J.M. MORAN, PHD, G. MAHEDERO, PHD, J. SALAS, MD PHD,J.M. RIBEIRO, MD, PHD; E.MARINO, MD, PHD; AND L.M. VINAGRE, MD, PHD* ABSTRACT. Background. The aim of this work was to study the serum bioavailability of glucose and alanine after bolus injection into the peritoneal cavity in Wistar rats and to
Phosphatidylcholine inhibits and lysophosphatidylcholine enhances the lymphatic absorption of (alpha)-tocopherol in adult rats
The Journal of Nutrition ; Phosphatidylcholine Inhibits and Lysophosphatidylcholine Enhances the Lymphatic Absorption of a-Tocopherol in Adult Rats 1 ABSTRACT This study was conducted to compare the effects of enterally infused phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) on the lymphatic absorption of
Sodium Cromoglycate Inhibits Absorption of the Major Soybean Allergen, Gly m Bd 30K, in Mice and Human Intestinal Caco-2 Cells1
The Journal of Nutrition ; Abstract Our previous data showed that Gly m Bd 30K was absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and circulated in blood in mice. This study was conducted to determine the mechanism and identify the inhibitor of such absorption. Using sandwich ELISA and immunoblotting, we found that intact Gly m Bd
Absorption and conversion of 11,12-(3)H-(beta)-carotene to vitamin A in Sprague-Dawley rats of different vitamin A status
The Journal of Nutrition ; Nutrient Metabolism Absorption and Conversion of 11,12-^sup 3^H-beta-Carotene to Vitamin A in Sprague-Dawley Rats of Different Vitamin A Status1,2 ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the bioavailability and bioconversion to vitamin A of a single oral dose in oil or an aqueous dispersion
Food Content, Processing, Absorption and Metabolism of Onion Flavonoids
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition ; The question as to how far the development of chronic diseases in humans depends on diet still remains open. Simultaneously, epidemiological studies suggest the consumption of a flavonoids rich diet might decrease the risk of degenerative changes and certain diseases. The intake of this group of
Enteral Administration of Soybean Phosphatidylcholine Enhances the Lymphatic Absorption of Lycopene, but Reduces That of [alpha]-Tocopherol in Rats
The Journal of Nutrition ; ABSTRACT Dietary phosphatidylcholine (PC) increases the lymphatic absorption of triglyceride (TG). This result suggests that dietary PC might also enhance the absorption of other fat-soluble nutrients. We examined the effects of PC on lycopene and [alpha]-tocopherol absorption in male rats fitted
C-trinexapac-ethyl absorption and translocation in Kentucky bluegrass.
Crop Science ; Trinexapac Ethyl is a foliar absorbed cyclohexanedione plant growth regulator. Leaf blades come into more direct contact with the spray droplets than do other tissues. Specificity for uptake of trinexapac-ethyl among foliar sites is unknown. Barrett and Bartuska (1982) found the stem, rather than
Colonic digestion and absorption of energy from carbohydrates and medium-chain fat in small bowel failure
JPEN, Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition ; ABSTRACT. Gut function and the degree of intestinal insufficiency or failure in short bowel patients can be quantified with respect to wet weight and energy absorption by the use of balance studies. This enables the physician to distinguish patients with extreme intestinal failure inconsistent with
