y-氨基丁酸和维生素E对AA肉鸡胸肌生长的影响

目的：研究y-氨基丁酸（GABA）对肉鸡胸肌生长的影响,并进一步探讨y-氨基丁酸（GABA）和维生素E（VE）联合应用时是否具有协同作用。方法：试验将300只鸡随机分为6个试验组,每组50羽。其中试验I组为对照组,试验Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ组日粮中分别添加25mg／kg、50mg／kg、75mg／kg的GABA,试验V、Ⅵ组日粮中分别添加50rag／kgGABA＋50mg／kgVE和50mg／kgGABA＋100mg／kgVE。在21日龄和42日龄分剐采样,显微镜下测算肌纤维直径。结论：在日粮中添加GABA对肉仔鸡体重和胸肌生长有一定的影响,且具有一定的剂量依赖性,其中以中剂量（50mg／kg）的GABA应用效果最佳。日粮中添加25mg／kg的GABA可以显著提高21日龄肉鸡胸肌肌纤维直径,促进早期肌肉生长,而一定剂量GABA（50rag／kg）与VE（50-100mg／kg）联合应用可显著降低42日龄胸肌肌纤维直径,进而改善肉品质。

饲料中添加不同类型Vc对团头鲂幼鱼生长的影响

在团头鲂幼鱼饲料中添加两种不同类型Vc:维生素C多聚磷酸酯和动力C进行养殖试验.结果表明,团头鲂的生长速度随着Vc的添加量增加而上升;饲料系数随着Vc的添加量增加而降低;团头鲂幼鱼饲料中LAPP添加量应在400mg/kg以上;动力C最佳添加量宜在300mg/kg.添加LAPP组的团头鲂在增重率及饲料系数方面效果最佳.     

Effects of different cooking methods on health-promoting compounds of broccoli

The effects of five domestic cooking methods, including steaming, microwaving, boiling, stir-frying, and stir-frying followed by boiling (stir-frying/boiling), on the nutrients and health-promoting compounds of broccoli were investigated. The results show that all cooking treatments, except steaming, caused significant losses of chlorophyll and vitamin C and significant decreases of total soluble proteins and soluble sugars. Total aliphatic and indole glucosinolates were significantly modified by all cooking treatments but not by steaming. In general, the steaming led to the lowest loss of total glucosinolates, while stir-frying and stir-frying/boiling presented the highest loss. Stir-frying and stir-frying/boiling, the two most popular methods for most homemade dishes in China, cause great losses of chlorophyll, soluble protein, soluble sugar, vitamin C, and glucosinolates, but the steaming method appears the best in retention of the nutrients in cooking broccoli.

Remediation of Cr(VI) in solution using vitamin C

INTRODUCTION Chromium is a commonly identified soils andgroundwater contaminant. Cr(VI) is toxic, carcino-genic, and has great subsurface mobility. In contrast,Cr(III) is relatively non-toxic and immobile. Muchresearch focused on the remediation of Cr(VI) such asadsorption by zeolites (Bowman, 2003) or silicas(Hideaki et al., 2002), chemical reduction by ferrousiron (Buerge and Hug, 1999; Fendorf and Li, 1996) orzero-valent iron (Powell and Puls, 1997; Alowitz andScherer, 2002), b…     

Effect of Vitamin B<Subscript>12</Subscript> and Folate on Homocysteine levels in colorectal cancer

Folate and cobalamin (Vitamin B₁₂) are two essential micronutrients involved in one-carbon metabolism, which affects heart disease, neural tube defects and cancer. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, the key enzyme involved in one carbon metabolism produces methyl tetrahydrofolate from methylene tetrahydrofolate, which in turn donates methyl group to homocysteine to generate methionine. There exist two common low function polymorphic variants of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene involving nucleotides 677 C→T and 1298 A→C, which are associated with hyperhomocysteinemia. These polymorphisms are also linked with increased risk for certain cancers such as breast cancer and at the same time providing a protective effect on colorectal cancer. In this case control study, we have evaluated levels of folic acid, vitamin B₁₂ and homocysteine in patients with colorectal cancer. Folate and homocysteine levels did not differ significantly between the two groups; however an increasing trend was noticed with increase in homocysteine levels. Vitamin B₁₂ levels were increased in cases compared to control group.     

Vitamin a status in children with diarrhoea

Vitamin A status was measured in 50 pre-school children with acute and persistent diarrhoea. It was measured by (a) Fluorometric micromethod and (b) Conjunctival impression cytology (CIC). The results were compared with 25 normal children. Vitamin A status was lower in children with persistent diarrhoea whereas the results were comparable between the children with acute diarrhoea and control subjects.     

维生素B12在玻碳电极上的电化学行为研究

在0．1mol／LHAc—NaAc缓冲溶液(pH=4．54)中，用循环伏安法可得到维生素B12的两个还原峰。峰电位EP1=-0．458V，EP2=-0．831V(vs．SCE)。实验表明，维生素B12在玻碳电极上的电极过程为一受吸附控制的不可逆过程。测得还原峰的电子转移系数为0．3，标准速率常数为ks=2．40s^-1。用该法测定了维生素B12针剂中维生素B12的含量，结果与标示含量相吻合。     

Evaluation of antioxidant profile and activity of amalaki (Emblica officinalis), spirulina and wheat grass

Aqueous and alcoholic extracts of amalki (Emblica officinalis), spirulina and wheatgrass were prepared and analyzed for antioxidant vitamin content (vitamin C and E), total phenolic compounds. Antioxidant status, reducing power and effect on glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity were evaluated in vitro. Vitamin C content of crude amalaki powder was found to be 5.38 mg/g, while very less amount 0.22 mg/g was detected in wheat grass. Amalki was rich in vitamin E like activity, total phenolic content, reducing power and antioxidant activity. Total antioxidant activity of aqueous extract of amalki, spirulina and wheat grass at 1mg/ml concentration were 7.78, 1.33 and 0.278 mmol/l respectively. At similar concentrations the total antioxidant activity of alcoholic extract of amalaki, spirulina and wheat grass was 6.67, 1.73 and 0.380 mmol/l respectively. Amalki was also found to be rich source of phenolic compounds (241mg/g gallic acid equivalent). Alcoholic extract of wheat grass showed 50 % inhibition in FeCl₂- ascorbic acid induced lipid peroxidation of rat liver homogenates in vitro. Both aqueous and alcoholic extracts of amalaki inhibited activity of rat liver glutathione S-transferase (GST) in vitro in dose dependant manner. Since GST acts as powerful drug metabolizing enzyme its inhibition by amalaki offers possibility of its use for lowering therapeutic dose of herbal preparations. The aqueous extracts of both amalki and spirulina also showed protection against t-BOOH induced cytotoxicity and production of ROS in cultured C₆ glial cells.
