Groups of rats were fed isocaloric amounts of diets rich in starch, protein, or fat. After 7 days, activities of sucrase, maltase, lactase, alkaline phosphatase, L-phenylalanylglycine hydrolase, and L-leucyl-L-alanyl hydrolase were measured in the duodenal, jejunal, and ileal mucosa of fed rats. Peptide hydrolase and alkaline phosphatase activities were significantly higher in rats fed high-protein diets, particularly in the ileum. Disaccharidases were highest in rats fed high-starch diets, especially in jejunum; the lowest activities of peptide hydrolase were seen with this diet. The high-fat diet was generally associated with intermediate activities of most enzymes, except disaccharidases, which were lowest on this diet. The different macromolecular nutrients were associated with adaptive differences in intestinal enzyme activities, which were biologically appropriate and coordinated with similar known changes in pancreatic and other enzyme activities concerned with assimilation of the particular food. However, other less interpretable changes occurred, which may have been due to effects on pancreatic secretion or on the metabolism, growth, and differentiation of intestinal cells.

Background: Pomegranate (punicagranatum L, Punicaceae), is an edible fruit consumed around the world. The edible part of pomegranate is rich in compounds that possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The aim of this study is to investigate the antioxidant; anti-inflammatory and gingival wound healing effects of Punicagrantum L. seed extract oral supplementation in rabbit. Methods and Methods: Forty five male rabbits were divided into 3 groups, base line (5 rabbits) left without buccal gingival wound as( group 1),study group, 20 rabbits (group2) with buccal gingival wound treated with ethanolic extract of Punicagranatum L. seed extract and control, 20 rabbits (group 3) with buccal gingival wound only. Buccal gingival wounds were created on lower right central incisor and sutured removed after (7) days. Blood biopsies by cardiocentesis were collected at times (0, 3h, 1, 3 and 7days) for estimation of serum alkaline phosphatase activity, serum total proteins, and serum uric acid. Results: The results showed a significant increase in serum Alkaline phosphatase, total proteins and uric acid in all time intervals after buccal gingival wound, in rabbits receiving water, while their levels increased significantly only at time intervals of 3 hours and 1 day after gingival wound, in rabbits receiving pomegranate seed extraction. Conclusions: It has been concluded that oral Supplementation of pomegranate seed extract in rabbits can expedite the rate of healing of gingival wound

This study was designed to determine whether (1) protein type and (2) the dietary carbohydrate to lipid content affected daily energy intake, body weight and adiposity in rats receiving high-protein diets ad libitum over a 25 d period. Each of the ten groups (n 8) consumed ad libitum one of the diets described below. A normal protein diet (P14C56L30, containing whole milk protein) and nine high-protein diets were used. The composition of the high-protein diets varied in terms of two parameters: macronutrient composition and protein type. Three macronutrient compositions (P55C35L10, P55C15L30 and P55L45) combined with three protein types (Milk, Whey and βLac) allowed us to test nine diets. The results show that both protein type (βLac > Whey > Milk) and the carbohydrate to lipid ratio (P55L45>P55C35L10 or P55C15L30) modulated reductions in energy intake, body weight and adiposity in rats receiving high-protein diets ad libitum, when compared with rats fed a normal diet under the same conditions. By contrast, blood lipid profiles were mainly influenced by the carbohydrate to lipid ratio (P55C15L30>P55L45 or P55C35L10). Moreover, βLac protein was also the most efficient in tending to preserve lean body mass at the expense of fat mass, and improve blood metabolism hormones (insulin, leptin). Taken together, the present results show that whey-derived protein sources, and particularly β-lactoglobulin-enriched fraction, are of considerable value because of their ability to reduce both body weight gain and the adiposity index.

SUMMARYOne hundred and forty-four weanling Duroc barrows were individually fed to study effects of season (summer and winter), energy concentration of the diet (high and low), protein concentration (high and low), and orally administered hormones (none, diethylstilboestrol, and mefhyltestosterone) on performance and carcass characteristics of growing-finishing swine.In summer the rate of gain of pigs was 6% slower and yielded carcasses with 19% smaller loin-eye areas but 3% more lean cuts than in winter.Pigs fed on high-energy diets gained 13% faster, consumed 8% less feed daily and required 18% less feed per unit of weight gain than pigs fed on low-energy diets. Pigs fed on high-energy diets also had a dressing percentage 2·5 units higher and yielded carcasses 2% shorter, with 15% more backfat, than those fed on low-energy diets.Pigs fed on low-protein diets had a dressing percentage 1·6% higher and yielded carcasses with about 7% thicker backfat than pigs fed on high-protein diets. Dietary energy and protein concentrations interacted significantly in their effect on rate of gain. Pigs fed on low-energy, low-protein diets gained weight about 7% faster than pigs fed on low-energy, high-protein diets; however, pigs fed on high-energy, high-protein diets gained weight about 3% faster than pigs fed on high-energy, low-protein diets.The only significant effect of giving each pig about 2 mg of diethylstilboestrol (DES) per day was a 2% increase in weight of lean cuts. An average daily consumption of 20 mg methyltestosterone (MT) per pig decreased rate of gain, daily feed intake, dressing percentage and backfat thickness, but increased carcass length, area of the loin-eye and weight of lean cuts. Hormones and dietary energy levels interacted in their effects on rate of gain and feed efficiency. Pigs fed on low-energy diets with or without hormones gained weight at about the same rate, but high-energy diets increased rate of gain in pigs receiving no hormone or DES by about 17% and 21%, respectively, while having no effect in pigs receiving MT. Pigs fed on low-energy diets with MT required about 7% and 6% less feed per unit of gain than pigs fed on low-energy diets without hormone or with DES, respectively; whereas pigs fed on high-energy diets containing MT required about 10% and 14% more feed per unit of gain than did pigs fed on high-energy diets without hormone or with DES, respectively.

The aim of the present study was to determine whether a decrease in feed energy content would prevent extreme body weight (BW) gain and fatness in blue foxes in the late growing-furring period, without compromising pelt quality or pelt size. BW gain, body mass index (BMI), body condition score (BCS), and pelt characteristics were studied in 60 blue foxes divided into four equal-sized groups from mid-October until pelting (50 days). Experimental diets in were “high energy – high protein”, “high energy – low protein”, “low energy – high protein”, and “low energy – low protein”. High-energy diets contained 19.3 MJ metabolisable energy (ME) in kg dry matter (DM) and high-protein diets contained digestible crude protein (DCP) 20% of ME. Low-energy diets contained 16.3 MJ ME in kg DM and low-protein diets DCP 17% of ME. Feeding was gradually increased towards ad libitum. Reduced ME intake had no effect on pelt size or pelt quality. High-energy feeds resulted in heavier animals with higher BMI. However, the final BW exceeded 20 kg and BCS was “fat” or “extremely fat” in all groups.
