A comparison of the nutrition of home-prepared and commercial diets for dogs
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The objective of this study was to compare the nutrition of home-prepared and commercial diets in dogs. In order to do this, weighed food records, laboratory analysis of food samples, and serum analyses were completed. The ...
Genotypic effects on bovine fetal ontogeny
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Thirty-six Angus and Brahman cows were subjected to an estrous synchronization program and mated by artificial insemination. Angus cows were mated to a single Angus sire, whereas Brahman cows were mated to two Brahman ...
Modulation of purified murine T cell subset activation by dietary n-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
n-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been shown to reduce inflammation in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The present studies sought to elucidate mechanisms whereby n-3 PUFAs downregulate T cell proliferation ...
The consequence of late-onset alcohol abuse in aged bone: a histomorhometric analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The objective of this experiment was to examine the effect of late-onset alcohol abuse on aged bone using the rat model. Thirty female Fischer 344 rats were separated by weights into one of four groups: baseline, alcohol-fed, ...
Development of a rapid method fluorescent biosenser to quantitate bioavailable methionine
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Nutrition is the key to optimizing performance and growth in animals. Amino acids are a component of nutrition that greatly influence growth and therefore must be at proper levels in the blood at all times. One of these ...
Improving vegetable preference and consumption among preschool children: evaluating results from an educational intervention using vegetable gardening
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
During a time of developing food acceptance patterns, preschool children fall short of meeting recommended intakes of vegetables, especially those implicated in reducing disease risk. An educational intervention was ...
Validation of a group 24-hour recall method for dietary assessment
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
A group 24-hour recall method developed by the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program of Texas was validated in a population of low-income female food service workers using unobtrusive meal observation as a validation ...
Parenting styles, peer influences, and adolescent cardiovascular disease risk factors
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Parenting and friendship styles were examined as indicators for obesity and risk of cardiovascular disease in 54 Texas adolescents. This study investigated the relationship between parental and peer influences on obesity ...
Isotope loss from exhaled moisture and correlation of multifrequency bioelectrical impedance to body fluid compartments measured by intravenous deuterium oxide and sodium bromide dilution in dogs
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Body composition analysis is important in assessing nutritional status in both health and disease. This study used deuterium oxide and sodium bromide to determine total body water and extracellular water, respectively. ...
Effect of docosahexaenoic acid on ras post-translational processing and localization in a transgenic mouse colonic cell line
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The acquisition of a chronically activated ras gene is a critical early step in colon cancer development, with membrane localization being a prerequisite for malignant transformation. Fish oil supplemented diets, containing ...
