Specific monoclonal antibodies against embryonic chicken adipose tissue cell membranes and their application against developing adipocytes
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Use of anti-adipocyte monoclonal antibodies (MAb) for reduction of fat mass in chickens was investigated in two experiments. Reduction of adipose tissue mass was obtained only in Experiment II. In Experiment I, 132 fertilized ...
The effect of food restriction and simulated microgravity on the rat skeleton
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Bone loss commonly occurs during space flight, creating an increased risk for fractures. It is also known that undereating commonly occurs on space flight missions, and ingesting insufficient calories has been shown to ...
Effects of prenatal energy supplementation and prenatal ans prebreeding trace mineral/vitamin E supplementation on calf health and reproductive performance on beef cows
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Forty-two d prior to the start of the experiment, 67 multiparous cross-bred beef cows were assigned to one of two supplement groups based on body condition score (BCS). Moderate condition cows (BCS = 5.5 ± .10) received ...
Supplementation of DETA/NO attenuates cold stress induced pulmonary hypertension syndrome in broilers
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The anatomical and physiological structure of avians increases the broiler chicken's susceptibility to pulmonary hypertension syndrome (PHS). This has been a continual problem in the poultry industry costing millions of ...
Prolonged lipoprotein half-life: effect on oxidative stability and physical features of lipoprotein particles
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is responsible for two out of the three leading causes of death in the United States. Oxidatively modified apolipoprotein B-containing lipoprotein (apoB-LPs) are known to ...
Ground beef shelf life assessment as influenced by sodium lactate, sodium propionate, sodium diacetate, and soy protein concentrate
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In phase I all-beef and soy-added ground beef patties containing sodium lactate, sodium propionate, and sodium diacetate at various levels and combinations were stored for nine months at -10°C. Upon cooking, the addition ...
Development of decontamination procedures for beef trimmings
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Beef trimmings of 73/27 or 50/50 lean and fat content were obtained from a commercial plant. The trimmings were randomly assigned to four treatments: control, 4% lactic acid (LA), 4% lactic acid plus hot water (LA+HW), ...
Diet composition and performance of female collegiate soccer players
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Optimal nutrition for soccer athletes facilitates adaptation to the metabolic and energy demands of training and competition. Limited data have examined habitual dietary practices of female players, especially at the ...
The role of apolipoprotein VLDL-II in regulating the diameter of VLDLy
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The physiological function of each class of lipoproteins is dictated in part by the structural biology of the lipoprotein particle. Proteins embedded in the superficial phospholipid monolayer (apolipoproteins) facilitate ...
Improvement of nutritive value of guar meal through reduction of viscosity by enzyme supplementation
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Guar meal is a high protein by-product of guar gum production that contains a residual gum, galactomannan polysaccharide. The gum increases intestinal viscosity while decreasing nutrient absorption. Four experiments ...
