BRANCHED CHAIN FATTY ACIDS (BCFA) IN NATURE: FISH, FERMENTED FOODS, AND SEA LION VERNIX CASEOSA
Branched chain fatty acids (BCFA) are major components of the western food supply, constituting 500 mg per day mean intake in Americans mainly from dairy, beef, and other ruminant products, and a major component of the first solid meal of human fetuses. We sought to establish the degree to which …

Branched Chain Fatty Acid Additions to Diets Containing Corn Crop Residues
… feeding corn crop residues supplemented with branched-chain fatty acids, urea, molasses, corn steep liquor, soybean meal and corn gluten meal.

Impact of potato protein supplementation with dietary fermentable materials on immune measures in Sprague-Dawley rats
… protein (PP) increased both total short and branched chain fatty acids (SCFA, BCFA) concentrations. The effects of dietary protein were influenced by combination with dietary starch. The PP supplementation had different effects on some innate and adaptive immune measures between sexes. Diet …

Evaluating glucose-based carbohydrates for use in canine diets
… contain many essential nutrients including amino acids and minerals, and may provide a significant source of fiber. Because the chemical composition of grains varied greatly depending on their respective fractions (i.e., barley flake vs. malted barley vs. steamed rolled barley) and among grain …

Characterisation of the Microbial Community in Indoor Environments: a Chemical-Analytical Approach
… bacterial lipopolysaccharide (3-hydroxy fatty acids with 10-16 carbon atoms), gram-positive bacteria (branched-chain fatty acids with 15 and 17 carbon atoms), bacterial peptidoglycan (muramic acid), and fungal biomass (ergosterol). A hydrolysate of 13C-labelled cyanobacterial cells was …

Select novel carbohydrates affect glycemic and insulinemic response, energy value, and indices of gut health as measured using canine, avian, rodent, and in vitro model systems
… compared to the Control diet. Cecal branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA) concentrations were decreased by SFD and SCF, whereas Pectin increased BCFA concentrations. Supplementation of SFD and SCF did not have an effect on cecal microbial populations compared to the Control diet. Pectin …

Characterization of an extremely thermophilic, anaerobic sulphur-dependent archaebacterium
… In the presence of peptone, several amino acids, α-keto acids, glucose, lactose, casein, and starch stimulate growth. Sodium and sulphur are required for growth. Sodium can be replaced by lithium and sulphur by cystine and glutathione. Sodium is required for utilization of several amino …

Dietary supplementation of a fiber-prebiotic-gut health promoter blend in extruded diets fed to dogs
… for dry matter (DM), phenols and indoles, short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA), and microbiota. The data were analyzed using The MIXED procedure using SAS, version 9.4. Total DNA from fresh fecal samples was extracted using Mo-Bio PowerSoil kits, sequencing was …

Miscanthus grass as a novel functional fiber source in extruded feline diets
… the highest fecal concentrations of total short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), acetate, and propionate (P < 0.05), while butyrate concentrations were similar among all treatments (P > 0.05). Total branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA), isobutyrate, and isovalerate concentrations were higher for the MF+TP …

Nutritional evaluation of raw meat and whole prey diets for domestic and exotic cats
… fecal score, fecal volume, and fecal short- and branched-chain fatty acids, and ammonia concentrations compared to cats fed diets containing cellulose. In the first study of our third aim, we observed that when comparing apparent total tract OM digestibilities in traditional canned (86 to 87%) …

Effects of yeast products on immune response and intestinal health of dogs and mice
… fecal fermentative end-products, including short-chain fatty acids, branched-chain fatty acids, indole, and ammonia. Total white blood cell counts were decreased (P < 0.05) by SCFP. The percentage of NK cells and antigen-presenting cells were not altered by SCFP. However, when comparing control …

Avocado meal: A novel dietary fiber source in feline and canine diets
… not compete directly with the human food supply chain. Many by-products from the human food processing industry are under-utilized or destroyed and may be suitable ingredients for the pet food industry. Avocado meal, the ground and dried defatted pulp, seed, and skin after avocado oil processing, …

THE ROLE OF ALPHA OXIDATION IN LIPID METABOLISM
… research, it has been said that both these odd chain fatty acids are biomarkers of their dietary intake and are significantly correlated to dietary ruminant fat intake. However, there are profound studies that show the contrary where they do not display this biomarker correlation. Additionally, …
