A maternal low-protein diet during gestation induces hepatic autophagy gene expression only in the female offspring Sprague-Dawley rats
Maternal protein restriction is associated with inducting of gene expression programs. Multiple stress-induced genes are known to be activated through eIF2α phosphorylation and induction of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), which also potentially play a role in autophagy related-genes …

Effect of pumpkin seed (cucurbita pepo) protein isolate on the antioxidant enzymes in ccl4-induced liver injury in low-protein fed rats
The effect of pumpkin seed (Cucurbita pepo) protein isolate on the activity levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LD), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) against carbon tetrachloride (CCU)-induced acute liver injury in low-protein fed rats were …

Effects of reduced dietary protein and supplemented rumen protected amino acids on the nitrogen efficiency of dairy cows
… cows are extremely inefficient at converting dietary nitrogen (N) to productive N. Approximately 25-30% of dietary N is used for milk protein while the remaining N is lost to the environment. According to National Research Council (NRC, 2001) recommendations, dairy cow rations are formulated …

The Effect of Dietary Fat Level on Tumor Development and Immunity in BALB/C Mice Fed Casein of Wheat Gluten as Protein and Challenged with Herpes Type 2-transformed Cells
<p>A high percentage of fat in the diet has been implicated through epidemiological studies in several human cancers. Studies in experimental animals have produced evidence that increasing the fat in the diet decreases the animal’s ability to restrict tumor development and growth. In previous work …

The effect of maternal nutrition on offspring gene regulation via epigenetic modulation
… kidney, skeletal muscle and adrenal gland following a restricted diet during gestation. These epigenetic events have also been shown to affect tumor suppressor loci in mammary gland cancer cells. However, it is not known how these tumor-suppressive genes are regulated by epigenetic changes in …

EFFECT OF PROTEASE SUPPLEMENTATION IN BROILER FEED ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE, CARCASS YIELD AND TOTAL NITROGEN RETENTION IN FECAL MATTER AND LITTER
… target average weight for the birds was 6.25lbs. Dietary treatments consisted of: treatment #1 positive control (PC) Pilgrim’s Standard Diet (Basal diet), treatment # 2 negative control (NC) Pilgrim’s Diet with Protease Matrix removed (only the amino acids’ credit – no energy credit), treatment # …

Fetal programming of renal morphology and function
… influences. In animals growth retarding diets or other insults, which have an impact on the development of cardiovascular functions, also appear to impact upon nephron number. In this study, the feeding of a 9% casein diet to pregnant rats, a mild protein restriction, reduced nephron …

Of Young Pigs, Valine and Sow's Milk
… the limiting order of amino acids (AA) in a low-protein diet for 10-kg pigs. Deletion of lys depressed performance to a greater extent than deletion of any other AA. Results indicated lys was first limiting and Trp, Thr, Met, and Val were second co-limiting. In the second project, 12 suckling …

The effect of protein intake on the excretion of vitamin B₆, 4-pyridoxic acid, and xanthurenic acid in preadolescent boys
The effect of protein intake on vitamin B<sub>6</sub> status was investigated in preadolescent boys. Twelve subjects rotated through a diet sequence containing daily intakes of 1.15 mg vitamin B<sub>6</sub> and 29, 54, or 84 rim protein. Total vitamin B<sub>6</sub> and 4-pyridoxic acid were …

The Role of Gut Microbiota Urease in the Host With Liver Disease
… options including antibiotics, lactulose, and a low protein diet (LPD) are complicated by issues such as side effects, concerns of safety and efficacy in long-term use, and poor adherence. Our goal is to develop a safe, durable, and efficacious treatment for HE through the inoculation of a …

TALLOW FOR LAYING HENS
Effects of tallow supplementation on dietary nutrient and minimal amino acid utilization in the laying hen were studied in two experiments. In the first experiment diets contained six levels of animal tallow ranging from 0 to 10%. Percent egg production and egg mass were not significantly affected …

Assessing The Impact of Camp Phever On Blood Phenylalanine Levels
… if individuals with this disease do not follow a low-protein diet. Camp PHEver is a weeklong summer camp that gives children with PKU an opportunity to obtain skills related to diet compliance, but also enhance their confidence, relationship development, and independence. Through learned …

Growth of Thoroughbreds fed Different Levels of Protein and Supplemented with Lysine and Threonine
Currently accepted optimum protein levels for growth in the horse may be reduced with amino acid supplementation. This study investigated the effects on growth and protein status of Thoroughbred foals offered a supplement with a typical CP level to a supplement that had a lower CP level fortified …

In the northern Australian rangelands, protein, rather than energy, is the major limiting nutrient for cattle in dry-season pastures with protein supplementation of breeding heifers an animal husbandry requirement. Few studies in cattle have specifically evaluated the effects of maternal …

Autophagy: activation, function and regulation by a protein restricted diet during pregnancy and lactation
Developmental protein restriction is associated with numerous diseases including obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, both in the mother and offspring. Recent intensive research efforts have focused on the mechanisms behind the effects of a maternal low protein diet on diseases in …
