Book Nutrient Requirements of Laboratory Animals

Download or read book Nutrient Requirements of Laboratory Animals written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-02-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since the third edition of this indispensable reference was published, a great deal has been learned about the nutritional requirements of common laboratory species: rat, mouse, guinea pig, hamster, gerbil, and vole. The Fourth Revised Edition presents the current expert understanding of the lipid, carbohydrate, protein, mineral, vitamin, and other nutritional needs of these animals. The extensive use of tables provides easy access to a wealth of comprehensive data and resource information. The volume also provides an expanded background discussion of general dietary considerations. In addition to a more user-friendly organization, new features in this edition include: A significantly expanded section on dietary requirements for rats, reporting substantial new findings. A new section on nutrients that are not required but that may produce beneficial results. New information on growth and reproductive performance among the most commonly used strains of rats and mice and on several hamster species. An expanded discussion of diet formulation and preparationâ€"including sample diets of both purified and natural ingredients. New information on mineral deficiency and toxicity, including warning signs. This authoritative resource will be important to researchers, laboratory technicians, and manufacturers of laboratory animal feed.

Book Effect of Different Levels of Dietary Protein and Sex Hormones on Lipid Metabolism in Male Castrated Rats

Download or read book Effect of Different Levels of Dietary Protein and Sex Hormones on Lipid Metabolism in Male Castrated Rats written by Sharad Patel and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Male castrated rats treated with testosterone or estradiol were given a diet containing 9, 18, or 50 per cent protein. Total lipids, lipid classes and fatty acid composition of lipid classes were determined. Estradiol treated rats grew slower, smaller and consumed less diet. Their liver weights were larger when compared to their body weights. Moisture content of liver remained unaffected by sex hormones, but increased with the high level of protein in the diet. Both testosterone and estradiol affected lipid metabolism; in general, the estrogenic influence was more pronounced and more predictable. Estradiol administration increased total lipids, free and esterified cholesterol and phospholipids in serum. Liver triglyceride level was decreased and free fatty acids and phospholipids were increased. An effect of sex hormone on the percentage composition of serum and liver fatty acids was apparent. Estradiol dosed rats maintained higher proportions of myristic and strearic acids in the serum cholesterol esters than that of the other fatty acids. It also increased the level of stearic and oleic acids and decreased the level of myristic, palmitic and linoleic acids in serum phospholipids. Oleic acid concentration was increased while linoleic acid concentration was decreased in serum triglycerides of estradiol treated rats. The liver cholesterol ester fatty acid patterns remained unchanged by sex hormone treatement. Liver phospholipid fractions contained a lower percentage of oleic acid in estradiol treated groups. Testosterone and estradiol treated rats had a higher proportion of myristic, stearic and linoleic acids and lower proportion of oleic acid in liver triglycerides than did the control rats. Dietary content of protein did not change serum lipid values significantly. The high level of dietary protein decreased oleic acid concentration in liver phospholipids and triglycerides.

Book Calorie Restriction  Aging and Longevity

Download or read book Calorie Restriction Aging and Longevity written by Arthur V. Everitt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food or calorie restriction has been shown in many short-lived animals and the rhesus monkey to prolong life-span. Life-long nutrition studies are not possible in humans because of their long survival. Studies over two to six years in healthy adult humans have, however, shown that a 20% reduction in food or calorie intake slows many indices of normal and disease-related aging. Thus, it is widely believed that long-term reduction in calorie or food intake will delay the onset of age-related diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, and so prolong life. Over the last 20 or more years there has been a progressive rise in food intake in many countries of the world, accompanied by a rising incidence of obesity. Thus our increasing food and calorie intake has been linked to the rising incidence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in early adult life. It is accepted that overeating, accompanied by reduced physical exercise, will lead to more age-related diseases and shortening of life-span. The answer is to reduce our calorie intake, improve our diet, and exercise more. But calorie restriction is extremely difficult to maintain for long periods. How then can we solve this problem? Edited by a team of highly distinguished academics, this book provides the latest information on the beneficial effects of calorie restriction on health and life-span. This book brings us closer to an understanding at the molecular, cellular and whole organism level of the way forward.
