Seasonal changes of buffalo colostrum: physicochemical parameters‚ fatty acids and cholesterol variation Abstract Background Colostrum has many beneficial effects on newborns due to its main compounds (proteins‚ fats‚ lactose‚ essential fatty acids‚ amino acids) as well as protective antibodies that confer to the body. The buffaloes are the second important species for milk production in the world after cows. The importance of the species is also conferred by a longer longevity‚ high dry content

Utilization of glucose by the muscle and liver cell cultures was enhanced by the water and n-hexane/isopropanol extract of the plant but not on adipose cells (Erasto et al.‚ 2009). In another study‚ oral intake of hot water V. amygdalina leaves extract (500 mg/kg) reduced blood glucose concentration of both normoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic rats induced by alloxan (Osinubi‚ 2007). 2.4.2.3 Antioxidant activity Several studies have shown that V. amygdalina possess antioxidant activity (Yeap et al

Introduction Mango‚ Mangifera indica belong to the family Anacardiaceae. It is one of the choicest fruit crops of tropical and sub-tropical regions. Mango is a very popular fruit‚ it is often referred to as ‘king of fruits’ in the tropical world (Singh et al. 2002)‚ but after consumed or used by the mango processing industry‚ mango seeds are generally only disposed of as waste (Puravankara et al. 2000; Kittiphoom 2012). On the other hand‚ enough scientific information is available regarding the nutritional

Everything you need to know about hydrocarbons INTRODUCTION: organic chemistry Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen. The element carbon has a special role in chemistry because it bonds with other carbon atoms to give a vast array of molecules. The varity of molecules is so great that we find organic compounds in many common products we use‚ such as gasoline‚ medicines‚ shampoos‚ plastic bottles‚ and perfumes. The food we eat is composed of different

Aromatic hydrocarbons are cyclic compounds whose structure is related to that of benzene‚ with six-electrons in a six-membered ring. For this experiment‚ hexane will be used as an example of saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes)‚ cyclohexene will be used as an unsaturated hydrocarbon (alkenes) and toluene as an aromatic hydrocarbon. As a precaution during these experiments‚ you should be extremely careful since
