Preruminant calves bearing indwelling catheters in the hepatic artery, the portal and the hepatic veins were fed with two kinds of diets, a conventional curdled milk diet and a milk diet which was uncurdled in the ahomasum. Measurements of plasma cortisol in blood sampled regularly during the 24 hr of the day indicated that with curdled milk, cortisol concentrations were significantly higher than with uncurdled milk. Nycthemeral changes were characterized by high values before meals and by postprandial decreases. Between meals, several peak values were observed and in the night a regular increase occurred. With both kinds of meals, cortisol evolutions were similar though peak values were higher with the curdled milk. 相似文献

Intestinal and hepatic catabolism of cortisol and aldosterone were studied in the calf using blood samples from the mesenteric artery and portal and hepatic veins collected over 24 h, the hepatic blood flow being continuously recorded during this period. The total hepatic blood flow remained broadly constant over the 24 h, although meals were followed by decreasing flow in the portal vein and by increasing flow in the hepatic artery. The intestinal tract catabolizes cortisol as intensively as the liver (both 13% of cortisol reaching the organ). The part played by the gut and the liver in the catabolism of aldosterone were also equivalent (both 30% of aldosterone reaching the organ). This 24-h study demonstrated that a constant ratio existed between secretion and catabolism of cortisol while the hepatic balance of aldosterone seemed to be modified during the night. 相似文献

Growth, body composition and hepatic tyrosine aminotransferase activity in cortisol-fed channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus Rafinesque 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Metabolic consequences of chronic elevation of cortisol in the diet of yearling channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus , were studied. Cortisol was incorporated into the diet in concentrations of 1, 10, 50 and 100 μg/g of food. This diet was offered at 3% of the body weight per day for 10 weeks. Fish were individually weighed and measured at 2-week intervals and feeding rates were adjusted. Body weight, liposomatic index and condition factor were significantly lower and food conversion was significantly higher in fish fed 50 or 100 μng cortisol/g of food when compared with controls. The hepatosomatic index of fish fed cortisol at the rate of 100 μg/g of food decreased significantly. Specific activity of hepatic tyrosine aminotransferase was significantly higher at the two highest cortisol doses. Long-term cortisol administration can reduce growth and condition factor by activating gluconeogenic mechanisms in which lipids and amino acids, rather than carbohydrates, are used for energy production. The metabolic effects of exogenous cortisol in this study offer an explanation for the decreased growth of fish under conditions that activate the secretion of endogenous cortisol. 相似文献

Western-type diets can induce obesity and related conditions such as dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. We evaluated the effects of milk sphingomyelin (SM) and egg SM on diet-induced obesity, the development of hepatic steatosis and adipose inflammation in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat, cholesterol-enriched diet for 10 weeks. Mice were fed a low-fat diet (10% kcal from fat) (n=10), a high-fat diet (60% kcal from fat) (HFD, n=14) or a high-fat diet modified to contain either 0.1% (w/w) milk SM (n=14) or 0.1% (w/w) egg SM (n=14). After 10 weeks, egg SM ameliorated weight gain, hypercholesterolemia and hyperglycemia induced by HFD. Both egg SM and milk SM attenuated hepatic steatosis development, with significantly lower hepatic triglycerides (TGs) and cholesterol relative to HFD. This reduction in hepatic steatosis was stronger with egg SM supplementation relative to milk SM. Reductions in hepatic TGs observed with dietary SM were associated with lower hepatic mRNA expression of PPARγ-related genes: Scd1 and Pparg2 in both SM groups, and Cd36 and Fabp4 with egg SM. Egg SM and, to a lesser extent, milk SM reduced inflammation and markers of macrophage infiltration in adipose tissue. Egg SM also reduced skeletal muscle TG content compared to HFD. Overall, the current study provides evidence of dietary SM improving metabolic complications associated with diet-induced obesity in mice. Further research is warranted to understand the differences in bioactivity observed between egg and milk SM. 相似文献

Feeding a high concentrate (HC) diet is a widely used strategy for supporting high milk yields, yet it may cause certain metabolic disorders. This study aimed to investigate the changes in milk production and hepatic metabolism in goats fed different proportions of concentrate in the diet for 10 weeks. In total, 12 mid-lactating goats were randomly assigned to an HC diet (65% concentrate of dry matter, n=6) or a low concentrate (LC) diet (35% concentrate of dry matter, n=6). Compared with LC, HC goats produced greater amounts of volatile fatty acids and produced more milk and milk lactose, fat and protein (P<0.01). HC goats showed a greater concentration of ATP, NAD, plasma non-esterified fatty acids and hepatic triglycerides than LC goats (P<0.05). Real-time PCR results showed that messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of gluconeogenic genes, namely, glucose-6-phosphatase, pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase were significantly up-regulated and accompanied greater gluconeogenic enzyme activities in the liver of HC goats. Moreover, the expression of hepatic lipogenic genes including sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, fatty acid synthase and diacylglycerol acyltransferase mRNA was also up-regulated by the HC diet (P<0.05). HC goats had greater hepatic phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase than LC (P<0.05). Furthermore, histone-3-lysine-27-acetylation contributed to this elevation of gluconeogenic gene expression. These results indicate that lactating goats fed an HC diet for 10 weeks produced more milk, which was associated with up-regulated gene expression and enzyme activities involved in hepatic gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis. 相似文献

Rats conditioned to eating fixed-size meals (meals at 7 AM and 7 PM), consuming diets rich in palm oil or sunflower seed oil, were used to study the metabolism of chylomicrons and hepatic very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) as a function of time after meal consumption. Rats fed a palm oil diet had higher serum triacylglycerol levels at 7 AM, before the meal (1.96 +/- 0.25 mM vs. 1.09 +/- 0.09 mM) and reached higher levels postprandially (4.32 +/- 0.48 mM vs. 2.87 +/- 0.18 mM) than sunflower seed oil-fed animals, due to higher levels of hepatic VLDL (at 7 AM) and higher levels of chylomicrons and hepatic VLDL (in the postprandial phase). These differences in serum triacylglycerol concentrations between the diets tested were found not to be due to differences in hepatic VLDL triacylglycerol secretion (similar rate for both dietary groups and not very much affected by meal consumption) or chylomicron triacylglycerol secretion (similar response profiles on both diets), pointing towards differences in plasma triacylglycerol catabolism. Subsequent double-label studies on triacylglycerol catabolism of chylomicrons from palm oil- and sunflower seed oil-fed animals in chow-fed recipients showed that palm oil triacyglycerol is catabolized slower than sunflower seed oil triacylglycerol. Furthermore, activities of postheparin plasma lipoprotein lipase tended to be higher in sunflower seed oil-fed animals. From these data we conclude that the relative hypertriglyceridemia found in palm oil-fed animals is due to less efficient catabolism and not to increased synthesis of plasma triacylglycerol. 相似文献

A total of twelve lactating Jersey cows were used in a 5-week experiment to determine the effects of severe feed restriction on the permeability of mammary gland cell tight junctions (TJs) and its effects on milk stability to the alcohol test. During the first 2 weeks, cows were managed and fed together and received the same diet according to their nutritional requirements (full diet: 15 kg of sugar cane silage; 5.8 kg of alfalfa hay; 0.16 kg of mineral salt and 6.2 kg of concentrate). In the 3rd week, animals were distributed into two groups of six cows each. One group received the full diet and the other a restricted diet (50% of the full diet). In the 4th and 5th weeks, all animals received the full diet again. Milk composition and other attributes, such as titratable acidity, ethanol stability, pH, density and somatic cell count (SCC) were evaluated. Cortisol levels indicated the stress condition of the cows. Plasma lactose and milk sodium were measured to assess mammary TJ leakiness. Principal factor analysis (PFA) showed that the first two principal factors (PFs) contributed with 44.47% and 20.57% of the total variance in the experiment and, as feeding levels increased, milk stability to the ethanol test became higher and plasma lactose levels decreased, which indicates lower permeability of the mammary gland cell TJ. Correspondence analyses were consistent with PFA and also showed that lower feeding levels were related to reduced milk stability, high plasma lactose, high sodium in milk, low milk lactose (another parameter used to assess TJ permeability) and higher cortisol levels, indicating the stress to which animals were submitted. All observations were grouped in three clusters, with some of the above-mentioned patterns. Feeding restriction was associated with higher permeability of TJ, decreasing milk stability to the ethanol test. 相似文献

Levels of n-6, n-3, and medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) in milk are highly variable. Higher carbohydrate intakes are associated with increased mammary gland MCFA synthesis, but the role of unsaturated fatty acids for milk MCFA secretion is unclear. This study addressed whether n-6 and n-3 fatty acids, which are known to inhibit hepatic fatty acid synthesis, influence MCFA in rat and human milk and the implications of varying MCFA, n-6, and n-3 fatty acids in rat milk for metabolic regulation in the neonatal liver. Rats were fed a low-fat diet or one of six higher-fat diets, varying in 16:0, 18:1n-9, 18:2n-6, 18:3n-3, and long-chain (LC) n-3 fatty acids. Higher maternal dietary 18:2n-6 or 18:3n-3 did not influence milk MCFA, but lower maternal plasma triglycerides, due to either a low-fat or a high-fat high-LC n-3 diet led to higher milk MCFA. MCFA levels were inversely associated with 18:1n-9, 18:2n-6, and 18:3n-3 in human milk, likely reflecting the association between dietary total fat and unsaturated fatty acids. High LC n-3 fatty acid in rat milk was associated with lower hepatic Pklr, Acly, Fasn, and Scd1 and higher Hmgcs2 in the milk-fed rat neonate, with no effect of milk 18:1n-9, 18:2n-6, or MCFA. These studies show that the dietary fatty acid composition does not impact MCFA secretion in milk, but the fatty acid composition of milk, particularly the LC n-3 fatty acid, is relevant to hepatic metabolic regulation in the milk-fed neonate. 相似文献

Nutrient intake of 29 male (M Group) and 16 female (F Group) highly competitive collegiate karate players were compared. The results were also compared with the daily energy expenditure (DEE), Japanese recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) or adequate dietary intakes (ADIs). Dietary information was collected using a 3-weekday diet record. Although the M Group showed significantly higher mean %RDAs or %ADIs in iron, vitamin B1, phosphorus, magnesium, and sodium than the F Group, many of the mean %RDAs or %ADIs were below RDAs or ADIs in both groups. The subjects who skipped meals tended to show lower mean %DEE, Japanese %RDAs or %ADIs in minerals and vitamins than the subjects who did not skip in both M and F Groups. The consumption of green and other vegetables and milk and dairy products in both M and F Groups were low. It is concluded that the male and female highly competitive karate players studied in the present study may be at risk of sub-optimal nutrient intake, which increases the potential for nutrient deficiency. The subjects were advised not to skip meals, and to consume a balanced high-carbohydrate, moderate-protein, low-fat diet with increasing green and other vegetables and milk and dairy products to increase mineral, vitamin and dietary fiber intakes. 相似文献

Relationships among milk progesterone, concentrate allocation, energy balance (EB), milk yield and conception rate were studied in 146 lactations in 94 moderate yielding cows. All animals were of the dual purpose breed Norwegian cattle, and were monitored through their first and second lactations. The cows were assigned three different concentrate allocations and had free access to grass silage. Energy balance was estimated by subtracting energy required for maintenance and lactation from energy intake. Milk progesterone concentration was determined three times weekly from calving until pregnancy. The cumulative progesterone concentration was calculated as area under the progesterone curve for the first three luteal phases postpartum. The conception rate increased linearly by rising milk progesterone for values of cumulative progesterone in the lowest third of the range, whereas the likelihood of conception did not differ between milk progesterone concentrations within the upper two-thirds. This implies that the progesterone values were below a threshold value for optimal reproductive success in one-third of the services performed in this study. Milk progesterone concentrations during the third luteal phase postpartum were low when the high-energy diet was fed. Negative EB was associated with reduced values for milk progesterone during the third luteal phase in second parity cows. Likewise, milk yield was inversely related to progesterone levels during both the first and third luteal phases postpartum in second parity cows. Energy balance was higher and milk yield lower during peak lactation among second parity cows that conceived compared to cows that remained open after the first artificial insemination. The present study have demonstrated an association between likelihood of conception and the energy coverage in Norwegian cattle. This relationship is possibly mediated through progesterone deficiency. 相似文献

We studied the effects of dietary inclusion of freeze-dried goat and cow milk on the utilization of copper, zinc and selenium, and on the metabolic fate of copper and zinc, in rats using a standard (non-milk) control diet recommended by the American Institute of Nutrition and diets based on goat or cow milk. For animals given the goat milk diet, the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of copper is similar to that obtained with the standard diet and higher than that in animals given the cow milk diet. The copper balance was higher among the rats given the goat milk and the standard diets than among those given cow milk. The ADC and retention of zinc and selenium were higher for the goat milk diet than for the other two diets. The copper content in the kidneys and in the femur was greater when the animals consumed a goat milk diet than a cow milk diet. Zn deposits in femur, testes, liver, kidney, heart and longissimus dorsi muscle were greatest with the goat-milk diet, followed by the standard diet and were lowest for the rats given cow-milk diet. This study shows that the goat-milk has an important and beneficial effect on the bioavailability of copper, zinc and selenium. 相似文献

Summary Six non-anaesthetized Large White pigs (mean body weight 59 ± 1.7 kg) were fitted with permanent catheters in the portal vein, the brachiocephalic artery and the right hepatic vein as well as with electromagnetic flow probes around the portal vein and around the hepatic artery. The animals were given a basal none-fibre diet (diet A) alone or together with 6% guar gum (diet B) or 15% purified cellulose (diet C). The diets were given for one week and according to a replicated 3 × 3 latin square design. On the last day of each such adaptation period test meals of 800 g were given prior to blood samplings. These samplings were continued for 8 h. Guar gum strongly reduced the amino acids (aa) and urea absorption as well as the hepatic production of urea. The aa profile of the absorbed mixture was not strongly modified by guar gum ingestion as well as the profile of the hepatic aa uptake. Cellulose at the consumed level had very few effects on the considered parameters.It is suggested that the modulation of intestinal mechanisms by guar gum was sufficient to mediate the latter internal metabolic effects. 相似文献

BackgroundFollowing a well-balanced diet ensures that a person gets all the essential elements for health sustenance. However, in the United Kingdom an increasing proportion of people are transiting to become vegans who exclude animal-based products in their diets. Consequently, people may have a deficit of essential elements such as iodine which is not present in most plant-based meals, additionally iodide fortified table salt is not commonly used in the UK. Without iodine people consuming a vegan diet risk developing iodine deficiency and diseases like goiter.MethodsThe objective of this study is to determine the difference in iodine content and iodine speciation between plant-based and dairy products. More than 100 market samples of plant-based and dairy milk products were collected in Scotland, UK.ResultsIodine concentrations in dairy milk is ten times higher compared to plant-based milks. Similar differences were also apparent for butter, yogurt and cheese. A total of 20% of plant-based milk products were fortified with iodine, however these products had lower iodine concentrations compare to the equivalent dairy products. In this study we calculated that people with average diet have an iodine intake of 226 + /- 103 μg day−1 from dairy products which satisfies the WHO recommended intake of adults and 90% of the recommend intake for pregnant and breast-feeding women. A diet from substituted dairy products gives only 21.8 µg day−1 for the respective WHO guideline intake values, which accounts only 15% of the iodine intake for adults and 9% for pregnant and lactating women. Iodine fortified diet could increase the iodine intake to 55% or 33% of the WHO recommended daily intake respectively.ConclusionPlant-based dairy consumers are encouraged to use iodine fortified dairy products or use of iodized salt in the UK for home cooking, otherwise there are at risk to get iodine deficient. 相似文献

Infradian rhythmicity in milk leukocyte activity together with plasma cortisol and prolactin levels throughout the lactation period in high-yielding crossbred cows has been studied in 10 high-yielding (milk production: 5000 l per lactation) Karan Fries crossbred (Holstein Friesian × Tharparkar) cows. Milk and blood samples were collected from all the experimental animals. Isolation of milk phagocytes (neutrophils and macrophages) and lymphocytes were done by density gradient centrifugation. In vitro phagocytic index of milk neutrophils and macrophages was performed by colorimetric NBT reductive assay. Mitogen-induced milk lymphocyte blastogenic response was estimated by colorimetric MTT (tetrazolium) assay. Total plasma cortisol and prolactin were estimated by enzyme immune assay. Highest value of plasma cortisol and prolactin was observed at calving which decreased significantly (p < 0.01) on 15th day postpartum for both prolactin and cortisol. Immune activity of milk leukocytes was highest on day 0 colostrum and decreased significantly (p < 0.01) on 7th day postpartum. A significant (p < 0.01) rise of plasma prolactin was observed around 135th and 225th days postpartum, whereas a peak level of plasma cortisol was observed at 105th, 180th, and 270th days postpartum. Phagocytic index of milk neutrophils and macrophages remains almost in a steady state during mid-lactation period (between 100 and 200 days postpartum). A decline in increasing trend of milk phagocytic activity was observed during late lactation. Mitogen-induced milk lymphocyte blastogenic response was highest on day 0 colostrum which decreased significantly (p < 0.01) on 15th day postpartum. Con A-induced milk lymphocyte blastogenic response showed an increasing trend from 120th to 210th days postpartum. Upon correlation study, it showed that the plasma cortisol has a negative effect on milk leukocyte activity, while prolactin has a positive effect, though the effect is lactation stage specific. 相似文献

To begin to understand the contributions of maternal obesity and over-nutrition to human development and the early origins of obesity, we utilized a non-human primate model to investigate the effects of maternal high-fat feeding and obesity on breast milk, maternal and fetal plasma fatty acid composition and fetal hepatic development. While the high-fat diet (HFD) contained equivalent levels of n-3 fatty acids (FA's) and higher levels of n-6 FA's than the control diet (CTR), we found significant decreases in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and total n-3 FA's in HFD maternal and fetal plasma. Furthermore, the HFD fetal plasma n-6:n-3 ratio was elevated and was significantly correlated to the maternal plasma n-6:n-3 ratio and maternal hyperinsulinemia. Hepatic apoptosis was also increased in the HFD fetal liver. Switching HFD females to a CTR diet during a subsequent pregnancy normalized fetal DHA, n-3 FA's and fetal hepatic apoptosis to CTR levels. Breast milk from HFD dams contained lower levels of eicosopentanoic acid (EPA) and DHA and lower levels of total protein than CTR breast milk. This study links chronic maternal consumption of a HFD with fetal hepatic apoptosis and suggests that a potentially pathological maternal fatty acid milieu is replicated in the developing fetal circulation in the nonhuman primate. 相似文献

Dairy products provide abundant, accessible calcium for humans, while some calcium sulfate-rich mineral waters could provide appreciable amounts of calcium. But there is little evidence that this calcium is as available as milk calcium for making bone. The availability of calcium was studied by monitoring bone parameters in 2-month-old pigs fed restricted amounts of calcium (70% RDA) for 2.5 months. The 3 main (> or = 50% Ca intake) Ca sources were either CaCO3 or CaSO4 or skim milk powder (29% of the diet). The bones of the pigs fed the "milk" diet had higher (P < 0.01) ash contents, breaking strength and density (DEXA) than those of the two others groups, in which the bone values were similar. Thus, the calcium provided by a diet containing milk appears to ensure better bone mineralization than do calcium salts included in a non-milk diet. The calcium restriction may have enhanced some milk properties to stimulate calcium absorption in these young, rapidly growing pigs. 相似文献

Cytosol extracts of human amnion tissue contained high affinity binding of cortisol (Ka = 2.48 ± 1.06 × 109 M−1; N = 30) and low capacity binding of cortisol (Nmax = 279 ± 15.5 fmol mg−1 protein). Kinetic studies of cortisol binding resulted in a similar value of Ka to that obtained by Scatchard analysis. Nuclear extracts of amnion tissue contained high affinity binding of cortisol (Ka = 5.8 ± 1.91 × 107 M−1) and low binding capacity (Nmax = 91.4±21.4 fmol mg−1 protein). Ka values were an order of magnitude higher in cytosol than in blood serum when amnion and blood were obtained from the same individuals. Differences in competitive ligand binding, especially dexamethasone, were observed between the amnion receptor and transcortin in serum. Gel permeation chromatography gave only one peak at 320 kDa for amnion receptor and only one peak at 48 kDa for transcortin from serum. When amnion tissue was incubated with or without cortisol, cytosol receptor activity was significantly lower in cortisol treated tissue than in control. The nuclear extracted receptor activity was significantly higher in cortisol treated tissue than control. The Ka values from cortisol treated tissue were significantly lower from control. Together the data support the presence of a specific cortisol receptor in the human amnion that is different from transcortin. 相似文献

In order to clarify a possible relationship between opioid peptides and glucose homeostasis in obesity we studied Beta-Endorphin (B-Ep), ACTH, cortisol and insulin plasma levels in response to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in 8 subjects after a hypocaloric diet for 90 days. We obtained through this treatment a weight loss superior to 30% of the initial weight excess (WE) compared with ideal body weight. Moreover, we compared the obtained results with our preliminary study that was performed with the same protocol but without caloric restriction. B-Ep was measured by RIA after silicic acid extraction and G75 Sephadex column chromatography. ACTH, insulin and cortisol were measured directly on plasma by an RIA method. Basal and during OGTT-induced levels of glucose, insulin, ACTH and cortisol decreased in comparison with the values obtained before diet. Conversely, B-Ep remained higher than normal both in the basal condition and during OGTT, and showed values consistently similar to those before diet. These data show that hyperinsulinemia is corrected by weight loss, while hyperbetaendorphinemia remains unchanged. Accordingly, it can be suggested that no direct relationship occurs between hyper-B-Ep-hyper-IRI in obesity. A further insight into the role of hyper-B-Ep in obesity is, thus, necessary, assuming as hypothesis that the increase in B-Ep may be a cause and not a corollary of the polymorphic aspects of obesity. 相似文献

Chances of mammary infections are comparatively higher in high producing cows during harsh environmental conditions and are usually characterised by changes occurring in various somatic cells secreted in the milk and their activities. The present study was conducted to record diurnal rhythmicity in milk somatic cell counts (SCC), neutrophil: macrophage (N: M) ratio, phagocytic activity (PA) of milk neutrophils and plasma cortisol concentrations during different seasons and parity in high producing Karan Fries cows. Values of milk SCC, N: M ratio and plasma cortisol levels were lowest during thermoneutral (TN), intermediate in winter and highest during the summer season. Diurnal rhythm in the milk SCC and N: M ratio was noticed in the summer while plasma cortisol exhibited diurnal rhythm in both winter and summer seasons. Milk SCC, N: M ratio and plasma cortisol increased in multiparous cows, but diurnal variation was noticed only in the N: M ratio and plasma cortisol in cows having more than four parity. Phagocytic activity of milk neutrophils was highest during TN, intermediate in winter and lowest during the summer season. Phagocytic activity was higher and similar in cows up to fourth parity but decreased in subsequent lactation cycles. Diurnal rhythm in the PA was noticed in winter and summer seasons and in cows having more than four parity where morning samples showed higher phagocytosis as compared to the evening samples. These results can be used for immunomodulatory interventions and therapeutic approaches in treating mastitis of crossbred cows reared under tropical conditions. 相似文献

The study was carried out to assess whether bovine milk whey and its products fermented by lactic acid bacteria could ameliorate the lipid peroxidation of hepatic mitochondria associated with cholestatic liver injury due to bile duct ligation. Rats were maintained on one of five diets for 3 weeks before being operated upon and killed 3 weeks after bile duct ligation. The diets included one deficient in vitamin E (control diet) and others supplemented with either 5% milk whey or 5% milk whey fermented with Bifidobacterium longum (B. longum), Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus), and Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophillus (S. thermophillus). Bile duct-ligated rats, compared with sham-operated rats, had higher organ weights (liver and spleen), higher serum alkaline phosphatase activity, higher serum bilirubin concentration, and higher content of hepatic mitochondrial lipid hydroperoxide. The rats fed on diets containing milk whey fermented with B. longum ameliorated the elevation of organ weights, enzyme activity, bilirubin concentration, and content of mitochondrial lipid hydroperoxide. Milk whey and milk whey fermented with L. acidophilus and S. thermophillus also suppressed the elevation of mitochondrial lipid hydroperoxide, but had no ameliorating effects on organ weights, enzyme activity, and bilirubin concentration. The elevation of serum lipid hydroperoxide was ameliorated in rats fed on diets containing milk whey and milk whey fermented with B. longum and S. thermophillus. The reduction in plasma α-tocopherol due to bile duct ligation was ameliorated in those rats fed on diets containing milk whey fermented with B. longum as well as by S. themophillus. These results suggest that a milk whey fermented with lactic acid bacteria exerts a beneficial effect on free radical-mediated hepatic injury. 相似文献
