The comparative study of irreversible inhibitory action of some substituted vinyl-phosphates (in usual and betaine forms on cholinesterases from different biological sources such as the human blood erythrocytes, the horse and the hen blood serum and optic ganglia of the squid) has been carried out. It is shown that betaines obtain lesser inhibitory activity as compared with the corresponding ordinary vinylphosphates. Some of tested inhibitors display expressed selectivity of action. So, the compound GL-2 reacts with cholinesterase of optic ganglia of the squid 450 000 times faster than with cholinesterase of the hen blood serum. The application of vinylphosphates as inhibitors of cholinesterases allows displaying additional differences in properties of enzymes. It is very important for comparative enzymology. These compounds may be used for detalization of type belonging and to make the classification of cholinesterases more accurate. Moreover, the estimation of anticholinesterase activity of vinylphosphates is important because these compounds may be used both in medicine and agriculture.

This study evaluated the effects of incorporating biological silage from tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) by-products (BST) on the performance, hematological and plasma biochemical parameters, and egg quality (physical, proximate composition and sensory characteristics) of older commercial hens. The BST was prepared by ensiling tambaqui by-products with lactic acid bacteria, cassava trimmings, and preservatives, producing a nutrient-rich, high-protein feed ingredient. One hundred and twenty Hisex Brown hens (83 weeks old) were divided into five treatment groups, each receiving diets with 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4% BST.

Background: Cactus contains dietary fiber and minerals and is expected to have preventive effects against diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and other diseases. Additionally, cactus intake induces the production of short-chain fatty acids derived from the gut microbiota, which might influence immune functions. In this study, we examined the effects of a cactus (: NC)-supplemented diet on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced immune responses and intestinal barrier function.

Hellenic Endocrine Network, 6, Ermou St, Athens, Greece.

Purpose Of Review: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is one of the most common causes of death globally and the leading one in the US. Elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is one of the main modifiable disease risk factors and statin therapies have been extensively studied in that regard. The present work presents the clinical trials derived evidence supporting the use of statins in primary and secondary cardiovascular disease prevention.

Fennel seed (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) essential oil (FEO), which is rich in the phytoestrogenic compound trans-anethole, interacts with oestrogen receptors and influences molecular targets within cells and hormonal responses. This study examined the effect of dietary encapsulated FEO inclusion levels on performance, reproductive hormone profiles, and gene expression in laying hens during the early and late phases.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored how different dietary ratios of linseed and soybean oils affected egg quality and health in 70-week-old Jinghong laying hens, mixing them into four groups for a 4-week period with varying oil ratios.
  • - No significant differences were found in egg production or overall feed intake among the groups, but the T2 group (2:1 linseed to soybean oil) exhibited higher follicle counts, and the T3 group (1:2 ratio) showed better albumen height and antioxidant enzyme activity compared to the T4 group (all soybean oil).
  • - The findings indicated that a 1:2 ratio of linseed to soybean oil improved egg quality by enhancing antioxidant capacity and reducing oxidative stress in the
