Energy Retention

Sixty-nine head of Hereford steers were used to study the effects of three different levels of dietary protein (low, basal, and high) and two levels (0 and 5%) of volatile fatty acid (VFA) on efficiency of gain and carcass composition. Energy retention data was determined by using a comparative slaughter technique. The accumulation of fat resulted in higher gross efficiency of gain. A 5% addition of VFA resulted in 9% better gains. These data suggest that increasing dietary protein without simultaneously increasing dietary energy, as VFA, will not increase performance. However, when energy, in the form of 5% VFA and protein were added together, increased performance occurred. Increasing the level of dietary protein resulted in increased levels of plasma urea nitrogen and total ruminal VFA concentrations. Results of this experiment suggest that blood glucose levels increase when 5% VFA is added to each of the three dietary levels of protein. These results suggest that the addition of 5% VFA to each of the three dietary levels of protein provide a more readily available energy source than a non-VFA supplemented ration.

The digestion of dietary organic matter, fibre constituents and protein in the stomach and intestines of multiparous Corriedale ewes was studied at different stages of gestation. As gestation progressed, the digestion of organic matter and cell wall organic matter in the rumen decreased. Digestibility in the whole tract declined to a small extent. The degradation of dietary protein was reduced from 72% In non-pregnant ewes to 37% at day 139 of gestation. Protein digestion distal to the stomach increased by 20%. Microbial protein synthesis in the rumen decreased, and it is suggested that the unexpected decrease in the efficiency of microbial synthesis may have been due to reduced rumen osmolalities as a result of the polydipsia exhibited in this experiment in late gestation. Rumen ammonia levels were related to the degradation of dietary N compounds, and caecal ammonia levels increased as protein digestion in the intestines increased. Plasma glucose levels remained normal, and D-3-OH-butyric acid levels remained low until the gravid uterus reached about 4.5 kg (equivalent to about day 120 in single- and day 90 in twin-bearing ewes). Thereafter glucose levels fell and D-3-OH-butyrate levels rose. The latter rise was associated with an increase in the urinary excretion of ammonia N. Plasma urea levels declined to day 90, then rose to day 139, and plasma amino acid N levels rose in late gestation; these increases may reflect tissue mobilization and increased fetal use of amino acids as an energy source.

Abstract. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of maternal consumption of flaxseed flour and oil on serum concentrations of glucose, insulin, and thyroid hormones of the adult female offspring of diabetic rats. Methods: Wistar rats were induced to diabetes by a high-fat diet (60%) and streptozotocin (35 mg/kg). Rats were mated and once pregnancy was confirmed, were divided into the following groups: Control Group (CG): casein-based diet; High-fat Group (HG): high-fat diet (49%); High-fat Flaxseed Group (HFG): high-fat diet supplemented with 25% flaxseed flour; High-fat Flaxseed Oil group (HOG): high-fat diet, where soya oil was replaced with flaxseed oil. After weaning, female pups (n = 6) from each group were separated, received a commercial rat diet and were sacrificed after 180 days. Serum insulin concentrations were determined by ELISA, the levels of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were determined by chemiluminescence. Results: There was a significant reduction in body weight at weaning in HG (−31%), HFG (−33%) and HOG (44%) compared to CG (p = 0.002), which became similar by the end of 180 days. Blood glucose levels were reduced in HFG (−10%, p = 0.044) when compared to CG, and there was no significant difference between groups in relation to insulin, T3, T4, and TSH after 180 days. Conclusions: Maternal severe hyperglycemia during pregnancy and lactation resulted in a microsomal offspring. Maternal consumption of flaxseed reduces blood glucose levels in adult offspring without significant effects on insulin levels and thyroid hormones.

History Of

The prevention of Diabetic Mellitus (DM) and its complications is the main aim of this study, in addition to the training of lotion foot care application and the development of small scale industry. The research team delivered knowledge in the form of training on Diabetic Mellitus, healthy food, treatment and prevention of complications, and small-scale production of cosmetic products. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between training on diabetic and lotion foot care application as preventive measures against diabetic complications on the patient's blood glucose levels in the community of residents in Banyuurip Jaya, Surabaya. It was expected from this training that the knowledge of the residents increases and people living with diabetic undergo lifestyle changes and therefore blood sugar levels can be controlled. The parameters measured in this research were blood glucose levels, the anti diabetic drug types consumed, and compliance on diabetics. This study used the data taken from 60 patients with DM over a period of one month. Questionnaires and log books was used to retrieve data and changes in blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. The results showed the demographic data of patients with type 2 diabetic of 85% female and 15% male, with the range of patients aged of 61-70 years of 46.67% and had history of diabetic (90%). The history of drugs consumed by respondents was anti diabetic drugs such as metformin (40%), glimepiride (33.37%) and insulin (6.67%). In addition, the increased knowledge of DM patients after being given the training compared to before training was shown in several questions in the questionnaire. A statistical analysis using t-test analyzed a correlation between training provided in order to enhance understanding of the patient, as well as correlation with blood glucose levels. A paired T-test showed that there was a relationship between the knowledge of trainees before and after training (p less than 0.05). An interesting result was that there was no relationship between blood glucose levels before and after training provided (p> 0.05).
