Prevention of amino acid racemization during guanidination — a prerequisite for measurement of protein digestibility by homoarginine labeling
Homoarginine labeling (guanidination) is used to calculate true prececal protein digestibility. A particular worry is that guanidination of proteins at alkaline pH might cause formation of D-amino acids. If D-...

The hypocholesterolemic effect of guar gum depends on dietary sucrose — studies in minipigs
We examined the effect of guar gum on serum lipids if fed together with either 50.3% starch or 50.3% sucrose in a balanced diet to pigs. For this purpose, five adult hypercholesterolemic minipigs (total serum ...

Does Bovine Lactoferrin Resist Absorption in the Small Intestine of Neonatal and Adult Pigs?
The iron binding protein lactoferrin (LF) is found in the milk of different species. Its concentration is very high in the first period of lactation.

The Nutritive Value of Bovine Lactoferrin
A low degradation and absorption of the iron-binding milk protein lactoferrin has been associated with its proposed nutritional role of enhancing absorption of iron and supporting host resistance of the newbor...

Reliability and Limitations of the Homoarginine Method for Evaluation of Protein Digestibility in the Pig
Traditional methods to follow protein digestibility do not take into account that two variables interfere with the results: 1) the microbial activity in the gut, and 2) the variation of endogenous protein secr...

The effect of a free mackerel-supplemented diet on plasma and lipoprotein lipid concentrations in normolipidemic subjects
The effect of mackerel consumption on plasma and lipoprotein lipid concentrations was studied in a seven-day experiment in eight healthy, normolipidemic subjects. Participants ate about 100 g mackerel (corresp...

Influence of dietary casein and soy protein isolate on intestinal cholesterol and bile acid concentration
This study reports quantitative and qualitative differences in intestinal bile acids and cholesterol in miniature pigs following dietary casein or soy protein isolate. The total amount of bile acids in the sma...

Adaptation to changes in dietary composition, level and frequency of feeding
Adaptation in the metabolism of the animal, in the microbial metabolism in the rumen or by feeding techniques should be understood to involve adjustments in the natural regulation systems preventing digestive ...
