Oxidant/antioxidant response during fasting and exhaustive swimming in the kidney of trained mice

There are no reports on the oxidant/antioxidant response in the kidney of trained mice, during the process of short-term fast or exhaustive exercise. Trained mice (TR) and untrained (NO) but only adapted to swimming were submitted to fasting or exhaustive swimming for 2, 4 and 6 h, and observed at 4 and 24 h of recovery.

The comparison of lactation performance and milk fatty acid composition of Sarabi indigenous and Holstein cows

The objective of this study was to specify fatty acid content of milk from Sarabi indigenous cows and compare it with milk fatty acid profile of Holstein cows. Ten Holstein and twelve Sarabi confinement cows that have been fed on total mixed ration with corn silage, alfalfa hay and dairy concentrate were used in a completely randomized design. Holstein cows had greater milk production (P<.0001), whereas...
