(2001)In each of two experiments, the reproductive performance of ewes naturally infested with sarcoptic mange and of uninfested ewes was assessed in in-season natural breeding conditions (experiment I) or in out-of-season ... -
Elevated plasma immunoreactive leptin levels preexist in healthy offspring of patients with essential hypertension
(1999)Background Plasma leptin levels and plasma insulin levels have been found to be elevated in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and have been suggested to be components of the metabolic syndrome. Increased heart rate ... -
Feed supplemented with byproducts from olive oil mill wastewater processing increases antioxidant capacity in broiler chickens
(2015)In the present study, a ceramic membrane microfiltration method was used for the separation of two liquid products, the downstream permeate and the upstream retentate, from olive mill wastewater (OMWW). These liquid products ... -
