Effect of dietary protein level and kind of carbohydrate on growth and selected pathological and biochemical parameters in male BHE rats

Role of Fermentable Carbohydrate Supplements in the Course of Uremia

“…It has been also shown that the preservation of remaining nephron in nephrectomized rats is tightly dependent on the nature of the carbohydrate ingested. The kidney preservation could be, thus, improved by the supply of complex carbohydrates rather than simple carbohydrates (Lakshmanan et al, 1983;Kleinknecht et al, 1986). Control of lipid supply and the balance in fatty acids is also important since CRF patients are frequently hyperlipidemic with an increase of the total amount of plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipides, LDL and VLDL and a decrease in HDL (Attman & Alaupovic, 1990;Gentile et al, 1995;Axelsson, 2010 ;Ng et al, 2011).…”

Relation of soya bean meal level to the concentration of plasma free amino acids and body growth in white rats

“…Physiological characteristics of animals, such as concentrations of selected metabolites in blood serum, tend to be more responsive to acute changes in nutritional status. Consequently, several techniques that use concentrations of various cellular components, proteins, enzymes, and metabolites in blood to assess nutritional status have been examined in a variety of small mammals (Hackbarth et al., 1983; Lakshmanan et al., 1983). Profiles of concentrations of free amino acids in blood serum have been used in the diagnosis of subclinical protein malnutrition in humans (Antener et al., 1981; Johnson and Anderso, 1982) and suggested as the most sensitive indicator of protein nutritional status of laboratory rats (Gustafson et al., 1986; Jansen et al., 1986).…”
