Rev. chil. nutr; 46 (6), 2019
ABSTRACT Bioactive compounds are substances present in low doses in foods mostly from the plant kingdom. Their consumption can influence physiological or cellular processes and has a beneficial effect on health. Fucoidans and beta-glucans are bioactive compounds that share the characteristic of being car...

Pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita maxima): a review of functional attributes and by-products

Rev. chil. nutr; 46 (6), 2019
ABSTRACT The need to obtain nutritious foods from new sources and lower waste in industry has created a high interest in studying different parts of plants or foods that today are considered waste, but could be considered by-products with high nutritional value with potential use in human diets.

Metabolic and volume status evaluation of hemodialysis patients with and without residual renal function in the long interdialytic interval

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (4), 2019
Abstract Introduction: It is unclear whether residual renal function (RRF) in dialysis patients can attenuate the metabolic impact of the long 68-hour interdialytic interval, in which water, acid, and electrolyte accumulation occurs. Objective: to evaluate serum electrolyte levels, water balance, and a...

Fluid and hemodynamic management in hemodialysis patients: challenges and opportunities

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (4), 2019
Abstract Fluid volume and hemodynamic management in hemodialysis patients is an essential component of dialysis adequacy. Restoring salt and water homeostasis in hemodialysis patients has been a permanent quest by nephrologists summarized by the 'dry weight' probing approach. Although this clinical appro...

Chemical and structural composition of black pigmented supragingival biofilm of bovines with periodontitis

Pesqui. vet. bras; 39 (12), 2019
Bovine periodontitis is a multifactorial disease primarily associated with a potentially pathogenic microbiota housed in the oral biofilm of animals. Biofilms are organized structures, in which the constituents coexist in symbiosis, already described as a predisposing factor to periodontitis in other spe...

Correlación entre los microorganismos oxidantes del amonio y los factores ambientales durante el compostaje de estiércol de ganado
Correlation between ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms and environmental factors during cattle manure composting

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (4), 2019
Abstract Cattle manure composting was performed in an aerated vessel. Community structure and diversity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) were investigated using polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) techniques targeting the...

Anthelmintic activity of Eucalyptus citriodora essential oil and its major component, citronellal, on sheep gastrointestinal nematodes

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the anthelmintic activity of Eucalyptus citriodora essential oil and citronellal on sheep gastrointestinal nematodes. Essential oil composition was determined by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The substances were evaluated in vitro using adult worm motility te...

Salvadora persica protects mouse intestine from eimeriosis

Abstract Eimeriosis is a global poultry health problem. In the current study, we investigated the role of Salvadora persica leaf extracts (SE) against murine eimeriosis induced by Eimeria papillata. The infection induced an oocyst output of 6242 ± 731 oocysts/g feces. After treatment with 300 mg⁄k...
