Interactive effects of dietary isoleucine and valine ratios to lysine in response to varying leucine to lysine ratios on jejunal and hepatic protein expression in commercial broilers 

Ventura Urbina, Diego (2023-12-06)  ETD File Embargoed
Valine, leucine, and isoleucine are three essential amino acids, commonly known as branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Inadequate concentrations of BCAA in poultry diets have been related to the generation of antagonistic ...

Interactive effects of dietary isoleucine and valine ratios to lysine in response to varying leucine to lysine ratios on Pectoralis major protein expression in commercial broilers 

Almendares, Cristopher (2023-08-07)  ETD File Embargoed
The branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) consists of valine, leucine and isoleucine. The optimum ratio for each of the 3 BCAA is still unknown. Inadequate concentrations have been related to generate interactions among each ...

Interactive Effects of Fish Oil and Methylmercury on the Fatty Acid Profile of Adult Rat Forebrain Phospholipids 

Baker, Julie (2007-12-15)
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a fatty acid found in cold water marine fish is a long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA). It is important for cognitive and motor function, vision, and infant development. Fish is also ...

The Interactive Effects of N-3 Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Methylmercury on the Cardiovascular System 

Teodorescu, Carmen (2007-12-15)
Coldwater marine fish, an excellent source of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), is often contaminated with the environmental pollutant methylmercury (MeHg). N-3 LCPUFA and MeHg have contrasting effects ...
