This Study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of nutrition education program intervention on nutritional status and some biochemical indicators of hypothyroidism patients. A random sample of 40 hypothyroidism patients 5 males and 35 females were selected from Kasr El-Aini Hospital out patients with age from (30-45) years. Three tools were used for data collection, structured interview questionnaire, dietary assessment questionnaire , nutritional intake knowledge food habitsand anthropometric measurements. In previous study were performed at baseline revealed prevalence of malnutrition companied with poor food habits, based on these findings, this study aimed to conduct nutrition education program intervention for three months to improve patients' ability to look after their nutritional health by improving their food literacy, understanding their nutritional needs. Our patients were subjected to nutritional assessment and laboratory investigation at baseline and after 12 weeks to determine serum free T4, free T3 TSH, zinc, iron, selenium level and iodinelevel in urine. According to the present study at the end of nutrition education program intervention for 3 month, results recorded a high significant correction in food habits, food choices, enhancing and hindering some minerals absorption and adequacy of nutrients intake. Results of the nutritional assessment after intervention confirmed by biochemical analysis as comparing at baseline vs. after 12 week of (NEP) intervention. Results revealed a significant difference increase (P<0.05) in serum ferritin, selenium, zinc and urinary iodine levels .Concerning the levels of FT3, FT4 and TSH at baseline vs. after intervention, result revealed non significant differences. In conclusion 12 weeks of (NEP) intervention induced a significant improvement in adequacy intake from some minerals and vitamins which reflected as an induced a significant increase (P<0.05) in serum ferritin, Se, Zn, and urinary iodine. We suggest that malnutrition or presence of numerous nutritional deficiencies in hypothyroidism patients’ body can be cause of thyroid disorders. The co-existing deficiencies of such elements as iodine, iron, selenium, zinc and vitamin C may impair the function of the thyroid gland .

Fatty fish and fish bone have been used successfully in the traditional management of Osteoporosis. The present study was carried out to investigate the role of sibia, sardine and salmon fish as anti-osteoporotic effect in female rats.Fifty adult female albino rats were divided into five groups as follows:The first group (10 rats) were kept as negative control group and were fed only on a basal diet. The other four groups (10 rats each) were fed on a basal diet containing 100 mg Prednisone Acetate as a source of glucocorticoid/ kg diet for two weeks to induce osteoporosis, four rats were selected to insure induction of osteoporosis by DEXA scan then they were divided as follow:The second group was served as a positive control group. The third group was fed on a basal diet supplemented with salmon powder at the level of (5%).The fourth group was fed on a basal diet supplemented with sardine powder at the level of (5%).The fifth group was fed on a basal diet supplemented with sibia powder at the level of (5%).Results revealed that three type of fish especially sibia fish caused a significant decrease in serum urea, creatinine, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT)and parathyroid hormone. In addition, a significant increase in calcium andphosphorus, vitamin D,bone mineral density and bone mineral content.In conclusion, thethree types of fish especially sibia fish protect rats against osteoporosis through its vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus content. So, it may be beneficial to the human beings.

This study sought to describe the chemical composition of the wild Plantagoovata in order to ascertain its antioxidant and anticancer properties. An ethanol extract of Plantagoovata seeds was tested against three different human cell lines, including colon adenocarcinoma (HCT-116), hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2), and human breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines, after its chemical components were described and identified by GC-MS. Using the DPPH radical scavenging technique, the antioxidant activity of Plantago ovata's ethanol extract was evaluated. The capacity of each antidiabetic agent to inhibit human α-amylase and α-glucosidaseswas then assessed, and results were compared to those of the antidiabetic medication acarbose. Additionally, it was predicted that inhibiting pancreatic lipase might clarify Plantago's effects.17 compounds from an ethanol extract of Plantago ovata were characterized and recognized by GC-MS for the first time. When compared to vitamin C, the antioxidant activity of Plantago ovata's ethanol extract demonstrated a comparably strong antioxidant, scavenging affinity against DPPH radicals. Additionally, Plantago ovata's ethanol extract's anti-cancer properties had good antitumor properties against all examined cell lines. The inhibitory actions of Plantago ovata on human glucosidases and -amylase may be useful in regulating postprandial glycaemia and sugar absorption without the drawbacks of acarbose therapy.

Drug-induced nephrotoxicity is a common cause of acute kidney injury and gentamicin is categorized under one of these nephrotoxic drugs. Using medicinal plants that can ameliorate or delay the deterioration in kidney functions is needed due to their low cost and fewer side effects.Thirty-Five healthy adult male albino rats were divided into five equal groups: (-) control group in which normal rats were fed on a basal diet as a group (1) , (+) control nephrotoxicity rats in which rats were injected with gentamicin and fed on a basal diet as a group (2) , groups (3,4, and 5) nephrotoxicity rats were fed on a basal diet containing 2.5, 5, and 10% frankincense ( Boswellia sacra) powder, respectively, for 28 days. Kidney and liver functions, minerals levels, antioxidant status, lipids profile, glucose levels, and histopathological changes were investigated. Results showed a significant increase in body weight and a significant decrease in serum level of urea, creatinine, uric acid, phosphorous, potassium, lipids, glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and albumin, and total protein in groups treated with different levels of frankincense ( P ≤0.05). Moreover, there was a significant increase in levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and Catalase (CAT) as well as a significant decrease in levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), a biomarker of lipid peroxidation (P ≤0.05). Concerning kidney histology, no histopathological alterations were seen in the kidneys of treated 10 Study results demonstrated that administration of frankincense for 28 days could ameliorate kidney damage resulting from gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

his work was carried out on male Barki lambs to investigate the effect of substitution of berseem hay (Egyptian clover) with Prosopis Juliflora and Kochia, on growth performance and some blood constituents as well as economic efficiency. Twenty growing Barki males at 4-5 months with an average live body weight (LBW) (24.26 kg) selected from a herd of Borg El-Arab Station- Alexandria- Egypt APRI- ARC. The lambs.were randomly divided into 4 similar groups (5 animals each). The 1 st group (Hay) was fed the control diet which consisted of 40% concentrate feed mixture plus 30% berseem hay (BH) plus 30% treated rice straw, while in the 2nd,3rd and 4th groups, Brseem Hay as percentage was replaced by Prosopis Juliflora, Kochia and mixture of Prosopis Juliflorar and Kochia respectively. Condensed tannins (CT) were determined according to the description of Harinder et al., (1993). Blood samples was analysis. Commercial kits were used for all biochemical determination. Data was statistically analyzed by the GLM procedure of SAS (2003). The data indicated that the highest value of DM intake (971 g/h or 59.13 g/kgw0.75) was recorded with T1. However, the crud protein intake as g/d or g/kgw0.75 for growing lambs was not affected by the tested rations. During the whole period (14 weeks), Daily body gain was improved with T2 and T4 by 16.28 and 23.75%, respectively compared with T1. But, the obtained results detect slight differences between T1 and T3 without significance. The effect of replacing berseem hay with Prose in Juliflora alone or Kochia on total protein and urea-N without affecting liver function was significant with T2 and T4. Replacing BE with greenery, on the other hand, resulted in a lower feed coast and increased economic efficiency (T3, T4, and T2, respectively) compared with T1. In conclusion: feeding on Prosopis Juliflora or Kochia and mixing Prosopis Juliflora with Kochia, instead of clover hay may improve growth performance and some blood constituents of Bar ki Lambs.

SUMMARY his experiment was carried-out to evaluate the combined effects of dietary commercial probiotic Lactéol Fort ® supplementation and different rearing systems on reproductive performance of red tilapia broodstock. In completely randomized, 2X2 factorial design, 2 different tank systems, clear water (CW) and biofloc combined with two different levels (0 and 1 g kg -1 ) of dietary probiotic Lactéol Fort ® attaining 4 experimental treatments; T1: CW without probiotic), T2: CW + probiotic, T3: biofloc without probiotic) and T4: biofloc + probiotic with three replicates for each treatment compromising twelve tanks (each 2 m 3 ). Red tilapia broodstock reproductive performance was compared during the reproductive period. The probiotic Lactéol Fort ® containing Lactobacillus delbruekii (10 13 CFU: colony forming unit) g -1 and L. fermentum (10 13 CFU) g -1 was administered as a feed additive to broodstock diet. For the reproductive performance assay, 216 females and 72 males of red tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus × O. niloticus at density of 24 (18 females: 6 males) tank -1 equivalent to stocking density of 9: females: 3 males m -3 with a sex ratio of 3 females to 1 male. Average body weight of female and male tilapia broodstock were 127.5 and 148 g, respectively). Reproductive variables (spawned female %, absolute and relative fecundity) were estimated in four subsequent seed clutches. No mortalities were found in male and female tilapia broodstock as affected by biofloc and probiotic levels. The results revealed that broodstock fed the commercial probiotic in biofloc tanks (T4: biofloc + probiotic), had the highest values for reproductive performance followed by T3 (biofloc without probiotic addition), T2 (CW + probiotic), and finally T1 (CW without probiotic). The results recommend continuous intake of probiotic (Lactéol Fort ® containing Lactobacillus delbruekii (10 13 ) CFU g -1 and L. fermentum , 10 13 CFU (colony forming unit) g -1 at a dose of 1 g kg -1 of broodstock feed in biofloc tanks during the spawning season of red tilapia, due to the higher reproductive performance and fry survival .
本试验旨在研究饲粮中添加商业益生菌lactacimol Fort®和不同饲养制度对红罗非鱼繁殖性能的联合影响。在完全随机、2X2析因设计中,采用2种不同的水罐系统,在清水罐和生物菌群中添加2种不同水平(0和1 g kg -1)的益生菌lactacimol Fort®,分别进行4个试验处理;T1:不含益生菌的连续菌),T2:连续菌+益生菌,T3:不含益生菌的生物菌群)和T4:生物菌群+益生菌,每个处理3个重复,共12个水箱(每个2立方米)。比较了红罗非鱼种鱼在繁殖期内的繁殖性能。本试验将含有德尔布鲁氏乳杆菌(10 13 CFU:菌落形成单位)g -1和发酵乳杆菌(10 13 CFU) g -1的益生菌lact Fort®作为饲料添加剂添加到种鱼饲料中。在繁殖性能试验中,以24只(雌性18:雄性6)池-1的密度为216只雌鱼和72只雄鱼,相当于放养密度为9只雌鱼:3只雄鱼m -3,性别比为3雌1雄。母罗非鱼和公罗非鱼的平均体重分别为127.5和148 g)。在随后的四个种子窝中估计了生殖变量(产卵雌性百分比,绝对和相对繁殖力)。未发现雄性和雌性罗非鱼亲鱼因生物絮团和益生菌水平的影响而死亡。结果表明,在生物絮团池中饲喂商业益生菌(T4:生物絮团+益生菌)的鱼的繁殖性能最高,其次是T3(不添加益生菌的生物絮团)、T2 (CW +益生菌)和T1(不添加益生菌的CW)。结果提示,在红罗非鱼产卵季节,在生物絮凝池中连续添加含有德尔布鲁氏乳杆菌(10 13)CFU g -1和发酵乳杆菌(10 13 CFU(菌落形成单位)g -1的益生菌(Lactobacillus delbruekii (10 13) CFU g -1)和发酵乳杆菌(10 13 CFU(菌落形成单位)g -1,剂量为1 g kg -1。

SUMMARY aprylic acid (CA) and Yucca schidigera (YS) extract have much functional and nutritional properties that may have uses in poultry feeding. These beneficial effects include improvement of productive performance, egg quality immunity, hormones and other blood parameters. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with different levels of CA with constant level of YS extract on productive performance, immunity status and some blood characteristics in laying hens. A total number of 120 Lohmann Brown hens 24 weeks old were used in this experiment. The hens were randomly distributed into 8 experimental groups and each group was divided into five replicates three hens each and dietary treatments can describe as follows : (T1): control diet (basal diet without supplement). (T2): basal diet with 100 mg/kg feed of Yucca schidigera extract. (T3): basal diet with 500 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. (T4): basal diet with 100 mg/kg feed of Yucca schidigera extract + 500 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. (T5): basal diet with 1000 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. (T6): basal diet with 100 mg/kg feed of Yucca schidigera extract + 1000 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. (T7): basal diet with 2000 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. (T8): basal diet with 100 mg/kg feed of Yucca schidigera extract + 2000 mg/kg feed of caprylic acid. Results showed that supplemented laying hen diets with CA and YS were significant differences and led to improve the BW, FI, FCR, egg production and egg mass among the dietary treatments. The egg quality parameters such as egg weight, yolk weight, albumin weight, eggshell weight, eggshell thickness, yolk index, shape index and yolk color in this study were not significantly affected by supplementation of layer chicken diets with different level of CA and YS. The concentration of serum glucose was significantly (P≤0.05) increased in all groups compared to control group. Also, the concentration of T 3 and T 4 hormones in serum was significantly (P≤0.05) increased as the level of CA increased in the layer diets with or without YS compared to control group. While, serum total cholesterol concentrations were significantly (P≤0.05) decreased as utilization level of CA increased either alone or with YS in the layer diets. The results of H/L ratio were significantly (P≤0.05) decreased as the level of CA increased in the layer chicken diets specially groups of T7 and T8. The rest of biochemical parameters such as serum IgG, serum total protein, serum albumin and serum globulin The results of these mentioned parameters in this study revealed that dietary inclusion of CA and YS significantly (P≤0.05) increased concentrations of that parameters as the level of CA increased in the hen diets. Therefore, it is recommended to applicate both of CA and YS in layer chicken diets at levels studied without any adverse effect on productive and immunity status of layer hens.

SUMMARY he comparative evaluation of different less-well researched forages will yield promising candidates to overcome the limitations of feed sources in most sub-tropic areas during drought. These resources may provide enough supply for animals’ growth and milk production. Therefore, the main objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of using the viability of complete replacement of berseem hay in the diet of Barki ewes with cassava, or Acacia neloitca or Atriplex halimus leaves on ewes and their lambs' performance. For this berseem hay, “BH” in the diets of sheep was substituted with leaves of cassava, acacia or Atriplex. Forty late pregnant Barki ewes (43.2±1.1 Kg body weight) were divided into four groups in this evaluation trial. Animal groups fed either control diet (900 g concentrate feed mixture “CFM” + 600 g BH), or the tested diets, in which substituted BH with 600 g leaves of cassava, acacia, or Atriplex. Biweekly live body weight of ewes was recorded in the morning before feeding, while their lambs were weighed at the birthing then biweekly until weaning. Digestibility trials and nitrogen balance were implemented for the tested diets. Milk yield and its composition as well as blood analysis were also carried out. The economic efficiency was calculated for the experimental groups. Data of the studied parameters were statistically analyzed using the General Linear Model's procedures of SAS GLM (SAS, (2004). Cassava recorded the highest (P<0.05) values of most digestibility coefficients and feeding value parameters as well as dry matter intake and nitrogen balance. Both cassava and acacia were the best ones in maintaining the body weight and weight gain for both ewes and their lambs compared to the control and Atriplex groups. Milk yield was increased (P<0.01) in the cassava diet and milk protein, fat, ash, and solid not fat were increased (P<0.05) in the substituted forage diets compared with the control. Somatic cell count was almost similar in all tested groups. Cassava group had higher (P<0.05) serum total protein and the lowest A/G ratio, urea, and creatinine concentrations when compared to the control. Cassava increased (P<0.05) lambs weaning weights and daily weight gain compared to other treatments. It could be concluded that cassava, acacia and Atriplex are valuable alternatives to berseem hay in Barki ewe diets. Ewes fed cassava tended to have high body weight, milk yield and their lamb’s daily gain compared with that fed acacia or Atriplex.

SUMMARY wo experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of supplementing different levels of nano emulsified essential oils blend (NEOB) (oregano, garlic, and clove oil) on in-vitro rumen gas production, rumen fermentation and lactating goats performance. The first experiment designed to study the effect on in-vitro gas production and rumen fermentation parameters, while, the second experiment to study the effect on lactating goat's performance trail. Fifteen Shami lactating goats, were divided into three similar groups (5 animals each). The experimental groups were (T1) the control group, were fed on (50% concentrate feed mixture :50 % roughage). While the second group (T2) and third group (T3) were fed on the control ration supplemented with 5 ml NEOB /head/day or 7.5 ml NEOB /head/day respectively. The results showed that, experimental animals which fed on NEOB groups showed reduction of in vitro Gas production GP (ml/200mg DM), GPSF (ml/g DM), GPSNF (ml/g DM) and SCFA (mml/ml gas) (p<0.05) when compared with the control group. Animals of (T3) group showed significantly (P<0.05) the highest values of milk yield, milk protein content, fat, TS, Ash, lactose, actual daily and fat-corrected (4% fat) daily milk yield, followed by group (T2). However, the control group (T1) recorded the lowest milk yield among all groups. Results of feed conversion ratio (FCR) in the terms of DM kg / kg 4% fat corrected milk (FCM), showed that the group supplemented with 7.5 ml NEOB/animal/day gave significantly (P<0.05) better values than the control group. Milk yield from animals of Group T1 recoded significantly (P<0.05) higher total saturated fatty acids content (SFAs), while, those of T2 and T3 recorded higher significant (P<0.05) values of total poly-unsaturated fatty acids ((C22:6), (C18:3), (C20:2), (C20:3), (C20:4), (C20:5), (C22:5), (C18:2)). The animals of T3 recorded (P<0.05) the highest albumin and globulin, immunity values in term of (IgG and IgM) and GPx (U/mg protein) antioxidant followed in a decreasing an order by T2 and T1, respectively.
