(3) 3 For the dough: melt the lard with 100ml water in a small pan and leave to cool slightly.
(4) The liver weight, liver total lipids and cholesterol concentrations in rats fed the lard-cholesterol diet increased more than in the control rats, but the addition of tea catechins to the lard-cholesterol diet decreased those parameters.
(5) Whole body sterol balance, hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase activity, hepatic low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor levels and net tissue cholesterol concentrations were determined in guinea pigs fed either a corn oil- or lard-based purified diet for 6-7 weeks.
(6) The accuracy of the method was assessed in vitro with phantoms consisting of ox muscle, lard, and a mixture of both.
(7) Hepatic enzyme activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and adipose lipoprotein lipase were lower in rats fed the 30% lard diet than in those fed a nonpurified diet.
(8) Addition of dried skim milk or dried whey to the diet resulted in higher values (P less than .05) for DMD and ED as compared with the basal or corn-soy and lard diet.
(9) Lard, coconut oil, corn oil, methyl linoleate and herring oil have been analysed before and after irradiation for lipid peroxide content and fatty acid composition.
(10) The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities of aged rats fed the sardine oil diet increased significantly, whereas the activities of aged rats fed the lard diet decreased.
(11) Rations containing 25% of either regular rapeseed oil (36% erucic acid), Oro rapeseed oil (1.9% erucic acid), soybean oil or a mixture of lard and corn oil were fed to chickens, ducks and turkeys.
(12) The diet containing 5% sardine oil rich in eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids stimulated the mixed function oxidase system, but the diet containing 5% lard in which lard consisted of 10.7% linolenic acid and 1.5% linolenic acid seemed unlikely to stimulate enough the mixed function oxidase system.
(13) When LDL from animals fed the commercial diet was radiolabeled and injected into animals fed the three types of dietary fat, significant differences in LDL turnover were observed in the order CO greater than lard greater than OL, suggesting that intravascular processing and tissue uptake of the smaller LDL from animals fed the commercial diet varies depending on the dietary fat saturation fed to the recipient animals.
(14) Twenty-four 5-day-old male calves were fed twice daily milk replacers containing either 5% (low-fat) or 25% (high-fat) lard.
(15) Antioxidant activities in lard were measured by the Rancimat method.
(16) Guar gum and its hydrolysate suppressed 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase activities in the ileum to one half the control value in the experiment where dietary fat was lard.
(17) A positive correlation between production of TBA-reactive material and degradation of unsaturated fatty acids was verified for S9 fractions from the coconut oil and hydrogenated lard dietary groups.
(18) A practical application is illustrated by determination of the fatty acid distribution in lard.
(19) Rats were fed lard-enriched (17%) or corn oil-enriched (17%) diets and were compared with rats fed a low fat (4.5%) diet.
(20) A simple, rapid technique is described for the determination of 2- and 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA), tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene (BHT), 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxymethylphenol (Ionox-100), 2,4,5-trihydroxybutyrophenone (THBP), propyl gallate (PG), octyl gallate (OG), dodecyl gallate (DG), and nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) in vegetable oils, lards, and shortenings.
