One group of four adult White Leghorn male chickens was fed a
diet containing 7.3% linoleic acid and 32.4 mg/ kg of added vitamin E
(group IV) for 50 weeks which was designated as the positive control.
A second lot (group I) containing 14 males received the same level of...
The relative enrichment of skin sebaceous gland lipids with deuterium-labeled α-tocopherol was compared with plasma enrichment to evaluate the delivery of vitamin E to skin. For the first week of this study, each subject consumed a daily dose of deuterated vitamin E (150 mg of an equimolar mixture of RRR-α-[5-(C²H₃)]-(d₃)...
Provides information about complexity of watersheds. Outlines ways to form partnerships, to develop strategies for enhancing watershed resources, and to implement enhancement projects.
I experimentally test the hypothesis that the potential for selfing
increases with plant size in Mertensia ciliata (Boraginaceae), a self-compatible,
profusely-flowering perennial. This follows from the
premises that 1) pollen dispersal by pollinators between flowers is
limited, and 2) individual pollinators, in this study bumblebees, will
visit more flowers per...
Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of various levels of vitamin E on egg yolk. A diet of corn-flax-soybean meal was fed to layers and α-tocopherol content in eggs, egg production, and egg quality were evaluated. In experiment 2, vitamin E toxicity was also determined. In experiment 1,...
