The hypolipidemic benefits of trans-11 vaccenic acid in a rat model of dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome
DownloadFall 2010
Trans-11 vaccenic acid (VA) is the predominant trans fatty acid in dairy fat and is the major precursor to endogenous synthesis of cis9,trans11-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in humans and animals. Epidemiological studies have shown the positive association between trans fat intake and incidence...

The role of functional properties of dietary fiber in the control of nutrient flow and intestinal health in pigs
DownloadFall 2010
Viscosity and fermentability are considered important properties of dietary fiber. Viscosity increases digesta viscosity and reduces digesta passage rate, nutrient digestion and absorption whereas fermentability increases fermentation into short chain fatty acids (SCFA). The objectives were to...
