The present invention proposes an integrated process for extracting proteins and arabinoxylans from brewer' s spent grain, without the need to subject the spent grains to any pre-treatment, through the use of alkaline reagents followed by selective precipitation by acidification of the medium and addition of ethanol. The present invention is applicable in the areas of reuse or valorization of brewer' s spent gr...
Brewers´ spent grain (BSG) is a by-product from beer industry that can be exploited as a source of arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS) with prebiotic activity. In this study, microwave-assisted extractions were performed during 2 min at 140-210°Cin order to evaluate the feasibility of this extraction technology for quantitative extraction of the arabinoxylans (AX) or AXOS from BSG. The AX yield increasedwith...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis kills more people than any other single pathogen, with an estimated one-third of the world's population being infected. Among those infected, only 10% will develop the disease. There are several demonstrations that susceptibility to tuberculosis is linked to host genetic factors in twins, family and associated-based case control studies. In the past years, there has been dramatic impr...
The association between seropositivity for Neospora caninum and pregnancy rate in cows belonging to a surrogate herd submitted to embryo transfer technology was determined. The serological status was evaluated in 275 heifers, aging from 14 to 20-month-old. For N. caninum serology analysis of a monoclonal competitive ELISA test Kit was used, and 81 animals (29.5%) showed seropositive. Thus, two groups were rando...
Verificou-se a freqüência e a distribuição de eqüídeos soropositivos para arterite viral eqüina (AVE) em 10 Delegacias Regionais do IMA no estado de Minas Gerais, por meio da técnica soroneutralização. A taxa de animais reagentes foi 0,85% (7/826) e em cada Delegacia Regional: Almenara (0,77%), Montes Claros (1,09%), Oliveira (2,12%), São Gonçalo do Sapucaí (2,22%), Teófilo Otoni (1,36%) e Viçosa (1,72%). O pre...
Determinaram-se os valores de referência e estudou-se a influência da idade sobre o eritrograma em fêmeas bovinas da raça Aquitânica. Amostras de sangue de 80 fêmeas bovinas, acima de 12 meses de idade, e não reagentes ao antígeno do vírus da leucose dos bovinos, foram colhidas utilizando-se EDTA como anticoagulante para realização das seguintes provas: contagem global das hemácias, determinação do volume globu...
Utilizou-se uma reação em cadeia de polimerase (PCR) previamente desenvolvida para a amplificação de parte da região única longa 27 (UL27) do genoma de herpesvírus bovino 1.1 (BoHV-1), que codifica a glicoproteína B, buscando a diferenciação entre isolados de BoHV-1.1 e BoHV-5. Os produtos de PCR gerados a partir de isolados de BoHV-1.1 e BoHV-5 mostraram padrão de amplificação diferenciado em seus tamanhos mol...
Amostras de sangue de 12 animais soropositivos pelo teste de imunodifusão em gel de agarose e que não apresentavam sinais clínicos sugestivos de infecção pelo vírus da artrite-encefalite caprina (CAEV) foram coletadas para isolamento viral. Mácrofagos derivados de monócitos foram co-cultivados com células de membrana sinovial caprina (MSC), resultando em cinco amostras que apresentaram efeito citopático caracte...
The age at menarche and several menstrual symptoms were reported by 516 Portuguese school girls who took part in a cross-sectional anthropometric study in Coimbra, Portugal. The mean ages of menarche calculated using the recall method and also using probit analysis were 12.53 1.27 and 12.03 1.26 years, respectively. Parents’ educational level, place of residence and size of the family did not have any significa...
This paper reports the detection of bovine herpesvirus type 5 (BoHV-5) by a specific nested PCR assay. Samples were collected from the central nervous system (CNS) of cattle from Minas Gerais and São Paulo States, Brazil. All animals died presenting neurological symptoms. Nineteen frozen CNS samples analyzed had been previously tested by fluorescence antibody test for rabies virus and showed negative results. T...
