| intermediary metabolic changes in rabbits administered linamarin or potassium cyanide. | since cassava (manihot esculenta crantz) is a staple food item of several million people in the tropics, its toxicity cannot be underestimated. therefore an attempt has been made to understand the metabolic changes caused by the chronic administration of sublethal doses linamarin, the principal cyanoglucoside of cassava, to rabbits. a significant rise in lactic acid and total cholesterol in liver and brain and a highly significant depletion of phospholipids of brain tissue was observed. there we ... | 1989 | 2632391 |
| [lipopigment in the adipose tissue of slaughtered swine]. | after feeding rests of slaughtered poultry together with whey, tapioca and residues of stark production to pigs 70% of the slaughtered pigs were refused by the meat inspection because of yellow fat and yellow hair. the occurrence of bile pigment, carotenoids and synthetic colours could be excluded while acid fast pigments were demonstrated in the fat tissue, liver and skeleton muscle. this could be confirmed by the peroxide number, acid number and the content of malondialdehyde and vitamin e. th ... | 1989 | 2653787 |
| insulin and glycemic responses in healthy humans to native starches processed in different ways: correlation with in vitro alpha-amylase hydrolysis. | the aim of the study was to elucidate how extracted starches submitted to food processing (or not) can influence plasma insulin and glucose responses in healthy subjects. native starches from wheat, manihot, smooth peas, or mung beans were tested either raw, as starch gels (boiled and cooled), or cooked and cooled after a preliminary industrial processing: extrusion cooking for wheat, tapioca for manihot, and noodles for mung beans. eighteen healthy subjects randomly assigned received three diff ... | 1989 | 2667315 |
| a pragmatic approach to improving small ruminant diets in the indonesian humid tropics. | research conducted since 1980 on the nutrition and feeding of kacang goats and javanese thintail sheep for meat production in indonesia is reviewed. feeding practices in three villages were monitored, along with animal production criteria, to better understand the limitations imposed by feed resource availability. village and experiment station data showed that native or cultivated tropical grasses fed alone did not support growth of young goats and that lambs fed napier grass alone grew at no m ... | 1989 | 2687217 |
| cassava root meal in diets for growing rabbits. | the effects of substituting imported cassava root meal for barley meal in rations for growing rabbits were examined. four diets were used. diet 1 contained 500 g/kg barley meal, the remainder of the diet consisted of soya bean meal, barley straw, vitamins and minerals. diets 2, 3 and 4 contained increasing amounts of cassava root meal in place of barley meal at 165, 335 and 500 g/kg respectively with l-lysine and dl methionine supplements. a growth trial was carried out using 48 individually cag ... | 1989 | 2711460 |

| relationship of a degenerative tropical neuropathy to diet: report of a field survey. | a survey of neurological abnormalities in two nigerian villages preselected for their differing consumption of cassava has shown that a degenerative neuropathy occurs with relatively high frequency in the village (ososa) where cassava consumption was high.it is suggested that eating cassava results in exposure to cyanide, as shown by a raised plasma thiocyanate level, and that the latter, together with other factors, may contribute to the pathogenesis of "tropical neuropathy." | 1969 | 5764702 |
