RESUMEN

Background: Several blood biomarkers have been related to the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D); however, their predictive value has seldom been assessed using data mining algorithms. Methods: This cohort study was conducted on 9704 participants recruited from the Mashhad Stroke and Heart Atherosclerotic disorders (MASHAD) study from 2010 to 2020. Individuals who were not between the ages of 35 and 65 were excluded. Serum levels of biochemical factors such as creatinine (Cr), high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP), Uric acid, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), direct and total bilirubin (BIL.D, BIL.T), lipid profile, besides body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), blood pressure, and age were evaluated through Logistic Regression (LR) and Decision Tree (DT) methods to develop a predicting model for T2D. Results: The comparison between diabetic and non-diabetic participants represented higher levels of triglyceride (TG), LDL, cholesterol, ALT, BIL.D, and Uric acid in diabetic cases (p-value < 0.05). The LR model indicated a significant association between TG, Uric acid, and hs-CRP, besides age, sex, WC, and blood pressure, hypertension and dyslipidemia history with T2D development. DT algorithm demonstrated dyslipidemia history as the most determining factor in T2D prediction, followed by age, hypertension history, Uric acid, and TG. Conclusion: There was a significant association between hypertension and dyslipidemia history, TG, Uric acid, and hs-CRP with T2D development, along with age, WC, and blood pressure through the LR and DT methods.

RESUMEN

Global cerebral ischemia (GCI) results in damage to the neurons and leads to cognitive impairments. Berberine (BBR) is known for its neuroprotective qualities. This study aimed to investigate the effects of BBR on memory, Blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, biochemical factors, and neuronal structure. Sixty-three adult male Wistar rats were divided randomly into Sham (21), GCI (21), and GCI + BBR (21) groups. The GCI + BBR group received 50 mg/kg of BBR for 7 days before and 6 h after 20 min of GCI induction. After 24 h, assessments included hippocampal neuronal structure, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) levels, memory performance, and BBB permeability. The GCI + BBR group reduced volume loss in the CA1 and its sublayers (oriens, pyramidal, and radiatum) compared to the GCI group (p < 0.0001, p < 0.001, p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively). Additionally, the GCI + BBR group showed higher pyramidal neuron density (p < 0.0001) and number (p < 0.0001) compared to the GCI group. BBR also decreased MDA levels (p < 0.0001) and increased CAT activity (p < 0.0001) in the GCI + BBR group compared to the GCI group, with GPX and SOD activity approaching Sham levels (p < 0.0001, both). BBR demonstrated significant improvements in short and long-term memory compared to the GCI group (p < 0.01, p < 0.0001, respectively). Furthermore, BBB permeability in the GCI + BBR group was significantly reduced compared to the GCI group (p < 0.0001). These findings demonstrated BBR's potential to protect the neurons in the CA1 and BBB structures, enhance antioxidant activity, and alleviate GCI-induced memory impairments.

RESUMEN

As novel substances, short time windows, and limits of detection increasingly challenge direct methods of doping detection in sports, indirect tools inevitably take a greater role in the fight against it. One such tool is the athlete biological passport (ABP) - a longitudinal profiling of the measured haematological and biochemical biomarkers, combined with calculated scores, against the background of epidemiological data crucial for doping detection. In both of its modules, haematological and steroidal, ABP parameters are analysed with the Bayesian adaptive model, which individualises reference and cut-off values to improve its sensitivity. It takes into account the confounding factors with proven and potential influence on the biomarkers, such as race and altitude exposure. The ABP has already changed the fight against doping, but its importance will further grow with the new modules (e.g., endocrinological), parameters (e.g., plasma volume-independent parameters), and complementing indirect methods (e.g., transcriptomic).

RESUMEN

Cardiovascular disease stemmed from atherosclerosis (AS) is well recognized to be the predominant cause of global death. To comprehensively clarify the pathogenesis of AS, exploit effective drugs, as well as develop therapeutic solutions, various atherosclerotic models were constructed in vitro and widely utilized by the scientific community. Compared with animal models, the in vitro atherosclerotic models play a prominent role not only in the targeted research of single pathological factor related to AS in the human derived system, but also in the combined study on multipathological factors leading to AS, thereby contributing tremendously to the in-depth elucidation of atherosclerotic pathological process. In the current review, a variety of pathological factors incorporated into the existing atherosclerotic models in vitro are broadly elaborated, including the pathological mechanism, in vitro simulation approaches, and the desired improvement perspectives for reproducing each pathological factor. In addition, this review also summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of current atherosclerotic models as well as their potential functionality. Finally, the promising aspects for future atherosclerotic models in vitro with potential advances are also discussed.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Long COVID is characterized by the persistence of symptoms among individuals who are infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The enduring impact of these long-term effects on the health and well-being of those affected cannot be denied. METHOD: About 470 patients with SARS-CoV-2 were consecutively recruited in this longitudinal study. The participants were entered into moderate, severe, and critical groups. 235 out of 470 participants were female. The levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), alanine transaminase (SGPT), aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatinine (Cr), urea, uric acid (UA), and total protein (TP) were measured during hospitalization and again at one and three months after infection. The levels of Zn and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were also measured only during hospitalization. RESULT: COVID-19 severity was associated with high levels of glucose, urea, Cr, ALT, AST, ALP, and HbA1c, and low levels of Zn, UA, and TP. There were significant sex differences for these markers at all three-time points. Glucose, urea, Cr, ALT, AST, and ALP all decreased three months after infection, whereas the levels of UA and TP returned towards normal. CONCLUSION: COVID-19 infection affects the levels of multiple biochemical factors in a gender-dependent manner. The biochemical changes become more tangible with increasing disease severity, and several of these predict mortality. Levels begin to return to normal after the acute phase of the disease, but in some individuals, at three months, several markers were still not within the normal range. Whether the trajectory of these changes can predict long COVID requires further testing.

RESUMEN

Skin wound is always accompanied with nerve damage, leading to significant sensory function loss. Currently, the functional matrix material based stem cell transplantation and in situ nerve regeneration are thought to be effective strategies, of which, how to recruit stem cells, retard senescence, and promote neural differentiation has been obstacle to be overcome. However, the therapeutic efficiency of the reported systems has yet to be improved and side effect reduced. Herein, a conduit matrix with three-dimensional ordered porous structures, regular porosity, appropriate mechanical strength, and conductive features was prepared by orienting the freezing technique, which was further filled with neural-directing exosomes to form a neural-stimulating matrix for providing hybrid physical-biochemical stimulations. This neural-stimulating matrix was then compacted with methacrylate gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel thin coat that loaded with chemokines and anti-senescence drugs, forming a multi-functional artificial niche (termed as GCr-CSL) that promotes MSCs recruitment, anti-senescence, and neural differentiation. GCr-CSL was shown to rapidly enhances in situ nerve regeneration in skin wound therapy, and with great potential in promoting sensory function recovery. This study demonstrates proof-of-concept in building a biomimetic niche to organize endogenous MSCs recruitment, differentiation, and functionalization for fast neurological and sensory recovery.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Corona virus causes respiratory tract infections in mammals. The latest type of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona-viruses 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Corona virus spread in humans in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and their biochemical and hematological factors with the level of infection with COVID-19 to improve the treatment and management of the disease. MATERIAL AND METHOD: This study was conducted on a population of 13,170 including 5780 subjects with SARS-COV-2 and 7390 subjects without SARS-COV-2, in the age range of 35-65 years. Also, the associations between biochemical factors, hematological factors, physical activity level (PAL), age, sex, and smoking status were investigated with the COVID-19 infection. RESULT: Data mining techniques such as logistic regression (LR) and decision tree (DT) algorithms were used to analyze the data. The results using the LR model showed that in biochemical factors (Model I) creatine phosphokinase (CPK) (OR: 1.006 CI 95% (1.006,1.007)), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (OR: 1.039 CI 95% (1.033, 1.047)) and in hematological factors (Model II) mean platelet volume (MVP) (OR: 1.546 CI 95% (1.470, 1.628)) were significant factors associated with COVID-19 infection. Using the DT model, CPK, BUN, and MPV were the most important variables. Also, after adjustment for confounding factors, subjects with T2DM had higher risk for COVID-19 infection. CONCLUSION: There was a significant association between CPK, BUN, MPV and T2DM with COVID-19 infection and T2DM appears to be important in the development of COVID-19 infection.

RESUMEN

Contamination of cereals with tebuconazole (TEB) can affect the dietary risk assessment. This study investigates, for the first time, how mechanical, thermal, physical-chemical, and biochemical processes affect the TEB level in wheat, rye, and barley. The biochemical process of malting was the most effective for tebuconazole reduction (by 86%) in cereals. Thermal processes were also effective, i.e., boiling (70%) and baking (55%). These processes considerably decreased the concentration of tebuconazole, and Procesing Factors (PFs) were from 0.10 to 0.18 (malting), 0.56 to 0.89 (boiling), and 0.44 to 0.45 (baking), respectively. The concentration of TEB was not reduced after the application of mechanical processing. The risk was estimated in dietary exposure assessment on the basis of the highest reported levels of tebuconazole residues bread. At a high level of rye bread consumption, the potential exposure to tebuconazole reached only 3.5% and 2.7% in children and adults, respectively.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between calcium metabolism-related biochemical factors (alkaline phosphatase, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, phosphorus and magnesium), and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disk displacement with reduction (DDWR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective observational study included patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) (n = 50) and healthy controls (n = 50) of similar age and sex. The diagnosis of TMJ DDWR was made using the diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular joint disorders (DC/TMD). Both groups were compared in terms of serum alkaline phosphatase, 25 (OH) vitamin D, PTH, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus levels. P<0.005 was accepted as a significant difference. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of age, gender, and body mass index (BMI). Calcium levels of patients with TMD were statistically significantly lower than control patients (p<0.05). While there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of mean VIT D, the number of people with severe Vit D deficiency (<10 ng) in the TMD group was significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of serum alkaline phosphatase, magnesium, phosphorus and PTH levels. CONCLUSION: The differences in serum calcium and vitamin D levels seen in the study indicate that biochemical factors related to calcium metabolism may be associated with TMJ DDWR. These results suggest that calcium and vitamin D deficiency should be evaluated and corrected in patients with TMD.

RESUMEN

The mechanism for selection of the future dominant or ovulatory follicle in mares involves a relatively abrupt separation in growth rates between the future dominant follicle and several subordinate follicles and is termed diameter deviation. The event is used to illustrate that a coordinated complex of many follicular, hormonal, and biochemical factors interact and interbalance during a single physiological mechanism. For example, a positive effect of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) on development of all follicles during the growing phase can later involve a positive effect of luteinizing hormone (LH) but apparently only on the future dominant follicle. In turn, the developing and future dominant follicle produces estradiol which at appropriate times and degrees reduces FSH concentrations to accommodate follicle functions at certain levels of FSH. Meanwhile, the estradiol prevents LH from increasing from a useful to an adverse concentration. These interactions enmesh with the production and roles of other factors (e.g., inhibin, insulin-like growth factor) during follicle selection. The wide array of morphological, hormonal, and biochemical activities occur in harmony even when in the same tissue and often at the same time.

RESUMEN

The importance and implications of small animal neonatology were underestimated until recent times. Despite the recent increasing interest for this branch of veterinary medicine, however, perinatal mortality rates in canine and feline species remain high, representing an important challenge for the clinician. In this perspective, the prompt identification of newborns requiring additional and tailored assistance becomes a key to reduce the perinatal losses in small animals. To achieve this goal, clinical and laboratory findings must be carefully evaluated. This paper focuses on biochemical parameters and their reported influence on neonatal survival, guiding through the evaluation of canine and feline newborn laboratory analyses, with a thorough discussion about the use of different biological material in these subjects. Beside blood, other biological material, such as urines and fetal fluids proved to be interesting for the identification of possible prognostic markers, thanks also to their easy and safe collection. However, the correct reading-through the results must consider many variables such as type of delivery, anesthesia protocol in case of Caesarean section, age of the newborn at samples collection, and for blood analysis, also the type of blood, site of collection, modality of collection and storage must be considered. Notwithstanding the recent progress in literature, for most of the parameters more research is needed to define cut-off values with certainty.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Of all psychiatric disorders, schizophrenia is associated with the highest risk of all-cause mortality. This study aimed to investigate independent risk factors for all-cause mortality in patients with chronic schizophrenia. In addition, the possible causal inter-relationships among these independent risk factors and all-cause mortality were also explored. Methods: We conducted an analysis of 1,126 patients with chronic schizophrenia from our psychiatric department from April 2003 to August 2022, and retrospectively reviewed their medical records. The study endpoint was all-cause mortality. Baseline clinical characteristics including sociodemographic data, biochemical data, lifestyle factors, comorbidities and antipsychotic treatment were examined with Cox proportional hazards analysis. Results: The all-cause mortality rate was 3.9% (44 patients). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that several factors were independently associated with all-cause mortality, including diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, heart failure, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, ileus, underweight, fasting glucose, triglycerides, albumin, and hemoglobin. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis revealed that several factors had statistically significant direct effects on all-cause mortality. Heart failure, hypertension, underweight, age at onset, and ileus showed positive direct effects, while albumin and hemoglobin demonstrated negative direct effects. In addition, several factors had indirect effects on all-cause mortality. GERD indirectly affected all-cause mortality through ileus, and peptic ulcer disease had indirect effects through albumin and ileus. Ileus, underweight, DM, and hypertension also exhibited indirect effects through various pathways involving albumin, hemoglobin, and heart failure. Overall, the final model, which included these factors, explained 13% of the variability in all-cause mortality. Discussion: These results collectively suggest that the presence of DM, hypertension, heart failure, GERD, peptic ulcer disease, ileus, and underweight, along with lower levels of albumin or hemoglobin, were independently associated with all-cause mortality. The SEM analysis further revealed potential causal pathways and inter-relationships among these risk factors contributing to all-cause mortality in patients with chronic schizophrenia.

RESUMEN

Background: Transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) is the suggested treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) not amenable to curative treatments. We investigated the role of sarcopenia on overall survival in HCC patients receiving TACE and proposed a new prognostic scoring system incorporating sarcopenia. Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed 260 HCC patients who received TACE between 2010 and 2015. Total psoas muscle was measured on a cross-sectional CT image before the first TACE session. Sarcopenia was defined by the pre-determined sex-specific cutoff value. We assessed the impact of sarcopenia and other biochemical factors on the overall survival and compared the new scoring system with other prognostic scoring systems. Results: One hundred and thirty patients (50%) were classified as sarcopenia before the first TACE. They were older with a higher male tendency and a significantly lower body mass index (BMI). Cox regression multivariate analysis demonstrated that sarcopenia, multiple tumors, maximal tumor diameter≥ 5cm, major venous thrombosis, sarcopenia, AFP ≥ 200 ng/ml, and albumin<3.5mg/dL were independent poor prognostic factors for overall survival in HCC patients receiving TACE. Our scoring system comprising these factors outperformed other major scoring systems in terms of predicting survival after TACE. Conclusion: The current study demonstrated that sarcopenia was an independent prognostic factor for HCC undergoing TACE therapy. Our newly developed scoring system could effectively predict patient survival after TACE. Physicians could, based on the current score model, carefully select candidate patients for TACE treatment in order to optimize their survival. Further studies are warranted to validate our findings.

RESUMEN

Myofibrillar protein (MP), as the main meat protein, have high nutritional value. However, the relatively poor solubility of MP at low ionic strength sometimes limits the utilization of MP to produce products rich in meat protein. Accordingly, appropriate modification of MP is needed to improve their functional properties. In general, MP modification strategies are categorized into biochemical and physical approaches. Different from other available reviews, the review focuses on summarizing the principles and applications of several techniques of physical modification, briefly depicting biochemical modification as a comparison. Modification of MP with a certain intensity of direct current magnetic field, ultrasound, high pressure, microwave, or radio frequency can improve solubility, emulsification, stability, and gel formation. Of these, magnetic field and microwave-modified MP have shown some potential in reducing salt in meat. These physical techniques can also have synergistic effects with other conditions (temperature, pH, physical or chemical techniques) to compensate for the deficiencies of individual treatment techniques. However, these strategies still need further research for practical applications.HIGHLIGHTSThe current status and findings of research on direct current magnetic field in meat processing are presented.Several physical strategies to modify the microstructure and functional properties of MPs.The synergistic effects of these techniques in combination with other methods to modify MPs are discussed.

RESUMEN

Obesity is one of the most important global health problems causing serious health risks and early death in human. It is also associated with disturbance of homeostasis of hormones and immunological biochemical factors inside the human body. This study aimed to evaluate the serum level of inhibin B and kisspeptin among Iraqi obese adult people and other biochemical parameters correlated with obesity. Inhibin B and levels of kisspeptin were evaluated in the samples of serum from 40 Iraqi obese adult patients and 30 healthy non-obese individuals. A significant decrease (P<0.0001) was observed in the kisspeptin level in both males and females, compared to the control group. Moreover, inhibin B decreased significantly in obese females only (P<0.001), while there was no differences between males and the control group in this regard. Finally, body mass index, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), and leptin showed negative correlation with kisspeptin (0.01, 0.5, and 0.01), respectively. However, a positive association was observed with the level of Ca in the serum. On the other hand, inhibin B confirmed a positive correlation with SGPT. The present study revealed a significant increase in inhibin B and kisspeptin, with SGPT and Ca in the serum of obese patients, which could lead to complications and health problems among these patients.

RESUMEN

This study aimed to determine the potential effects of alfalfa saponins on the production performance, serum biochemical factors, and immune factors in sheep. Twenty Small-Tailed Han sheep were equally and randomly divided into Groups 1-4, fed with diets containing 0, 5, 10, and 20 g alfalfa saponins per kg, respectively, for 40 consecutive days. During the treatments, the body weight change was recorded for each sheep. Before, during, and after the treatments of alfalfa saponins, serum was collected from each group to compare the levels of biochemical and immune factors. All sheep were killed after the treatments, and the longissimus dorsi muscle was collected to compare the meat quality. The results validated the effects of alfalfa saponins on the growth performance and meat quality in Small-Tailed Han sheep, and the supplementation level of 10 g/kg was the best. Alfalfa saponins also had effects on the levels of biochemical factors in serum. However, both dose- and time-dependent effects were observed. After a shorter feeding period (14 days), the concentrations of cholesterol (CHOL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in Groups 2, 3, and 4 were all lower than those in the control group; however, when alfalfa saponins were continuously fed, this effect was not apparent or even gone. Supplying alfalfa saponins increased serum concentrations of IgA, IgG, IgE, IgM, IL-1, IFN-α, and IFN-ß. And this effect was distinctly observed in Groups 3 and 4. Based on the current results, the alfalfa saponins concentration of 10 g/kg (for 14 consecutive days) could be suggested as the optimum ratio for good health conditions of Small-Tailed Han sheep.

RESUMEN

Due to the growth of diabetic mellitus (DM) and diabetic nephropathy as a significant complication for diabetic patients, study on effective treatment with fewer side effects has been fascinated. In this study for the first time carvedilol effects on both function and structure of kidney in diabetic nephropathy treatment were evaluated. Diabetes was induced by injection of streptozotocin (STZ) intravenously in rats and three groups including control, diabetic, and treatment with carvedilol were considered. Biochemical parameters such as, blood glucose level, BUN, creatinine, uric acid, Na+, K+ was determined. Results showed that glucose (516 to 291 mg/dl), BUN (42 to 21.67 mg/dl), creatinine (0.75 to 0.6 mg/dl), uric acid (4.45 to 1.36 mg/dl), and K+ (7.433 to 5.433 mEq/l) level reduced. Decrease in glucose, BUN, creatinine, uric acid, and K+ and increase in Na+ level (138 to 146.33 mEq/l) confirmed therapeutic effect of carvedilol. Furthermore, the histopathological study was done for each group. Histopathological results confirmed the data obtained by biochemical parameters. For further investigation, SPECT imaging with 99mTc-DMSA, which is a gold standard in diabetic nephropathy detection, was done. SPECT imaging showed that accumulation of 99mTc-DMSA was increased in treated group (5 to 25 kcpm) which means the improvement in renal structure in the treated group compare to the diabetic group (5 kcpm). Finally, obtained results confirmed our hypothesis that carvedilol had a therapeutic effect on diabetic nephropathy.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is a necrosis of the femoral head which affects the range of motion of the hips. Its incidence is variable, ranging from 0.4/100,000 to 29.0/ 100,000 children. Although LCPD was first described in the beginning of the past century, limited is known about its etiology. Our objective is to describe the main areas of interest in Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. METHODS: A review of the literature regarding LCPD etiology was performed, considering the following inclusion criteria: Studies reporting clinical or preclinical results. The research group carried out a filtered search on the PubMed and Science Direct databases. To maximize the suitability of the search results, we combined the terms ''Perthes disease" OR "LCPD" OR "children avascular femoral head necrosis" with "diagnostic" OR "treatment" OR "etiology" as either key words or MeSH terms. RESULTS: In this article been described some areas of interest in LCPD, we include topics such as: history, incidence, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and possible etiology, since LCPD has an unknown etiology. CONCLUSIONS: This review suggests that LCPD has a multifactorial etiology where environmental, metabolic and genetic agents could be involved.

RESUMEN

Tumor microenvironment is a multicomponent system consisting of tumor cells, noncancer cells, extracellular matrix, and signaling molecules, which hosts tumor cells with integrated biophysical and biochemical elements. Because of its critical involvement in tumor genesis, invasion, metastasis, and resistance, the tumor microenvironment is emerging as a hot topic of tumor biology and a prospective therapeutic target. Unfortunately, the complex of microenvironment modeling in vitro is technically challenging and does not effectively generalize the local tumor tissue milieu. Recently, significant advances in microfluidic technologies have provided us with an approach to imitate physiological systems that can be utilized to mimic the characterization of tumor responses with pathophysiological relevance in vitro. In this review, we highlight the recent progress and innovations in microfluidic technology that facilitates the tumor microenvironment study. We also discuss the progress and future perspective of microfluidic bionic approaches with high efficiency for the study of tumor microenvironment and the challenges encountered in cancer research, drug discovery, and personalized therapy.

RESUMEN

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of increasing dietary neutral detergent fiber (NDF) levels on pregnant sows, and to select the best feed ingredients based on reproductive performance, plasma biochemistry parameters, colostrum and milk composition, and nutrient digestibility. Seventy-two multiparous sows were randomly allotted to six dietary treatment groups (n = 12). The feeding of chicory meal (CM), wheat bran (WB), corn gluten, and rice bran meal (RBM) increased the average weaning weight of piglets compared with the control (CON) group (p < 0.05). Supplementation with CG diet increased the sow BW, weight gain, and back fat thickness compared with WB and RBM on day 107 of gestation (p < 0.05). Furthermore, Supplementation with CG diet resulted in lower plasma urea nitrogen (PUN) and higher total protein (TP) concentrations in plasma (p < 0.05). Feeding CM diet and soybean curd residue (SCR) diet reduced the total protein and globulin, and supplementation with CM diet significantly increased the PUN (p < 0.05). The apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of crude protein (CP), crude fat (EE), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) were decreased following the addition of CM, WB, or SCR to the diets (p < 0.05). The ATTD of NDF and ADF were significantly increased in the CG group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the feeding of CG diet to sows have an excellent effect.
