Attenuation of Zn-induced hyperleptinemia/leptin resistance in Wistar rat after feeding modified Poultry Egg
Nutrition & metabolism, 2012Co-Authors: Satish Kumar Taneja, Reshu Mandal, Aman ChechiAbstract:Background: The prevalence of obesity is increasing exponentially world over. Leptin resistance/hyperleptinemia is attributed to its cause in majority of the obese humans where mutation in genetic component or ob gene has not been found operative. The generation of oxidative stress was suggested as its cause. In our previous study, we have reported that the inclusion of antioxidant enriched modified Poultry Egg (ME) in diet reversed the ionic imbalance and ameliorated the oxidative stress caused by excessive Zn in diet. In the present study, the efficacy of ME verses conventional Egg (CE) was tested on Zn-induced leptin resistance in rat model to ascertain if the supplementation of antioxidants in the form of Egg can reverse Zn-induced leptin resistance to leptin sensitive state. Methods: Hyperleptinemia was induced in rats by feeding them Zn-supplemented hyperleptinemic diets-I and II (Zn-HL-Diet) for 2 months. Thereafter, half of them were fed either on CE or ME mixed Zn-HL-diets I and II for another two months. The data was analyzed applying one way Anova and Tukey’s HSD post hoc test. Results: The results revealed that food intake, gain in body weight, height and number/unit surface area of intestinal microvillus and serum leptin, glucose, insulin and cortisol were higher in CE and Zn-HL-Diet treated groups; serum Zn, Cu, Mg were higher and Cu and Mg in tissues were lower in them than the control group. In ME treated groups, these parameters were lower and were close to the control group. These changes resulted from the restoration of ionic balance of Zn, Cu and Mg in the blood serum and tissues including liver and hair in ME treated rats. Conclusion: The data suggest that Zn-induced leptin resistance can be attenuated through restoring the ionic balance of Zn, Cu and Mg through inclusion of antioxidants in diet such as these modified Eggs. But further clinical studies are required before they are put to use for human consumption.

Attenuation of Zn-Induced Acute Pancreatitis in Wistar Rat Fed on Cu- and Mg- Enriched Modified Poultry $$Egg^{\Psi } $$
Biological Trace Element Research, 2008Co-Authors: Satish Kumar Taneja, Reshu MandalAbstract:Zinc (Zn) consumption has increased in many populations either due to the increased intake of Zn-fortified foods as in the USA or in agricultural food stuffs as in some Indian states during the last decade. Its excessive intake has been reported to induce acute pancreatitis (AP) in many studies due to increase in oxidative stress that was further reported to cause Cu and Mg deficiencies. This led us to design a modified Poultry Egg (ME^Ψ) enriched with Cu and Mg along with other antioxidants, and its efficacy on Zn-induced AP was studied in male Wistar rats. In one set, the rats were fed on equacaloric semi-synthetic basal diet containing 20 mg Zn/kg diet (control, group I), and Zn-induced AP-I diet and AP-II diet containing 40 and 80 mg Zn/kg diet (groups II and III) for 180 days, respectively. In another set, the rats were initially fed on Zn-induced AP-I and AP-II diets for 90 days and then shifted to $${\text{ME}}^\Psi $$ -mixed Zn-induced AP-I and AP-II diets in groups IIME and IIIME for another 90 days. At the end of the experiment, data displayed increased serum and urinary Zn, Cu, and Mg levels in groups II and III rats, which were reduced and approached closer to control group I after $${\text{ME}}^\Psi $$ feeding in groups IIME and IIIME rats. Transmission electron microscopic studies of acinar cells revealed progressive dilation, vesicularization, and degeneration of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and decrease in zymogen granules (ZG) in groups II and III rats in contrast to their curvilinear or concentric long parallel running cisternal profile of ER in control group I. The treatment of $${\text{ME}}^\Psi $$ helped in the restoration of the ER profile and ZG number, approaching closer to the control group I. The degree of recovery was dependent upon the degree of toxicity caused by the amount of Zn given in the diet. The results of this study suggest that $${\text{ME}}^\Psi $$ -mixed diet can protect the acinar cells from the deleterious effects of Zn by decreasing the oxidative stress.

An Ultrasound Based Technique for the Determination of Poultry Egg Quality
Research in Agricultural Engineering, 2018Co-Authors: Mohammad Aboonajmi, Seyed Kamaledin Setarehdan, T. Nishizu, N. Kondo, Asadollah Akram, Ali RajabipourAbstract:Aboonajmi M., Akram A., Nishizu T., Kondo N., Setarehdan S.K., Rajabipour A., 2010. An ultrasound based technique for the determination of Poultry Egg quality . Res. Agr. Eng., 56: 26–32. The present study investigates the possibility of the non-destructive prediction of the main quality indices of commercial Eggs by calculating the ultrasound phase velocity within the Egg material. The phase velocity of the ultrasound signal in the Egg material was determined by analysing the recorded ultrasound signals using the Fast Fourier Transform. Three hundred commercial Eggs (Boris Brown, 33 weeks age) from the first day of Egg laying were purchased from a farm and divided in two groups. The first group was kept at the room temperature (22–25°C) and the second group was kept in a refrigerator (5°C). Every week, 25 Eggs from both the room and the refrigerator were first submitted to the non-destructive ultrasound test at weekly basis at the room temperature. Immediately after testing, the air cell, the thick albumen heights, the Haugh unit and the yolk index of the Eggs were also determined destructively for the comparison purposes. The results were analysed to find any possible correlation between the computed ultrasonic phase velocity and the destructive parameters, during a storage period of five weeks. The tests were carried out using an ultrasound beam with a frequency of 150 kHz with a sampling rate of 2.5 Gs/S on the Eggs under a controlled temperature situ ation. Significant differences between the means of the destructive analysis on different days of the Eggs storage were found using ANOVA. The results showed that the phase velocity significantly differs between the Eggs stored at the room temperature and those stored in the refrigerator. It was found that the phase velocity decreased as the storage time of the Eggs increased in three consecutive weeks.

quality assessment of Poultry Egg based on visible near infrared spectroscopy and radial basis function networks
International Journal of Food Properties, 2016Co-Authors: Mohammad Aboonajmi, Amir Saberi, Tooraj Abbasian Najafabadi, Naoshi KondoAbstract:In this research the possibility of a non-destructive prediction of two main quality parameters of Poultry Egg using principle component analysis and radial basis function network by the transmission visible–near infrared spectroscopy method was investigated. The studied parameters include Haugh unit and air cell height as a function of a 5-week storage duration at room (25°C and 40% relative humidity) and refrigerator (5°C and 75% relative humidity) conditions. The spectra were interpreted and a radial basis function network model was developed for both storage conditions at wavelength ranges of 300–1100 nm. The developed models yielded a good prediction accuracy of Haugh unit for intact Egg (R2 value 0.745 and 0.76) as well as air cell height (R2 value 0.835 and 0.844) for room and refrigerator conditions, respectively. Results of the experiment showed the developed model can be used in the prediction of Egg freshness indices satisfactorily.

prediction of Poultry Egg freshness using vis nir spectroscopy with maximum likelihood method
International Journal of Food Properties, 2014Co-Authors: Mohammad Aboonajmi, Tooraj Abbasian NajafabadiAbstract:Crucial physio-chemical changes occuring in Eggs during storage after laying lead to loss of Egg freshness. In this research, a new method for prediction of Egg freshness using transmission visible near infrared spectroscopy was investigated. For this purpose 300 Eggs were stored at two control conditions: refrigerator (4–5°C, 75%RH) and room (24–25°C, 40%RH) then by special Egg holder, transmission spectroscopy was measured. For two Eggs groups, 25 Eggs in each group, in six days were tested by spectroscopy, after that Haugh unit and air cell height was measured directly. The non-destructive visible near infrared spectroscopy spectral measurements from 300 to 1100 nm (832 length of wave) were done as well as Haugh unit, air cell height for each Egg and created the database for both environments. Finally a maximum likelihood latent root regression algorithm was developed to predict Haugh unit and air cell height by spectrum observation. The database was randomly divided into two parts. Training data, was ...

Prediction of Poultry Egg Freshness Using Ultrasound
International Journal of Food Properties, 2014Co-Authors: Mohammad Aboonajmi, Seyed Kamaledin Setarehdan, Asadolah Akram, T. Nishizu, N. KondoAbstract:A non-destructive ultrasound based method was used to develop a model for Poultry Egg freshness assessment. The proposed model can predict the Haugh unit, albumen thickness, air-cell height, and a number of other Egg quality parameters by computing the ultrasound phase velocity within the Egg material. For this purpose, the effect of the storage time on the ultrasound phase velocity within the Poultry Eggs together with the peak values of the transmitted ultrasound signals in the time and frequency domains were considered as indicators of Egg freshness. Tests were conducted on Eggs that were stored for five weeks in different storage conditions. The computed parameters were used to develop different models to predict the number of storage days for the Egg samples. The results showed that the amplitude of the main peaks of the ultrasound signal in the time domain increased by the number of storage days. Moreover, there was a significant difference between the mean values of the phase velocities obtained at...
