Safe Dosage of Caprine CSN1S2 Protein from Fresh Local Goat Milk for Rats Evaluated by Acute and Sub-Chronic Toxicity Testing
Journal Title: Journal of Mathematical and Fundamental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 49, Issue 1
Abstract
Caprine milk CSN1S2 protein contains bioactive peptides that have a specific function in regulating the metabolic homeostasis mechanism between different organs. However, the safe dosage of goat milk consumption has not been established previously. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safe dosage of caprine CSN1S2 protein from fresh local goat milk using acute and repeated doses (for 4 weeks) in oral toxicity studies on three month old normal Wistar rats. The CSN1S2 protein was isolated from fresh goat milk. This casein protein administered in a single oral gavage dose to 5 rat groups at a daily dose of 0, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 mg/kg BW for acute and 28-day sub-chronic toxicity testing of rats of both sexes. The result showed no evident mortality or abnormal effects. Data analysis of body weight, water and food intake, blood biochemical parameters, clinical observation and organ weight revealed no significant differences between all groups for both sexes. The weights of some organs showed differences between groups, but these values were within the normal weight ranges. The conclusion is that caprine CSN1S2 from fresh milk is safe for food consumption because there was no indication of toxicity, no mortality, and no hematological and clinical chemistry changes.

Enhanced Hydrogen Storage Capacity over Electro-synthesized HKUST-1
HKUST-1 [Cu3(1,3,5-BTC)2] (BTC = benzene-tri-carboxylate) was synthesized using an electrochemical method and tested for hydrogen storage. The obtained material showed a remarkably higher hydrogen uptake over reported HK...
Some New Operations of (α,β,γ) Interval Cut Set of Interval Valued Neutrosophic Sets
In this paper, we define the disjunctive sum, difference and Cartesian product of two interval valued neutrosophic sets and study their basic properties. The notions of the (α,β,γ) interval cut set of interval valued neu...

Introduction of Interpolation and Extrapolation Model in Lanczos-type Algorithms A13/B6 and A13/B13 to Enhance their Stability
A new method to treat the inherent instability of Lanczos-type algorithms is introduced. It enables us to capture the properties of the sequence of iterates generated by a Lanczos-type algorithm by interpolating on this...
