“…They conducted surveys for the digestibility of various fat supplements and checked varying levels of their consumption and their effects on the digestibility of other nutrients such as crude fiber, crude protein, etc (4,78,6). Results of numerous researches indicated that the addition of fat supplements to the diet had no effect on the apparent digestibility of cell wall contents (79,80), neutral detergent fibre (81,79,82,80,14,30) or acid-detergent fibre (79). However, other researchers reported an increase in apparent digestibility (83,4,84,6,(85)(86)(87) after the feeding diets containing fat.…”

To investigate the impacts of various sources of omega-3 on feed intake, digestibility, and blood metabolites in horses, this research was conducted. In this survey, 6 medium-sized Turkmen horses, aged 14 to 16 years, were used. The horses had no movement and health problems. This research was carried out in the form of a rotating design and included 3 periods, and each treatment had 2 repetitions in each period. In each experimental period, horses were randomly assigned to each of the 3 experimental treatments. The experimental treatments included C) Omega-3-free supplement (control treatment), R) Persialin flaxseed oil, and P) Persialin fat powder. At the beginning of each period, after the withdrawal period for the previous period, blood and feces samples were taken as the covariate factors, then the experimental treatments were consumed for 14 days, and after the adaptation to 100 grams of supplementing fat powder or flax seed oil, blood, and feces samples were taken at the end of the course. Fat supplements were added to the concentrate 1.5 hours before feeding the midday hay. The palatability was affected by the P treatment and was significantly lower than the R and C groups (P<0.05). But the difference between the two treatments (R and C) was insignificant in any of the periods. The digestibility of acid detergent insoluble fiber (ADF), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), and organic matter were not affected by any of the experimental treatments. Blood metabolites including glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, total protein, and blood urea nitrogen were not influenced by experimental treatments. The serum albumin concentration of horses was affected by the R treatment in the first and third periods, but no significant difference was observed between the treatments in the second period.

“…28 While only ∼5-10% is suspected to be free under normal conditions, 29 because Trp has a higher affinity for the BBB transporter than albumin, 28,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36] it has been estimated that as much as 75% of free Trp can cross the BBB. 37 And while total Trp usually does not change much, free Trp can change drastically. For example, changes in peripheral Trp can cause changes in free Trp in the central nervous system.…”

“…Approximately 75-85% (and as high as 95%) of Trp in the body is bound to albumin protein 29 . While only ~5-10% is suspected to be free under normal conditions 30 , because Trp has a higher affinity for the BBB transporter than albumin 29,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37] , it has been estimated that as much as 75% of free Trp can cross the BBB 38 . And whle total Trp usually does not change much, free Trp can change drastically.…”

Despite the fact that tryptophan is an essential amino acid that humans typically obtain through diet, there are several interesting tryptophan dynamics at play in the body. Quantifying and understanding these dynamics are crucial in studies of depression, autism spectrum disorder, and other disorders that involve neurotransmitters directly synthesized from tryptophan. Here we detail the optimization of waveform parameters in fast scan cyclic voltammetry at carbon fiber microelectrodes to yield four-fold higher sensitivity and six-fold higher selectivity compared to previously reported methods. We demonstrate the utility of our method in measuring tryptophan dynamics in two cell model systems.
