Abstract Mineral content affects the biological processes underlying beef quality. Muscle mineral concentration depends not only on intake-outtake balance and muscle type, but also age, environment, breed, genetic factors. To unveil factors involved in concentration, we applied a pairwise differential gene expression analysis groups of Nelore steers genetically divergent for nine different concentrations. Here, based significant differences between contrasting groups, presented candidate...
Background Ruminants harbor a complex microbial community within their gastrointestinal tract, which plays major roles in health and physiology. Brazil is one of the largest producers beef world more than 90% cattle herds are composed pure crossbred Nelore ( Bos indicus ). Despite its importance to Brazilian economy human feeding, few studies have characterized microbiome. Therefore, using shotgun metagenomics, we investigated impact diet on composition functionality microbiome, explored...
Purpose To evaluate and compare two types of different scaffolds in critical bone defects rats. Methods Seventy male Wistar rats (280 ± 20 grams) divided into three groups: control group (CG), untreated animals; biomaterial 1 (BG1), animals that received the scaffold implanted hydroxyapatite (HA)/poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA); 2 (BG2), HA/PLGA/Bleed. The defect was induced medial region skull calotte with aid an 8-mm-diameter trephine drill. form 1.5 mm thick scaffolds, samples were...
Nelore is a Bos indicus beef breed that well-adapted to tropical environments and constitutes most of the world's largest commercial cattle herd: Brazilian bovine herd. Despite its significance, microbial genome recovery from ruminant microbiomes has largely excluded representatives cattle. To address this gap, study presents comprehensive dataset genomes recovered rumen feces 52 bulls. A total 1,526 non-redundant metagenome-assembled (MAGs) were their gastrointestinal tract, with 497...
Recent advances in image analysis and pattern recognition have paved the way to several developments plant science. In present work, we report comparative study, by using aforementioned approaches, of vascular bundles Dracaena marginata. More specifically, used 33 measurements related shape, density regularity imaged cross-sections stem. By individual, pairwise PCA projections adopted measurements, were able find combinations leading best separation between considered tissues. particular,...
Introduction The trematode Schistosoma mansoni causes schistosomiasis, and this parasite’s life cycle depends on the mollusk Biomphalaria glabrata. most effective treatment for infected people is administering a single dose of Praziquantel. However, there are naturally resistant to treatment. This work has developed, considering complex cycle. Methods synthetics compound were evaluated: i) during infection B. glabrata , ii) BALB /c mice, iii) mice with S. mansoni. Results Discussion For...
