In homeostasis, which plays an important role in the proper functioning and maintenance of internal body, kidneys play a key being responsible for homeostasis glucose. Among glucose transporters, sodium-dependent co-transporters (SGLTs) have major kidney's ability to reabsorb Although localization these transporters has been extensively studied mammals, there are still gaps knowledge SGLTs birds different age groups. The aim this study was immunolocalize hen chickens ages SGLT1 SGLT2,...

The role of goblet cell secretion, containing mucopolysaccharides, in the formation a protective barrier intestinal mucosa and transportation content has been described quite extensively. However, information on quality composition mucopolysaccharides its changes tract ostrich chicks, especially large segments, is unavailable. In current study, embryos/chicks (n = 6/36) both sexes were used shortly before hatching during first months post-hatch period. Tissues for histology taken from...

As traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the major causes permanent disability, there increasing interest in long-term outcome TBI. While motor deficits, cognitive impairment and longer-term risks neurodegenerative disease are well-established consequences animal models TBI, pain discussed less often despite its high prevalence. The current study addresses need to characterize extent chronic behavioral impairments induced by moderate lateral fluid percussion (latFPI) mice up 12 months...

Peptides of the gastrointestinal tract play a significant role in digestive processes and development body; therefore, it is important to have an understanding location distribution gastrin, somatostatin glucagon immunoreactive (IR) cells stomach mucosa growing birds. For this purpose, 6 embryos 37 chicks from ostrich farm Latvia were used. Tissue samples collected proventriculus - superficial deep glandular region ventriculus side wall pyloric region. The number was determined 10 mucosal...

High-yielding cow rations under intensive production conditions contribute to the development of subacute rumen acidosis (SARA), leading pathologies such as rumenitis, laminitis, reproductive disorders, loss productivity and reduced longevity. The aim this work is develop a reticulo-ruminal long-acting cyber-physical system for monitoring parameters. Three scientific institutions in cooperation with two farmers conduct research order create prototype low-power wireless sensor network early...

Abstract The knowledge about transport of sugars in animals and birds gastrointestinal tract is very important for science as carbohydrates are the main energy source food. Since until now there few information localization glucose transporters - integral membrane proteins that mediate related substances across cellular membranes tract, aim present study was to localize transporters-2 -5 (GLUT-2 -5) three parts ostriches – proventriculus, duodenum ileum comparatively ostrich chicken their...

Although patterns of glucose transporter expression and notes about diseases leading to adaptive changes in intestinal fructose transport have been well-characterized, the connection between infection transportation has lightly investigated. Up now only few studies on GLUT-5 function under pathological conditions bird intestines carried out. The aim our current research was immunolocalize chicken duodenal epithelium norm during T-2 mycotoxicosis. Material from (Gallus gallus domesticus)...

An essential role in proper homeostasis of glucose is played by kidneys where tranport carried out across cell membranes two families tansporters - facilitated diffusion transporters (GLUTs) and Na (+) -dependent co-transporters (SGLT family). Among transporters, sodium-dependent have a major the kidney ‘s ability to reabsorb glucose. Although localization has been extensively studied mammals there are still gaps knowledge SGLTs birds. The aim reasarch was study comparatively...

Abstract The biopsy of live animal testes is an important clinical manipulation to control spermatogenesis and reproductive system pathologies. aim was develop a method boar using gun with ultrasound guidance investigate the influence this procedure on parenchyma quality ejaculate. carried out in six 8-month-old boars. Fourteen days prior 21 after biopsy, ejaculate examined (weight ejaculate; concentration motility spermatozoa) seven-day intervals. Ultrasound images were recorded three...

Although hexoses glucose and fructose serve as important energy sources of food, up to now, there is little information about hexose transporters in birds’ intestinal epithelium during their first postnatal week. The aim the investigation was carry out an immunohistochemical study integral membrane proteins transporter-2 -5 (GLUT-2 GLUT-5) on epithelial cells ostrich chicks week.

In the changing internal and external conditions, maintenance of a constant environment – homeostasis plays significant role in proper functioning organism. Kidneys play key glucose, which sodium-dependent glucose co-transporters contribute to renal reabsorption. Although localisation Na+-glucose has been extensively covered animals’ kidneys, transporters birds’ kidneys is still understudied. The purpose this study was immunolocalise SGLT1 SGLT2 ostrich chickens different ages. study, kidney...

Studies on localization and distribution of enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are important for better understanding their role in the ontogenetic development intestines. Information about most endocrine digestive tract ostrich is very limited; therefore, aim present study was to identify gastrin somatostatin EECs small intestine (Struthio camelus var. domesticus) chicks at different ages.
