Growing evidence of intestinal microbiota-muscle axis provides a possibility to improve meat quality broilers through regulating microbiota. Water-holding capacity is crucial factor evaluate the quality. High water-holding usually described as low drip-losing rate. This study aimed explore relationship between microbiota and muscle in broilers. According our results, two native breeds (the Arbor Acres Beijing-You broilers) exhibited remarkable differences composition. However, regular gut...
Summary Phytoproteins have been widely implemented in the food industry benefiting from their good functionalities, vast reserves and relatively low cost. However, phytoproteins frequently experience poor solubility, which limits applications. In our study, solubility of soy protein isolate (SPI) treated with pH‐shifting increased over 1.8 times; however, transglutaminase‐induced gel properties were sacrificed. To solve this problem, walnut (WP) was used to co‐assemble SPI during treatment....
AIM: To investigate the mechanism underlying intestinal barrier function damage after severe trauma and therapeutic effect of glutamine.METHODS: Burned patients, animal models replicated by hemorrhagic shock combined with endotoxin infusion burn injury, were included in a serial experiment.Effects oral glutamine on observed scalded rats.Parameters measured these experiments as follows: plasma levels diamine oxidase (DAO), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα α α), (LPS), lactate well D-lactate...
More than 99% of follicles undergo "atresia" during follicular development and growth. Follicular atresia is predominantly regulated by granulosa cell apoptosis. However, the intracellular signaling pathway apoptosis in cells has not been revealed. In present study, we examined changes expression BH3-interacting domain death agonist (Bid) Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), which are considered to promote ligand/receptor-mediated process mitochondrion-dependent type II apoptosis, porcine...
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) plays a key role in bile acid homeostasis, inflammation, fibrosis, and metabolism of lipid glucose becomes promising therapeutic target for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or other FXR-dependent diseases. The phase III trial results obeticholic demonstrate that the FXR agonists emerge as intervention patients with NASH but this acid-derived agonist brings severe pruritus an elevated risk cardiovascular disease patients. Herein, we reported our efforts discovery...
Influenza (flu) D virus, a possible causative agent of bovine respiratory disease, is genetically classified into three clusters: D/OK-, D/660-, and D/Japan-lineages. To evaluate antigenic heterogeneity among these clusters, we compared antibody titers to each lineage virus using sera collected over time following infection. Antibody D/Japan-lineage rose rapidly in the acute phase infection, were 4 times higher than those other clustered viruses. In later equivalent D/OK-lineage still...
Zearalenone (ZEA), an estrogenic mycotoxin produced by several Fusarium species, is converted into a more active metabolite, α-zearalenol (α-ZOL), and less β-zearalenol (β-ZOL), liver subcellular fractions, but evidence of this reaction in other tissues limited. In order to clarify the role various ZEA metabolism ruminant, we investigated vitro metabolic conversion adult male female goats. The results indicate that liver, α-ZOL was major metabolite cytosolic whereas β-ZOL predominant...
This study measured the metabolizable energy of soybean meal (SBM) and evaluated effects specific enzymes supplementation in corn-soybean diets on growth performance, intestinal digestion properties values 28-day-old broilers. A total 336 one-day-old male AA broiler chickens were distributed to 7 groups a completely random design. The birds given containing 6 with different combined meals fasting treatment, 8 replicates per treatment replicate (Trial 1). 672 randomly allocated dietary...
Growth hormone (GH) is secreted in a pulsatile manner, but the underlying mechanisms of GH pulse generation remain to be resolved. In present study, we investigated relationship between pulses peripheral circulation and GH-releasing (GHRH) somatostatin (SRIF) profiles cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) male goats. The effects an intracerebroventricular (icv) injection neuropeptide Y (NPY), galanin ghrelin were also analyzed. Blood CSF samples collected every 15 min for 8 hr from jugular vein third...
Interferon tau (IFNT), produced by the mononuclear trophectoderm, signals process of maternal recognition pregnancy in ruminants. However, its expression vivo and transcriptional regulation are not yet well characterized. Objectives this study were to determine conceptus IFNT gene isoforms expressed bovine uterus identify differences promoter sequences genes that differ their expression. RNA-seq data analysis conceptuses on days 17, 20, 22 (day 0 = day estrus) detected two transcripts, IFNT1...
The Wuzhishan miniature pig originates from Hainan Island, P. R. China, and is considered useful for medical veterinary research due to its small size; a mature adult weights less than 25 kg. To reveal the genetic characteristics of this breed, polymorphism in 4 inbred strains was estimated using 30 microsatellite genes, multiplex polymerase chain reaction, gene scanning. average number alleles at marker loci 8.300, 4.533, 6.700, 7.433, respectively. information content 0.632, 0.507, 0.653,...
In mitochondrion-dependent type II apoptosis, BH3-interacting domain death agonist (BID) and BCL-2-associated X protein (BAX) promote ligand receptor-mediated cell death. porcine ovaries, the levels of BID BAX increase in follicular granulosa cells during atresia. present study, to confirm pro-apoptotic activity cells, we examined effect RNA interference or on apoptosis using a human ovarian tumor line, KGN. By reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) Western blotting,...
This study assessed the feasibility of using a vegetable extract, MGM-P (quebracho tannin product), as an alternative to antibiotics for weaned piglets; it investigated effects on growth performance, diarrhea, and overall health in early-weaned piglets. In total, 24 piglets were allocated three treatment groups fed basal diets supplemented with 0, 0.2%, or 0.3% 20 days. The addition diet improved diarrhea incidence, hematological parameters, intestinal mucosa structure. Furthermore, 0.2% did...
From previous cDNA subtraction studies analyzing gene expression in equine endometrium, high lipocalin 2 (LCN2) mRNA was found the gravid endometrium. In uterus, LCN2 may transport hydrophobic molecules and siderophores with iron, or form a complex another protein, however, of uterine beyond day 20 pregnancy its receptor has not been characterized. To study potential roles from pre-implantation to mid-gestation period, stage-specific endometrial samples were obtained 13 (day 0 = ovulation)...
Abstract Soil texture and antecedent soil water content (ASWC) are primary factors governing hillslope hydrological erosion processes. We used simulated rainfall to investigate the runoff processes on sloped plots with three loessial soils analyzed effects of ASWC The results demonstrated that average infiltration rate decreased increasing clay (i.e., Ansai (AS) loamy sand > Fuxian (FX) loam Yangling (YL) clay). had little effect for YL but exerted a significant influence FX AS soils;...
Primary epithelial tumors of the gallbladder are rarely reported in animals. In this study, 9 aged pigs (6–12 years old) were histopathologically examined for proliferative lesions. At necropsy, a large gallstone occupied lumen 3 pigs. Histopathological examination revealed chronic cholecystitis all pigs, mucosal hyperplasia 2 adenoma 1 pig, and adenocarcinoma Bacilli detected 6 by Warthin-Starry stain. Mucosal hyperplasia, adenoma, characterized papillary projections mucosa with occasional...
The Eperythrozoon suis (E. suis) antigen was purified using a Sephadex G-200 chromatograph, and thereby, high-affinity, specific E. collected confirmed with Western blotting. Using this antigen, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system to detect the antibody against in swine established. There no cross-reaction sera, which were affected Mycoplasmal pneumonia, fever, colibacillosis, or toxoplasmosis. A comparison of ELISA indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test 78 samples revealed...
