Bacterial pneumonia is a common disease in dairy herds worldwide, which brings great economic losses to farmers. Sodium butyrate (SB), an inhibitor of histone deacetylase, plays important role limiting inflammation. The purpose this study was investigate the protective effects SB on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) mice and explore potential mechanism protection. A total 30 ICR were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10): phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)...

Although high-concentrate diet feeding can temporarily increase milk production, it cause a series of metabolic diseases, such as subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) and fat depression. The main purpose this experiment was to study the effects on inflammatory response, oxidative stress, synthesis in mammary gland dairy cows. Twelve Holstein cows equipped with rumen fistulas were randomly divided into 2 groups, each 6 cows, fed low-concentrate (LC) (HC). On d 20 21 experiment, fluid collected...

Ruminal dysbiosis-induced liver injury is prevalent in dairy cows, yet its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Ferroptosis, a newly identified form of programmed cell death distinct from apoptosis and necrosis, has been implicated various diseases by emerging studies. In the present study, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) γ-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelic acid (iE-DAP) were employed to establish vitro vivo models using bovine hepatocytes mice, respectively. It was observed that...

<h2>ABSTRACT</h2> Mitochondrial homeostasis is closely associated with cellular process, whereas mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to apoptosis and mitophagy. Hence, analyzing the mechanism of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-caused damage necessary understand how maintained in bovine hepatocytes. Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAM), a connection between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) mitochondria, important control function. To investigate underlying mechanisms LPS-caused dysfunction,...

Oxidative stress is tightly associated with liver dysfunction and injury in dairy cows. Previous studies have shown that cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) possesses anti-inflammatory antioxidative abilities. In this study, the bovine hepatocytes were pretreated CLA for 6 h, followed by treatment hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) another h to investigate effect of uncover underlying mechanisms. The results demonstrated H2O2 elevated level mitophagy, promoted mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)...

Subacute ruminal acidosis can cause liver injury in ruminants. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death, is involved many diseases. This study aimed to investigate ferroptosis SARA-induced and explore the changes hepatic iron metabolism. Twelve ruminally cannulated, lactating Hu sheep (parities: 2 or 3; BW: 50.6 ± 4.0 kg; 18.8 3.6 d milk; MY: 0.52 0.08 kg/d; mean SD) were divided into groups (n = 6/group) fed a low-grain diet (LG group, grain: forage 3: 7, 24.89% starch 40.66% NDF)...

Currently, little is known about the effect of sodium butyrate (NaB) on oxidative stress following grain-induced sub-acute ruminal acidosis in dairy goats. In present study, 18 lactating goats implanted with a cannula and permanent indwelling catheters portal hepatic veins were randomly allocated into 3 treatment groups over 20 weeks: low grain (LG, 40% grain; n = 6), high (HG, 60% 6) (HG + NaB, NaB; 6). When added to HG diet, NaB increased mean pH reduced levels ruminal, LPS; Additionally,...

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the dominating endotoxin of Gram-negative bacteria, which can cause mastitis. Bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs), as major components gland, usually suffer LPS challenge. Cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been reported to have anti-inflammatory characteristics, while its anti-oxidative ability maintain cellular homeostasis in BMECs under challenge limited. Therefore, we studied whether cis-9, CLA restore disturbance indicated by redox status...
