Fibroplast growth factor (FGF-21) is a recently discovered metabolic regulator. Its pathophysiologic role in humans remains unknown. In this study, we have investigated whether or not plasma FGF-21 level was different patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-diabetic controls. We also assessed associations between body composition several parameters. Fasting levels were significantly increased T2DM compared controls (1.82±0.65 vs. 1.53±0.60 μg/L, P<0.05). patients, fasting...

A possible option to meet the increased demand of forage for dairy industry is use agricultural by-products, such as corn stover. However, nutritional value crop residues low and we have been seeking technologies improve value. feeding trial was performed evaluate effects four levels Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (SCFP; Original XP; Diamond V) on lactation performance rumen in mid-lactation Holstein cows fed a diet containing low-quality forage. Eighty were randomly assigned...

Fifteen lactating Holstein dairy cows were assigned to three diets in a 3 × Latin square design evaluate the effects of dietary forage sources on rumen microbiota, fermentation and biogenic amines. Diets isonitrogenous isocaloric, with forage/concentrate ratio 45:55 (dry matter basis) but different main sources, namely cornstalk (CS), Leymus chinensis (LC) or alfalfa hay (AH).Pyrosequencing V3-V6 hypervariable coding region 16S rRNA revealed that microbiota was significantly affected by...

Camphora Fabr. is a genus in the family Lauraceae, comprising over 20 tropical and subtropical tree species. Since genera Cinnamomum Schaeff. were described, there has been long-lasting controversy regarding phylogenetic relationships among taxa both genera. In particular, inferences derived from plastid data remain debated, with varying hypotheses proposed occasional disputes concerning monophyly of taxa. To further investigate relationships, We analyzed plastomes nuclear ribosomal cistron...

The tropial genus Beilschmiedia, comprising over 250 species worldwide, includes approximately 40 distributed in the northern tropical forests of Asia. However, phylogenetic relationships among these Asiatic Beilschmiedia remain incompletely understood. In this study, we sequenced and assembled complete chloroplast genomes from six species, including five China one Indonesia. range size 158,275 to 158,620 bp exhibit a typical quadripartite structure, similar other basal Lauraceae species. We...

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) and its constituents have been shown to modify rumen fermentation improve growth performance. skin, a by-product of garlic processing, contains similar bioactive components as bulb. This study aimed investigate the effects skin supplementation on performance, ruminal microbes, metabolites in ruminants. Twelve Hu lambs were randomly assigned receive basal diet (CON) or supplemented with 80 g/kg DM (GAS). The experiment lasted for 10 weeks, first 2 weeks serving...

Treponema saccharophilum is a pectinolytic bacterium isolated from the bovine rumen. The abundance of this has not been well determined, reflecting lack reliable and accurate detection method. To develop rapid method for monitoring T. saccharophilum, we performed pyrosequencing genomic DNA rumen microbiota to explore 16S rRNA gene sequences candidates. Species-specific primers were designed based on fifteen partial genes generated through with 97% or higher similarity saccharophilumDSM2985...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects different supplemental levels Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (SCFP; Original XP; Diamond V) on lactation performance in Holstein dairy cows under heat stress. Eighty-one multiparous divided into 27 blocks 3 each based milk yield (23.6±0.20 kg/d), parity (2.88±0.91) and day (204±46 d). randomly assigned within one three treatments: 0 (control), 120, or 240 g/d SCFP mixed with 240, g corn meal, respectively. experiment...

The effects of decreasing dietary crude protein (CP) level on growth performance, nutrient digestion, serum metabolites, and nitrogen utilization in growing goat kids were investigated the current study. Thirty-six male Anhui white randomly assigned to one three CP content diets: 14.8% (control), 13.4%, 12.0% dry matter, respectively. Diets isoenergetic. experiment lasted for 14 weeks, with first two weeks being adaptation. Results showed that low-CP diet decreased average daily gain, feed...

Abstract Allicin is a sulfur‐containing compound extracted from raw garlic ( Allium sativum L .). We compared the effect of allicin addition on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, and rumen microbiota goats to monensin. Twenty‐four Anhui white were assigned randomly one three dietary treatments: 1) basal diet (CON); 2) with at 750 mg per head day (AC); 3) monensin 30 kg (MS). Animals fed for 8 weeks. Results showed average daily gain, feed efficiency was increased addition....

It is well known that allicin has anti-bacterial, anti-oxidation, and anti-inflammatory biological functions. However, there little information on whether beneficial effects ruminants fed a high-grain (HG) diet. This study was conducted to investigate the of addition growth performance, ruminal microbes in different rumen ecological niches (REN), epithelial (RE) proteome fattening goats HG Twenty-four Anhui white were randomly allocated three dietary treatments: control diet (CON, n = 8),...

Cows that are nursing get around 80% of their glucose from liver gluconeogenesis. Propionate, a significant precursor gluconeogenesis, can regulate the key genes involved in hepatic gluconeogenesis expression, but its precise effects on activity enzymes have not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, aim this study was to investigate propionate activity, gene and protein abundance dairy cow hepatocytes.The hepatocytes were cultured treated with various concentrations sodium (0, 1.25, 2.50,...
