Abstract The decline in fresh milk the Western world has part been substituted by an increased consumption of plant-based beverages (PBB). These are often marketed as healthy and sustainable alternatives to dairy foodstuff, although studies have suggested PBB be lower nutrient quality. current study considered different brands almond-, oat-, rice-, coconut- soya-based for a comparative analysis found that they indeed presented contents total protein, lipids, amino acids, minerals than cow...

An edited data set of 700 bulk and 46,338 test-day records collected between 2019 2021 in 42 Holstein-dominated farms the Veneto Region (North Italy) was available for present study. Information on protein, fat lactose content, somatic cell count, score milk as well individual records, whereas urea concentration (mg/dL), differential count (%), yield (kg/d) were only. Milk features merged with meteorological retrieved from 8 weather stations located maximum 10 km farms. The daily weekly...

Dynamically changing environmental conditions promote a complex regulation of plant metabolism and balanced resource investments to development defense. Plants the Brassicales order constitutively allocate carbon, nitrogen, sulfur synthesize glucosinolates as their primary defense metabolites. Previous findings support model in which steady-state levels intact tissues are determined by biosynthesis turnover through yet uncharacterized pathway. To investigate glucosinolate absence tissue...

Test-day records (n = 723,091) collected between 2012 and 2021 from 43,015 Holstein cows at 157 farms located in northern Italy were used to study the effects of heat load on milk production composition a posteriori. The data consisted yield (kg/d), traditional gross traits, somatic cell score (SCS), differential count (%), β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB, mmol/L), urea (mg/dL), fatty acid (g/100 g milk). then associated with their relative temperature-humidity indexes (THI) calculated using...

Milk consumption is in decline developed countries due to changes lifestyle and habits. Such a reduction partly expanding plant-based industry which provides attractive alternatives. In this study, the nutritional composition of soya, oat, almond, coconut, rice-based beverages was compared that cow goat milk by means 4 commercial scores (NS). Contribution recommended daily intake (RDI) macro- micro-nutrients calculated for comparison. Apart from (PBB) did not approximate nutrient profile...

Background and purpose: The functional characterization of secreted peptides can provide the basis for development novel therapeutic agents. Augurin is a recently identified peptide unknown function expressed in multiple endocrine tissues, regions brain including hypothalamus. We therefore investigated effect hypothalamic injection augurin on hypothalamo‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis male Wistar rats. Experimental approach: was given as single into third cerebral ventricle (i.c.v.) or...

Post-translational processing of the precursor for rat gastrin yields products that include peptides phosphorylated at Ser96, amidated Phe92, and sulfated Tyr87 or Tyr103. The phosphorylation site is immediately adjacent to point gives rise biologically active gastrins. We have examined changes in post-translational which occur cells from rats are physiologically stimulated (by feeding) unstimulated fasting). Peptides were identified using site-directed radioimmunoassays chromatographic...

The development of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis for growth hormone (GH) secretion has been studied in rat fetus and neonate 4, 24, 48 72 h after birth. Injections serotonin blocker cyproheptadine (Cypro) a catecholamine, dopamine (DA), each led to reductions level serum GH 21 22 day fetuses neonates up 3 days O-methylated derivative dopamine, dimethoxyphenylethylamine (DMPEA), did not alter levels from those seen saline-treated control animals. These results indicate that biogenic amines...

Silvoarable agroforestry systems have the potential to combat negative effects of climate change while also enhancing productivity per unit land. Although growth rate large-spaced trees remains poorly investigated and yield annual intercrops uncertain, silvoarable with poplar are receiving an ever-growing interest. This study assessed new HES (High Environmental Sustainability) clone, Moncalvo, arranged in 40-m spaced parallel alleys a density 35 ha−1 (SA, silvoarable). Their was compared...

The SDHI fungicide Sedaxane has shown to efficiently control Rhizoctonia spp. growth and possess biostimulant properties in cereal crops. As a first, the present study investigated its effectiveness as seed treatment of dicot species oilseed rape (Brassica napus var. oleifera). For this, seeds were treated with different fungicides: (i) conventionally used active ingredient Thiram, (ii) Sedaxane, or (iii) combination Fludioxonil Metalaxyl-M, later sown soil inoculated solani. resulting shoot...

Succession of microbial and plant communities is crucial for the development stability soil ecological functions. The relative role environmental disturbance in shaping community a newly established habitat remains unclear. In this study, mid-channel bar (MCB) exposed to an gradient Yangtze River was studied explore effects such traits on succession community. Bulk rhizospheric soils were collected from MCB classified according their level exposure disturbance: head, central tail. These...

The synthesis and properties of peptides containing N-2-aminoethylglycine, the 'reduction analogue' glycylglycine, are described. '3,4-reduction [3-glycine]-bradykinin was devoid activity in guinea-pig ileum assay.

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a major radiative forcing and stratospheric ozone-depleting gas. Among natural sources, freshwater ecosystems are significant contributors to N2O. Although temperature key factor determining the N2O emissions, respective effects of on emitted dissolved in water column remain unclear. In this study, 48 h incubation experiments were performed at three different temperatures; 15 °C, 25 35 °C. For each sample, emission, overlying denitrification rates measured, N2O-related...

The study evaluated the effects of treating irrigation water with a coaxial flow variator (CFV) on morpho-physiology pot-cultivated test species, including cucumber (Cucumis sativus, CU), lettuce (Lactuca sativa, LE), and sorghum (Sorghum vulgare, SO), in early stages growth. CFV caused lower oxidation reduction potential (ORP), increased pH resistance inductance. It induced changes absorbance characteristics specific spectral regions, likely associated greater stretching reduced bending...

Plants of inbred maize lines are characterized by low vigor due to their high rates homozygosity and may, therefore, benefit from additional nutrients biostimulants supplied via foliar spraying. The present study innovatively investigated the effects treatment with three commercial organic-mineral fertilizers/biostimulants on a male-sterile line at five-leaf stage. fertilizers were following content: (i) NPK + hydrolyzed animal epithelium micronutrients (named ‘NPK Hae micro’), (ii) NK...

Denitrification and anammox occur widely in aquatic ecosystems serving vital roles nitrogen pollution removal. However, small waterbodies are sensitive to external influences; stormwater runoff carrying nutrients oxygen, flows into resulting a disruption of geochemical microbial processes. Nonetheless, little is known about how these short-term inputs affect the processes removal waterbodies. To investigate effects NO3-, NH4+, dissolved oxygen (DO) organic C on pond sediments, regulation...

Although the growth rate of large-spaced trees still remains poorly investigated and yield annual intercrops uncertain, silvoarable agroforestry systems with poplar are receiving an ever-growing interest. Indeed, such system has been linked to combatting negative effects climate change while also enhancing productivity per unit land. This study assessed new HES (High Environmental Sustainability) clone, Moncalvo, arranged in 40-m spaced alleys a density 35 ha-1. Their was compared those...
