Rheumatoid arthritis is a common autoimmune disease linked to chronic inflammation. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been proposed contribute risk RA, and large number researchers have investigated gut–joint axis hypothesis using collagen-induced rats. However, previous studies mainly involved short-term experiments; very few used CIA model investigate changes in over time. Moreover, research failed use carry out detailed investigations effects drug treatments upon inflammation joints,...
Rumen microbial community structure and stability are very important for ruminant health, growth development, livestock product yield. Dietary composition nutritional affect diversity richness. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects different fiber levels energy feed on rumen microflora fermentation function grazing sheep in salinized sown pasture, reveal response main at phylum genus analyze internal mechanism provide a reference selection improvement production performance...
This study evaluated the effects of Allium mongolicum Regel (AM) supplementation on nitrogen (N) balance, ruminal fermentation, and antioxidant properties. Sixteen male calves were assigned randomly to four groups, added with 0 (CON), 200 mg/kg (body weight; BW) (Low AM; LA), 400 (BW) (Middle MA), or 800 (High HA) per day for each individual. AM was dry matter (DM) basis. The experiment lasted 58 days. Supplementation could significantly increase average daily gain, DM digestibility, acid...
We observed the effect of hydrogen-rich medium on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), hyaline leukocyte conglutination, and permeability endothelium.Endotheliocytes were inoculated 6-well plates randomly divided into 4 groups: control, H 2 , LPS, LPS+H in saturated medium.We applied Wright's staining to observe conglutination leukocytes HUVECs, flow cytometry determine content vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1) intercellular molecule...
Abstract The rumen of livestock grazing on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP) acts as a transfer station for circulation soil, grass, faecal mineral elements and nutrients. Whether microorganisms from soil grass could circulate through excreted faeces. We studied structural composition interactive networks microbiomes (bacteria fungi) in yaks (rumen faeces) QTP by using 16S rRNA gene internally transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing technology to calculate contribution rate one habitat another...
Livestock grazing plays a significant role in maintaining grasslands and promoting animal production globally. To understand the livestock performance sown pasture (SP) vs native (NP) is important to ensure more effective grassland-livestock interactions with minimal environmental impact. A 2 (treatment) * (period) Latin Square design experiment was conducted 10 growing Hu sheep ♂ × thin-tailed Han ♀ rams grazed perennially SP NP an inland arid region of China. The objectives were evaluate...
Compared to traditional herbage, functional native herbage is playing more important role in ruminant agriculture through improving digestion, metabolism and health of livestock; however, their effects on rumen microbial communities hindgut fermentation are still not well understood. The objective present study was evaluate the dietary addition Allium mongolicum bacterial feces claves. Sixteen 7-month-old male calves were randomly divided into four groups (n = 4). All fed a basal ration...
Native plants can be used as additives to replace antibiotics improve ruminant feed utilization and animal health. An experiment was conducted evaluate the effects of Gentiana straminea (GS) on nutrient digestibility, methane emissions, energy metabolism Simmental calves.Thirty-two (5-week-old) male clves, with initial body weight (BW) 155±12 kg were fed same basal diet concentrates (26%), alfalfa hay (37%), oat (37%) randomly separated into four treatment groups according amount GS that...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint damage with complex pathological mechanisms. In recent years, many studies have shown that the dysregulation of intestinal mucosal immunity epithelial barrier are closely related to occurrence RA. Total glucosides paeony (TGP) been used clinically for treatment RA in China decades, while pharmacological mechanism still uncertain. The purpose this study was investigate...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in annual pasture and native on dry matter (DM) intake, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen (N) energy utilization, methane (CH4) emission grazing sheep, provide basis for rational livestock salinized regions. used 10 male Hu sheep ♀ × thin-tailed Han ♂ rams (20 ± 5 kg) aged mo. Sheep conducted using a 2 Latin square design. After 15-d adaptation period grazing, digestion metabolism experiment were conducted, while CH4 emissions...
Eye muscle area is an important trait for evaluating sheep production performance. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms in CEL and SCD5 genes eye Hu sheep. The missense mutation g.4039718 C > T was found gene by PCR Kaspar technology, three genotypes, TT, CT, CC, were typed at locus; synonymous g.107962775 G gene, GT, GG, locus. Correlation analysis showed that these two loci significantly correlated with of sheep(P<0.05). Combined genotype...
Growth traits play an important role in sheep production many ways, including improving growth rate and efficiency, increasing meat performance quality, reproductive performance. Therefore, production, the selection improvement of is one means to improve efficiency. In this study, 857 male Hu were used as experimental population, some (including body weight, height, length, chest circumference, cannon circumference) collected at 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180 days age, live weight before...
An accurate value for metabolizable energy (ME) requirement maintenance (MEm) is essential to enable sheep husbandry practice reach its potential. The objectives of the study were use calorimetry chamber data dry ewes (Hu × thin-tail Han F1 crossbred) develop updated MEm, examine effects substituting concentrate feed with lucerne hay on partitioning, and explore relationships between utilization fasting heat production (FHP). Data collected from three experiments. In Exps. 1, 2a 2b, was used...
Feed cost accounts for a high proportion of sheep production, and improving sheep's utilization feed will reduce production costs improve economic benefits. The purpose this study was to investigate the expression characteristics PLIN1 MOGAT1 genes relationship between their polymorphisms efficiency traits in Hu sheep, find molecular Genetic marker that can be used breeding. levels various tissues were determined using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). results showed had highest level...
Energy supply is essential for the growth and productive performance of ruminants. This study aimed to evaluate effects supplemental feeding different concentrate feeds on performance, digestive metabolism, serum indexes, greenhouse gas emissions grazing sheep, analyze underlying mechanisms provide a theoretical basis feed supplementation sheep salinized sown pasture in inland arid zone northwest China. Thirty 6-month-old male (17.36 ± 3.37 kg) with similar body weights were selected divided...
