Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been detected in almost all organs of disease-19 patients, although some do not express angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2), a known receptor SARS-CoV-2, implying the presence alternative receptors and/or co-receptors. Here, we show that ubiquitously distributed human transferrin (TfR), which binds to diferric traffic between membrane and endosome for iron delivery cycle, can ACE2-independently mediate SARS-CoV-2...
The purpose of this research was to determine the impact seasonality on feed balance in Lalo kile district Kellem Wollega Zone Western Ethiopia. divided into two agro-ecological zones: mid and low altitude. A total 127 respondents were chosen be interviewed. To collect required data study areas, a cross-sectional survey used. analyses qualitative data, descriptive statistics performed, while General Linear Model (GLM) method used assess impacts seasonal availability agro-ecology dry matter...
An 8-week study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different feeding patterns with dietary Clostridium butyricum supplementation on growth performance, antioxidant and non-specific immune responses in freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (0.39 ± 0.001 g). There were four methodologies: basal diet continuously (P1); 500 mg/kg C. (P2); 5 days after 2 (P3) (P4). The results revealed that prawns P3 had highest weight gain rate (WGR) lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) than other...
This experiment was conducted to investigate the supplemental effect of rosemary leaf meal (RLM) on egg production and quality in Lohmann-Brown laying hens. For each treatment, six replicates were performed with four 24-week-old hens for a total 96 chickens. Dried present commercial hen ration at 0, 1.7, 3.5 5.2%, respectively. The interactions between dietary treatments, storage temperatures (4 °C, 21.5 °C), durations (7, 14, 21, 28, 35 days) examined factorial designs using fully...
A 6-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dissolved oxygen (DO) levels on growth performance, physiological parameters and immune response juvenile GIFT fed with three different dietary protein. Triplicate groups fish (0.45 ± 0.01 g) were 30%, 40% 50% protein diet at hypoxia (2.0 0.3 mg/L) normoxia (6 0.4 mg/L). The hand-fed apparent satiation twice a day (8:00 am 16:00 pm). Fish growth, feed intake conversion ratio adversely affected by hypoxia. However, improved...
The venoms of Theraphosidae spiders have evolved into diverse natural pharmacopeias through selective pressures. Cryptococcus neoformans is a global health threat that frequently causes life-threatening meningitis and fungemia, particularly in immunocompromised patients. In this study, we identify novel anti-C. peptide, QS18 (QCFKVCFRKRCFTKCSRS), from the venom gland China's native spider species Chilobrachys liboensis by utilizing bioinformatic tools. shares over 50% sequence similarity...
Immune recognition and activation by the peptide-laden major histocompatibility complex–T cell receptor (TCR)–CD3 complex is essential for anti-tumor immunity. Tumors may escape immune surveillance dissembling complex. Here, we report that transferrin, which overexpressed in patients with liver metastasis, disassociates TCR from CD3 signaling apparatus targeting constant domain (CD) of T α (TCRα), consequently suppresses activation, inhibits anti-metastatic In mouse models melanoma lymphoma,...
The effect of the addition fenugreek seed powder and Moringa oleifera leaf meal on production performance egg quality Lohmann Brown laying hens was investigated. A total 108 Lohmann-Brown layers, 48 weeks age, were used randomly assigned to six experimental groups three replicates each in a randomized design. control diet supplemented with 3.6 g/hen/day alone or various proportions as follows: (T1), 100% (T2), 25% 75% moringa (T3), 50% (T4), (T5) (T6) added top diet. Data analyzed using...
The study was conducted to investigate the breeding season, sex ratio, size at maturation, fecundity and condition factor of African catfish Clarias gariepinus in Lake Koka. A total 754 fish specimens were collected from October 2020 August 2021. Total length weight measured sexes identified gonad maturity levels recorded. ratio different classes similar that a hypothetical 1:1 ratio. first (L50) 51.8 cm length. mean Fulton’s female ranged 0.65 ± 0.05 – 0.71 0.14, while males 0.62 0.04 0.7...
This study aimed to investigate the synergetic effects of dietary emodin and Clostridium butyricum on antioxidant capacities immune gene expression freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) under ammonia stress. Nine experimental diets were formulated with three levels (0, 25 50 mg/kg) C. 250 500 mg/kg, 2 × 107 CFU g−1) arranged in a 3 factorial design. Emodin dictated relatively lower superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity after stress compared before. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) exhibited...
Freshwater aquatic environment are indeed in a bad state worldwide, due to human activities and there is an urgent need save them their biodiversity. Water plays key role diluting pollutants because of that superiority as solvent, it also means water-soluble wastes pollute water easily. For instance, runoff from nearby lands provides freshwater life zones with almost constant input organic material, inorganic nutrients, other pollutants. These cause undesirable changes the physicochemical or...
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect emodin on biochemical variables, antioxidant activity, heat shock protein gene expression and prawn intestinal morphology (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). Three feeds containing 0 mg kg–1 (T1, control group), 25 (T2) 50 (T3) were formulated fed for eight weeks. Alanine aminotransferase, total cholesterol triglyceride contents significantly lowered although glucose tended increase following remedy. Superoxide dismutase variables in haemolymph...
