Transforming growth factor j3 (TGF-j3) increases up to 20-fold the expression of various forms chondroitin/dermatan sulfate proteoglycan, major type sulfated proteoglycan present in extracellular matrix and culture medium human, rodent, mink cell types including kidney lung fibroblasts, epithelial cells, preadipocytes, skeletal muscle myoblasts.TGF-j3 regulates level molecular size these proteoglycans by acting simultaneously at two levels: it elevates biosynthetic rate 45-kDa core protein a...
Hereditary periodic fever syndromes are characterized by recurrent episodes of and inflammation with no known pathogenic or autoimmune cause. In humans, several genes have been implicated in this group diseases, but the majority cases remain unexplained. A similar syndrome is relatively frequent Chinese Shar-Pei breed dogs. western world, strongly selected for a distinctive thick heavily folded skin. study, mutation affecting both these traits was identified. Using genome-wide SNP analysis...
Type beta transforming growth factors (TGF) are disulfide-linked homo- and heterodimers of two related polypeptide chains, 1 2. The homodimers TGF-beta 2 widely distributed, but the heterodimer 1.2 has been found only in porcine platelets (Cheifetz, S., Weatherbee, J.A., Tsang, M.L.-S., Anderson, J.K., Mole, J.E., Lucas, R., Massague, J. (1987) Cell 48, 409-415). Here we characterize receptor binding biological properties compare them with those Three types cell surface receptors previously...
The purpose of the present study is to establish influence age on serum biochemistry reference intervals (RIs) for unweaned calves and recently-weaned piglets using large number animals sampled at different ages from populations under season trials. Specifically, milk replacer (MR)-fed April-July 2017 (n = 60); December 2016-March 76) April-August 2018 57) one group healthy weaned 72) were subjected study. Serum enzymes metabolites 24 h (24 after colostrum intake), 2, 5, 7 weeks merged...
While the removal of seminal plasma is a routine practice prior to equine sperm cryopreservation, this fluid contains main source antioxidant enzymes able scavenge these reactive oxygen species. Therefore, stallion components may have an impact on ejaculate freezability. Against background, study was designed investigate whether activities are related cryotolerance. With purpose, 16 ejaculates were collected from 14 healthy stallions, and each split into two aliquots. The first one used...
This study aimed at evaluating the effects of trailer design on stress responses and meat quality traits 3 different pig crosses: 50% Pietrain breeding with halothane (HAL)(Nn) (50Nn); HAL(NN) (50NN); 25% genotype (25NN). Over a 6-wk period, pigs (120 pigs/crossbreed) were transported for 7 h in either pot-belly (PB) or flat-deck (FD) (10 pigs/crossbreed(-1)·trailer(-1)·wk(-1)). Temperature (T) relative humidity (RH) monitored each trailer. Behaviors during loading unloading, time to load...
In veterinary medicine, there is increasing interest in measuring acute phase proteins as a tool the diagnosis and monitoring of neoplastic diseases. Although mammary neoplasms are most common type cancer dogs, have not been extensively evaluated dogs with tumors.The aim this study was to evaluate serum haptoglobin (Hp) C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations tumors assess their potential association malignancy.A retrospective performed. Serum CRP Hp were determined healthy control (n=20)...
Protein electrophoresis is widely applied in veterinary medicine, but not used often reptiles, part because of lack reference values.The goals this study were to compare plasma protein profiles obtained by cellulose acetate (CAE) and agarose gel (AGE), measure precision examine interference sample hemolysis, establish preliminary intervals for 2 reptile species.Heparinized samples from healthy diseased adult female Iguana iguana (n=40) Trachemys scripta (n=60) analyzed CAE AGE. Total...
The objective assessment of animal stress and welfare requires proper laboratory biomarkers. In this work, we have analyzed the changes in serum composition gilts after switching their housing, from pen to individual stalls, which is generally accepted cause discomfort. Blood saliva samples were collected a day before up four days changing housing system. Biochemical analyses showed adaptive lipid protein metabolism switch, whereas cortisol muscular markers large variability between animals....
Feed restriction, and seasonal weight loss (SWL), are major setbacks for animal production in the tropics Mediterranean. They may be solved through use of autochthonous breeds particularly well adapted to SWL. It is therefore importance determine markers tolerance feed restriction putative selection. Two indigenous from Canary Islands, Palmera Majorera , commonly used by dairy goat farmers and, interestingly, have different phenotype characteristics albeit with a common ancestry. Indeed,...
