EFFECTS OF FEEDING Lantana camara LEAF HAY ON ANIMAL PERFORMANCE AND HEALTH IN SMALL EAST AFRICA GOAT BREEDS

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2021
Background: Lantana camara is listed as one of the worst invasive species worldwide and is considered poisonous to livestock. However, in invaded Zimbabwean rangelands, voluntary intake by domestic livestock especially goats of this shrub is common, yet,

Novel Amino Acid Changes Increase Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Output in planta

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Characterization of previously reported Arabidopsis mutants with increased aluminum (Al) resistance (alr) resulting from greater release of Al‐chelating malate identified three unique amino acid substitutions that each impacts PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE 1, a key anaplerotic carbon fixation enzyme.

Reaction Mechanism and Catalytic Fingerprint of Allantoin Racemase

, 2016
The stereospecific oxidative decomposition of urate into allantoin is the core of purine catabolism in many organisms. The spontaneous decomposition of upstream intermediates and the nonenzymatic racemization of allantoin lead to an accumulation of (R ...

Reductions in Postprandial Plasma Allantoin Concentrations With Increasing Doses of Polyphenol Rich Curry Intake – A Randomized Crossover Trial

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
While dietary or supplementary antioxidants are thought to inhibit or delay oxidation of biological molecules, their utility in vivo has been marred by equivocal evidence.

Perturbation of Spermine Homoeostasis Uncouples Hypersensitive Cell Death From Systemic Plant Immunity

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyamines are key regulators of plant stress responses, yet their contribution to coordinating local immune responses with systemic immunity remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated how spermine (Spm) homeostasis influences local and systemic defence responses in Arabidopsis thaliana following inoculation with Pseudomonas syringae pv.

Plant‐Derived Probiotics From Fermented Foods: Current Evidence on Antiviral Mechanisms and Gut–Lung Axis Modulation

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 6, November 2026.
Plant‐derived probiotics from fermented foods exert anti‐respiratory virus effects via immune regulation, antiviral metabolites, and gut–lung axis, highlighting their advantages, key technologies, and application prospects. ABSTRACT Respiratory viral infections represent a major global public health threat, causing widespread morbidity, mortality, and ...

Influence of Tapered‐End and Round‐End Bristle Designs on the Abrasive Enamel Wear Using Toothpastes With High Discrepancies in Abrasiveness

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 744-752, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of bristle end design of toothbrushes and the relative enamel abrasivity (REA) of used toothpaste on the resulting abrasive enamel wear. Materials and Methods A total of 160 bovine enamel samples were allocated into eight groups (n = 20) and surface topography was recorded

Urinary Allantoin as an Estimate of Microbial Protein Synthesis [PDF]

, 2002
Allantoin excretion in the urine was evaluated as a marker for bacterial protein production in lactating and dry cows grazing Sandhills range and meadows. Allantoin excretion declined with season as diet digestibility declined.
