Mammary blood flow and metabolic activity are linked by a feedback mechanism involving nitric oxide synthesis [PDF]
To test which, if any, of the major milk precursors can elicit a rapid change in the rate of mammary blood flow (MBF) and to define the time course and magnitude of such changes, 4 lactating cows were infused with glucose, amino acids, or triacylglycerol

Active Hydrophilic Components of the Medicinal Herb Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen) Potently Inhibit Organic Anion Transporters 1 (Slc22a6) and 3 (Slc22a8) [PDF]
Many active components of herbal products are small organic anions, and organic anion transporters were previously demonstrated to be a potential site of drug-drug interactions.

In nutrition studies, para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) is a marker frequently used to measure blood flow in pigs, which is essential for estimating portal-drained viscera (PDV) flux of nutrients.

Adult renal function is modified by perinatal taurine status in conscious male rats [PDF]
Perinatal taurine exposure influences renal function in adult female offspring. This study tests the hypothesis that prenatal rather than postnatal taurine exposure alters renal function in adult conscious male rats.

Whole blood and plasma amino acid transfers across the portal drained viscera and liver of the pig.
Whole blood (WB) and plasma (P) amino acid transfers across the portal drained viscera and the liver were determined during 6 h of a constant p-aminohippuric acid infusion in three hourly-fed Landrace x Large-White pigs (30.5 kg, mean live weight ...

The role of B [Beta]-hydroxybutyrate in the regulation of ketogenesis in sheep [PDF]
Eleven ewes weighing between 55 and 65 kg were randomly placed in one of three experimental categories: normal (n=5); diabetic insulin-treated, DIT (.n=3); and diabetic 72-hour-untreated, DUT (.n=3).

Betaine increases net portal absorption of volatile fatty acids in Iberian pigs [PDF]
[EN] Betaine is an osmolyte with the potential to increase volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production and hence improve intestinal health.The present study investigated how betaine affects portal and arterial concentrations and net portal absorption (NPA) of

Prediction of portal and hepatic blood flow from intake level data in cattle [PDF]
There is growing interest in developing integrated post-absorptive metabolism models for dairy 30 cattle. An integral part of linking a multi-organ post-absorptive model is the prediction of nutrient 31 fluxes between organs, and thus blood flow.

Dopamine D2-like receptors and amino acid-induced glomerular hyperfiltration in humans.
AIMS In rodents, blockade of dopamine D2-like receptors abolishes both the physiological increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) induced by amino acids and the pathological hyperfiltration in experimental diabetes mellitus.
