Genome‐wide population structure, homozygosity, and heterozygosity patterns of Nero Siciliano pig in the framework of Italian and cosmopolitan breeds

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 591-605, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Analysis of genomic data is becoming more and more common for the effective management of livestock breeding programmes, even in the case of local populations. In this work, the genome‐wide data of Nero Siciliano pig breed were compared to that of wild boar, Italian local and cosmopolitan breeds to investigate its genetic structure, and runs ...

Columns in analytical‐scale supercritical fluid chromatography: From traditional to unconventional chemistries

open access: yesJournal of Separation Science, Volume 46, Issue 18, September 2023., 2023
Within this review, we thoroughly explored supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) columns used across > 3000 papers published from the first study carried out under SFC conditions in 1962 to the end of 2022. We focused on the open tubular capillary, packed capillary, and packed columns, their chemistries, dimensions, and trends in used stationary ...

From Molecules to Perception: Philosophical Investigations of Smell

open access: yesPhilosophy Compass, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Theories of perception have traditionally dismissed the sense of smell as a notoriously variable and highly subjective sense, mainly because it does not easily fit into accounts of perception based on visual experience. So far, philosophical questions about the objects of olfactory perception have started by considering the nature of olfactory

Immunocastration in adult boars as a model for late‐onset hypogonadism

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 10, Issue 6, Page 1217-1232, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Background While immunocastration has been studied in male pre‐pubertal pigs, data on older, sexually mature animals are limited. To understand the physiological effects of androgen deprivation in the late sexual development phase, we compared mature immunocastrated boars (n = 19; average age = 480 days) to young male immunocastrated pigs (n =

Welfare of pigs on farm

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Abstract This scientific opinion focuses on the welfare of pigs on farm, and is based on literature and expert opinion. All pig categories were assessed: gilts and dry sows, farrowing and lactating sows, suckling piglets, weaners, rearing pigs and boars. The most relevant husbandry systems used in Europe are described.

Diversity of Japanese consumers' requirements, sensory perceptions, and eating preferences for meat

open access: yesAnimal Science Journal, Volume 93, Issue 1, January/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Japanese consumers are generally characterized as preferring high marbling in beef and pork and choosing domestic products. However, the Japanese food market is not homogenous. Understanding the diversity of Japanese consumers will provide benefits for the optimization of meat production and distribution in Japan. This article focuses on three

Evaluation of Deodorizing Effects of Saccharina japonica in 10‐Month‐Old ICR Mice Using a Novel Odor Marker Associated with Aging

open access: yesEvidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The potential deodorizing effects of Saccharina japonica have been evaluated by determining their deodorizing performance, but they are yet to be validated in experimental animals. The deodorizing effects of S. japonica were examined in an animal model using a novel odor marker associated with aging by comparing the concentration of odor component in ...

The scents of androstenone in humans

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, 2003
Specific anosmia, the inability to detect a particular odour, has been well documented for decades in human and animal populations. Indeed, the existence of specific anosmias was a favoured argument used to support a receptor‐mediated mechanism of odourant detection prior to the molecular identification of a large family of olfactory G‐protein‐coupled ...

Allergens and their associated small molecule ligands—their dual role in sensitization

open access: yesAllergy, Volume 76, Issue 8, Page 2367-2382, August 2021., 2021
Abstract Many allergens feature hydrophobic cavities that allow the binding of primarily hydrophobic small‐molecule ligands. Ligand‐binding specificities can be strict or promiscuous. Serum albumins from mammals and birds can assume multiple conformations that facilitate the binding of a broad spectrum of compounds.

Metabonomic Study on the Plasma of High‐Fat Diet‐Induced Dyslipidemia Rats Treated with Ge Gen Qin Lian Decoction by Ultrahigh‐Performance Liquid Chromatography‐Mass Spectrometry

open access: yesEvidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Gegen Qinlian decoction (GGQLD) has a definite effect on T2DM in clinic, and it has the effect of lowering blood sugar, improving insulin resistance, and improving the blood lipid level of rats with dyslipidemia, but the intervention mechanism of GGQLD on dyslipidemia has not been clarified.
