Betaine addition to the diet alleviates intestinal injury in growing rabbits during the summer heat through the AAT/mTOR pathway

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different levels of betaine (Bet) inclusion in the diet on the intestinal health of growing rabbits under summer heat.

Current use of phytogenic feed additives in animal nutrition: a review

, 2016
A rapid development in the potential use of phytogenic feed additives has occurred mainly due to the 2006 EU ban on the use of antimicrobial substances as growth stimulators; however, they are also used as sensory, technological additives or substances ...

Evaluation of in vitro toxicity of common phytochemicals included in weight loss supplements using 1H NMR spectroscopy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the toxicity of 12 active compounds commonly found in herbal weight loss supplements (WLS) using human liver and colon cell models. Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate was the only compound showing significant toxicity. Metabolic profiling revealed protein degradation, disrupted energy and lipid metabolism suggesting that the inclusion of EGCG ...

Glutathione mitigates hypoxia-induced gill damage in juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) by alleviating endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background Environmental hypoxia is a common phenomenon in aquaculture, which causes gill tissue injury in fish. Glutathione (GSH) is a vital antioxidant in animal tissues, and its levels decrease under hypoxic conditions.

Pioglitazone plus (−)‐epigallocatechin gallate: a novel approach to enhance osteogenic performance in aged bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Aged human bmMSCs are seeded in the scaffold. Osteoblastic induction can slightly increase cell's bone‐forming activity to produce bone‐like tissues, shown as the sporadic xylenol orange‐stained spots (the lower left image). Notably, pioglitazone plus EGCG co‐treatment dramatically increases cell's bone‐forming activity and bone‐like tissue production (

Heat stress induced testicular impairment is related to orchitis and complement activation in Rongchang boars

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background Heat stress (HS) is posing as a tremendous threat to the swine industry, due to the thermos-sensitive gonads of boars. Testes are immune-privileged organs in which spermatogenesis needs to remain undisturbed, whereas immune cells are thermo ...

Farm Animal Welfare and Quality Verification [PDF]

Existing empirical evidence suggests that farm animal welfare may not be a top-of-mind issue for many consumers in North America. Nevertheless, there is pressure from animal welfare groups on food retailers and processors to implement more stringent ...

Meta‐analysis fails to show any correlation between protein abundance and ubiquitination changes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We analyzed over 50 published proteomics datasets to explore the relationship between protein levels and ubiquitination changes across multiple experimental conditions and biological systems. Although ubiquitination is often associated with protein degradation, our analysis shows that changes in ubiquitination do not globally correlate with changes in ...
