Methoxyl as an Indicator of the Nutritive Value of Forage

Journal of Dairy Science, 1958
Summary A study was made of the relationships between the digestibility and methoxyl content of forages and between forage digestibility and the fecal methoxyl content. The three forages studied were of different botanical composition, were both grazed and hand-fed, and each was harvested at several stages of growth.

Adaptation of Echinococcus Multilocularis to Oxidative Stress Depends on EmPDK‐Mediated Metabolic Reprogramming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metabolic adaption presents a vital survival strategy for E. multilocularis. This study identifies EmPDK as a central metabolic regulator governing glucose metabolic reprogramming. Oxidative stress activates EmHIF1α to induce EmPDK expression. Mechanistic characterization reveals this ROS/EmHIF1α/EmPDK axis drives glycolytic reprogramming to sustain ...
