Comparison of two diagnostic methods through blood and urine sample analyses for the detection of ketosis in cattle [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2022
Background and Aim: Several Ecuadorian farms use human test strips (cheaper than veterinary strips) to diagnose bovine ketosis; however, their reliability is unknown. This study aimed to determine the confidence level of human strips for the detection of

Optimal Design of an Integrated Microalgae Biorefinery for the Production of Biodiesel and PHBs

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2014
In this work, we formulate a nonlinear programming model for the design of an integrated microalgae- based biorefinery for the production of biodiesel and value added co-products which depend on the particular microalgae species considered.

The effects of the ketone body ?-hydroxybutyrate on the neuronal transcriptome

Translation
The ketogenic diet is emerging as an effective therapeutic option for patients with neurological disorders. The diet results in metabolism of fatty acids to ketone bodies like ?-hydroxybutyrates (BHBs), which serve as an alternative fuel source for ...

A hypothetical mechanism capable to reflect the features of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore channel

Advances in Redox Research
Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) channel plays a central role in cell death because it mediates the effect of a sudden large opening of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
