Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

An international consensus on screening and monitoring early‐stage type 1 diabetes: A roadmap to European implementation

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease that results in loss of insulin‐secreting pancreatic β‐cells in the islets of Langerhans. A diagnosis of T1D is typically associated with children and adolescents, yet half of all diagnoses of T1D are made in adults.

Preference and In Vitro Digestibility of Leaves of Woody Plants by Sheep in the Northern Sudanian Zone

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In West Africa, trees and shrubs are important for feeding ruminant livestock during the dry season. This study aimed to determine the in vitro digestibility of organic matter from eight woody species using a gas test with and without the addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG), and evaluate their preference by sheep using a cafeteria test ...

Mycorrhizal fungi and poultry wastes enhanced soil microbial biomass, metabolic quotient, infection rate, growth and yield of the eggplant

International journal of health sciences, 2022
One benefit of incorporating poultry wastes and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) into soils is an increase in crop yield. However, experimental results vary and depend on the kind of poultry wastes, the experimental setup, and the characteristics of the soil. Thus, the underlying causes have not yet been fully understood.

Wetland plant growth in recycled glass sand versus dredged river sand: evaluating a new resource for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.
