Adaptation of energy metabolism to undernutrition in ewes. Contribution of portal-drained viscera, liver and hindquarters [PDF]
Adaptation of energy metabolism to undernutrition and to the duration of undernutrition was studied in adult, non-pregnant, non-lactating ewes at the whole-animal, portal-drained viscera, liver and hindquarters levels. Arterio-venous and indirect calorimetry techniques were used.

A Model of Net Amino Acid Absorption and Utilization by the Portal-Drained Viscera of the Lactating Dairy Cow [PDF]
A more complete understanding of amino acid (AA) metabolism by the various tissues of the body is required to improve upon current systems for predicting the use of absorbed AA. The objective of this work was to construct and parameterize a model of net removal of AA by the portal-drained viscera (PDV). Six cows were prepared with arterial, portal, and

Iberian pig adaptation to acorn consumption: I. Net portal appearance of metabolites [PDF]
Most valuable cured products from Iberian pigs come from pure bred animals raised for a final grazing-fattening period where pigs eat mainly acorns, a low protein energy rich fruit.

Iberian pig adaptation to acorn consumption: II. Net portal appearance of amino acids [PDF]
In Iberian pig outdoor production, pigs are fed equilibrated diets until the final fattening period when grazing pigs consume mainly acorns from oak trees. Acorns are rich in energy but poor in crude protein where lysine is the first limiting amino acid (

Effect of underfeeding on metabolism of portal-drained viscera in ewes [PDF]
We investigated whether short-term underfeeding could induce adaptative mechanisms in portal-drained viscera (PDV) that would allow nutrients to be spared for vital functions in adult ewes. Six ewes (three of them fitted with catheters in the mesenteric artery and portal and mesenteric veins) were fed, in a double 3×3 Latin square design (2 weeks per ...

Splanchnic metabolism of nutrients and hormones in steers fed alfalfa under conditions of increased absorption of ammonia and L-arginine supply across the portal-drained viscera [PDF]
Effects of increased ammonia and/or arginine absorption on net splanchnic (portal-drained viscera [PDV] plus liver) metabolism of nonnitrogenous nutrients and hormones in cattle were examined.

Modeling portal-drained viscera and liver fluxes of essential amino acids in dairy cows [PDF]
The objective of this work was to predict essential amino acid (EAA) use and release by the portal-drained viscera (PDV) and liver of dairy cows. Previously derived equations were tested using data assembled from the literature, refit to the data, and modifications were undertaken to determine the best model for each EAA.

Intestinal transplantation in children under FK 506 immunosuppression [PDF]
Intestinal transplantation, solitary (n = 3) or in combination with the liver (n = 7), was performed in 10 pediatric patients with intestinal failure. The liver was only replaced if there was liver failure and portal hypertension.

Net nutrient absorption and liver metabolism in lactating dairy cows fed supplemental dietary biotin
The effect of feeding supplemental biotin on net absorption and metabolism of nutrients by the portal-drained viscera (PDV; the gut, pancreas, spleen and associated fat) and liver of lactating dairy cows was measured. Three cows in early to mid-lactation
