Possible Roles for Basal Levels of (p)ppGpp: Growth Efficiency Vs. Surviving Stress
Two (p)ppGpp nucleotide analogs, sometimes abbreviated simply as ppGpp, are widespread in bacteria and plants. Their name alarmone reflects a view of their function as intracellular hormone-like protective alarms that can increase a 100-fold when sensing

Amino acids in the uterine luminal fluid reflects the temporal changes in transporter expression in the endometrium and conceptus during early pregnancy in cattle [PDF]
In cattle, conceptus-maternal interactions are critical for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. A major component of this early interaction involves the transport of nutrients and secretion of key molecules by uterine epithelial cells to help
