Characterization of the Mitochondrial Genome of the Vietnamese Central Highland Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) [PDF]
AnimalsHybridization between domestic pigs and wild boars of unknown origins has disrupted the precious gene pool of Vietnamese wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations in the Central Highlands. However, the genetic background of Vietnamese wild boars remains largely

Dietary nitrate supplementation prevents radiotherapy-induced xerostomia
eLife, 2021 Management of salivary gland hypofunction caused by irradiation (IR) therapy for head and neck cancer remains lack of effective treatments. Salivary glands, especially the parotid gland, actively uptake dietary nitrate and secrete it into saliva.

On the Authorship, Availability, and Improper Use of Sus scrofa ferus for Referring to Wild Pigs
Taxonomy, 2022 The wild boar, Sus scrofa, is one of the most successful large mammals in terms of geographic distribution. Along with its domestic descendant, the pig, they are extremely important animals for conservation, economy, human sustenance, and well-being ...

Behaviour, heart rate, and heart rate variability in pigs exposed to novelty
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2016 In the present study, we investigated behavioural responses and determined parameters of heart rate variability (HRV) to elucidate a relative activation of autonomic nervous system (ANS) during baseline (10 min) and in response to potentially stressful ...

Lack of airway submucosal glands impairs respiratory host defenses
eLife, 2020 Submucosal glands (SMGs) are a prominent structure that lines human cartilaginous airways. Although it has been assumed that SMGs contribute to respiratory defense, that hypothesis has gone without a direct test.
