In animal feeds and pet food, meat industry rendered by-products as a source of high-quality protein are commonly used. Among all rendered protein sources, poultry carcasses and neck meal are frequently used as ingredients in commercial pet foods due to their agreeable fatty acid and amino acid profiles, and they have no impact on the palatability of the diet. Nonetheless, it is unclear how poultry by-product meal affects companion animals regarding diet digestibility and fecal quality.

The increasing incidence of diabetes and the need to further understand its cellular basis has resulted in the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Nonetheless, the quest to noninvasively ascertain β-cell mass and function has not been achieved. Manganese (Mn)-enhanced MRI is presented here as a tool to image β-cell functionality in cell culture and isolated islets. Similar to calcium, extracellular Mn was taken up by glucose-activated β-cells resulting in 200% increase in MRI contrast enhancement, versus nonactivated cells. Similarly, glucose-activated islets showed an in

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the impact of dietary Saccharomyces boulardii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the immunity of birds vaccinated against Pasteurella multocida and Salmonella gallinarum. A total of 105 male Cobb 500 broilers were divided into four groups: T1 (vaccinated, no supplement, n = 30), T2 (vaccinated, S. boulardii supplement, n = 30), T3 (vaccinated, S. cerevisiae supplement, n = 30), and T4 (non-vaccinated, no supplement, n = 15). Chickens received a corn-soy diet with 1x107 CFU/g of S. boulardii or S. cerevisiae for 42 days. Immune response was assessed by indirect ELISA

ABSTRACT The objective was to examine the effects of supplementing different levels of zeolite in the diet of laying hens during the laying phase, at 54 weeks of age, on production performance, egg quality, ammonia volatilization, excreta pH, blood parameters, weight, and organ morphometry. The treatments consisted of a control diet free of zeolite and five diets including increasing levels of zeolite (0.7, 1.4, 2.1, 2.8, and 3.5%). A completely randomized design was adopted with eight replicates of five birds per plot, totaling 240 laying hens, for four 28-day periods. Results were subjected

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of granule-bound starch-binding domain fusion gene expression on the structure and properties of potato starch. The glgB/GASBD fusion gene and the glgB gene for control were transferred into the potato cultivar Desiree using Agrobacterium-mediated method, which were expressed in potato tubers driven by the potato granule-bound starch synthase gene promoter. The accumulation of glgB/GASBD fusion protein in starch granules was analyzed by Western blot hybridization. A large amount of glgB/GASBD fusion protein was found to accumulate in

However, our understanding of immune processes is still incomplete and current methods of observing immune cells are time consuming or invasive. Corneal dendritic cells are potent antigen-presenting cells and can be imaged with in-vivo corneal confocal microscopy. Corneal dendritic cell densities and nerve parameters in patients treated with neurotoxic chemotherapy were investigated.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exercise in modulating biomarkers of sarcopenia in a treatment naïve transgenic adenocardinoma of the mouse prostate (TRAMP) model. Thirty TRAMP mice were randomized to either exercise (voluntary wheel running) or no-treatment control group for a period of 20 weeks. During necropsy, gastrocnemius muscles and prostate tumors were harvested and weighed. Gastrocnemius concentrations of myostatin, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were quantified. Exercise mice had greater muscle mass than controls (p=0.04).
