The objectives of the dissertation research were to determine the role of <italic>denovo</italic> synthesized fatty acids (DNFA) in the regulation of milk fat synthesis. Milk fat responses to increasing amounts of short- ...

The metabolism of feline follicles has been largely overlooked in reproductive science. The primary objective of this study was to determine differences in metabolite profiles and glucose carbon fluxes in feline follicles ...

The objective was to determine the optimal dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) required to maximize 3.5% fat-corrected milk (FCM) and feed efficiency (FE; FCM per dry matter intake (DMI)) in lactating dairy cows. When ...

Ruminants may swallow air as they eat and ruminate throughout the day. However, it is unclear as to how the introduction of oxygen impacts fermentation pathways, bacteria, and yeast within this mostly anaerobic environment. ...

The branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are three essential amino acids: valine, leucine, and isoleucine. Adipose tissue has high rates of BCAA degradation and this has been shown to fuel normal function. Recent literature ...

Iron homeostasis is essential for maintaining cellular function in a variety of cell types. Transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), which is expressed ubiquitously, facilitates cellular iron (Fe) uptake through receptor-mediated ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most common liver disorders with a global prevalence of over 25%. Fatty liver is the most common comorbidity of insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. ...
