Denovo synthesized fatty acids as regulators of milk fat synthesis
(2011)
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- ...
Determination of the dynamics of feline follicle metabolism
(2013)
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 ...
DETERMINATION OF OPTIMAL DCAD CONCENTRATION AND RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF POTASSIUM VERSUS SODIUM CATION SUPPLEMENTATION FOR MAXIMAL FEED EFFICIENCY IN LACTATING DAIRY COWS
(2013)
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 ...
Effect of Air on Rumen Gas Production
(2021)
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 Impacts of Branched Chain Amino Acid Supplementation on Adipocyte Function
(2021)
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 ...
The Importance of Transfer Receptor 1 in Adipose Tissue
(2021)
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 ...
Regulation of Mitochondrial Metabolism and Lipogenesis
(2021)
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. ...
