LONG-RANGE SIGNALING AT THE INTESTINAL-NEURAL AXIS PROMOTES ORGANISMAL HEME HOMEOSTASIS IN C. ELEGANS
(2014)
Metazoans synthesize and regulate intracellular heme in a cell autonomous manner although genetic evidence in vertebrates suggests that cell non-autonomous mechanisms may exist at the organismal level. In <italic>C. ...
POTENTIAL INTERACTIONS OF DIETARY CATION-ANION DIFFERENCE AND MONENSIN WITH RESPECT TO FEED EFFICIENCY IN LACTATING DAIRY CATTLE
(2014)
The ionophore monensin improves feed efficiency (FE) by increasing sodium uptake in rumen bacteria, which alters rumen fermentation. Dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) represents the balance between the dietary strong ...
The Effect of Sialic Acid on the Success of Poultry Spermatozoa Cryopreservation
(2014)
Avian semen cryopreservation is an invaluable reproductive strategy for conserving desirable genetic traits for commercial poultry production and endangered species conservation. Here we provide the effects of including ...
The role of interleukin-12 for mTOR regulation of memory CTLs
(2014)
A major goal of vaccines is to induce functional immune memory, and efforts to improve the efficacy of vaccines targeting memory CTLs have revealed an important immunoregulatory role of rapamycin, a specific mTOR inhibitor. ...
A COMPARISON OF PROGESTERONE RECEPTOR GENE EXPRESSION IN THE OLFACTORY EPITHELIUM OF REPRODUCTIVE AND NON-REPRODUCTIVE FATHEAD MINNOWS, PIMEPHALES PROMELAS
(2014)
Fish have a specialized organ called the olfactory epithelium that enables them to detect chemical cues in water. Among these cues are progestogens excreted by females that function as pheromones and stimulate male ...
Investigating genetic and health factors related to AA amyloidosis prevalence in captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus): implications for population management
(2014)
Systemic amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality among captive cheetahs, yet wild cheetahs are virtually unaffected, suggesting the phenomenon is a result of the captive ...
Prevalence of Salmonella on Laying Hen Farms and Control of Colonization in Poultry Through Egg Yolk Antibodies
(2014)
In the United States, rates of foodborne illness caused by Salmonella have not changed significantly. One study in this thesis estimated Salmonella prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of various samples from conventional ...
CHARACTERIZATION, ENRICHMENT, AND IN VITRO CULTURE OF SPERMATOGONIAL STEM CELLS IN THE DOMESTIC CAT: A MODEL FOR RARE AND ENDANGERED FELIDS
(2014)
Spermatogenesis is a highly prolific process in which millions of spermatozoa are produced daily. Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), the adult stem cell population of the testis, sustain this process by providing a constant ...
