REDUCED CAMPYLOBACTER INFECTION AND ENHANCED PERFORMANCE IN POULTRY WITH BIOACTIVE PHENOLICS THROUGH EPIGENETIC MODULATION OF THE GUT MICROBIOME
(2017)
Campylobacter jejuni, a major enteric pathogen and a natural resident in the poultry gut, causes gastrointestinal illness followed by severe post-infection complications, including Guillain-Barré syndrome, reactive arthritis, ...
INVESTIGATING SPERM MATURATION DURING EPIDIDYMAL TRANSIT IN THE DOMESTIC CAT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNIQUES
(2017)
Understanding the physiological processes involved in the sperm maturation process is critical to elucidating mechanisms underlying male infertility. Maturation of the spermatozoa during epididymal transit is associated ...
ROLE OF ANNEXIN A6 IN SENSORY NEURONS DURING EARLY CHICK CRANIAL GANGLIA DEVELOPMENT
(2017)
The cranial sensory ganglia are created from neural crest cells and placode cell-derived neurons. Defects in the migration and interaction of these cells can cause abnormalities in craniofacial development and the sensory ...
The Role of Adipocyte Lipid Droplet Lipolysis in Thermogenesis and Metabolic Health
(2017)
My thesis was focused on the role of Comparative Gene Identification-58 (CGI-58)-mediated adipocyte lipid droplet (LD) lipolysis in thermogenesis and metabolic health. LD lipolysis in energy-dissipating brown adipose tissue ...
THE REGULATION OF THE INTESTINAL COPPER EXPORTER IS COORDINATED WITH SYSTEMIC COPPER HOMEOSTASIS
(2017)
Copper (Cu) plays key catalytic and regulatory roles in biochemical reactions essential for normal growth, development, and health. Defects in Cu metabolism cause Menkes and Wilson’s disease, myeloneuropathy, and cardiovascular ...
BIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF REPRODUCTION IN CAPTIVE CRANES
(2017)
There are 15 species of cranes found throughout the world, 11 of which are listed as vulnerable or endangered. All 15 species are currently managed in captivity; however, with increased threats to wild crane habitats and ...
FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF HEME TRANSPORTERS IN ZEBRAFISH
(2017)
Hrg1 and Mrp5 are identified as eukaryotic heme importer and exporter, respectively. Two Hrg1 paralogs have been annotated in zebrafish genome, Hrg1a (Slc48a1b) and Hrg1b (Slc48a1a) with 84% homology in protein sequences. ...
The effect of feeding mixed tocopherol oil on body accumulation and immune cell functions in lactating holstein dairy cows
(2017)
Non-α-tocopherol (i.e. β, γ, and δ-tocopherol) supplements are as important as α-tocopherol with regard to maintaining lactating dairy cow health. However, information on non-α-tocopherol bioaccumulation and its effects ...
