A characterization of inflammatory and structural markers within the rumen epithelium during grain-induced ruminal acidosis in lactating dairy cattle
Download2012
Steele, Michael A., Plaizier, Jan C., AlZahal, Ousama, Dionissopoulos, Louis, McBride, Brian W.
The objective of this study was to characterize the mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory and structural genes in the rumen epithelium during grain-induced ruminal acidosis in lactating dairy cattle. A total of 16 rumen-fistulated, lactating Holstein dairy cattle (618±35 kg of body weight,...

Butyrate and subacute ruminal acidosis affect abundance of membrane proteins involved with proton and short chain fatty acid transport in the rumen epithelium of dairy cows

Steele, Michael A., Dionissopoulos, Louis, McBride, Brian W., AlZahal, Ousama, Greenwood, Sabrina L., Laarman, Anne H.
The objective of this study was to elucidate the effects of butyrate on the Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) membrane transport proteins and proton membrane transport proteins in the rumen epithelium. Sixteen mid-lactation cows were fed a 44% Non-Fibre Carbohydrate (NFC) diet and divided into a...

Butyrate-mediated genomic changes involved in the non-specific host defenses, matrix remodelling and the immune response in the rumen epithelium of cows afflicted with subacute ruminal acidosis

Steele, Michael A., Greenwood, Sabrina L., Plaizier, Jan C., McBride, Brian W., Matthews, James C., Laarman, Anne H., AlZahal, Ousama, Dionissopoulos, Louis
Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is a disorder in cattle which can lead to chronic inflammation in the rumen epithelium, known as rumenitis. Butyrate has been shown to attenuate some of the detrimental effects of inflammatory gastroenteral disorders but the molecular mechanisms mediated by...
