Metabolomic study of stress responses leading to plant resistance in mandarin fruit mediated by preventive applications of Bacillus subtilis cyclic lipopeptides
Download2019-10-01
Tunsagool, Paiboon, Wang, Xiohang, Leelasuphakul, Wichitra, Jutidamrongphan, Warangkana, Phaonakrop, Narumon, Jaresitthikunchai, Janthima, Roytrakul, Sittiruk, Chen, Guanqun, Li, Liang
Although green mold rot caused by Penicillium digitatum is a major postharvest disease in mandarin fruit, the fruit’s defense mechanism at the metabolomic level is largely unknown. Here, the expressed metabolome network leading to plant resistance to stresses induced by exposing of different...

Jansson, Janet K., Lucio, Marianna, Willing, Ben, Dicksved, Johan, Fekete, Ages, Tysk, Curt, Schmitt-Kopplin, Philippe, Halfvarson, Jonas
The causes and etiology of Crohn's disease (CD) are currently unknown although both host genetics and environmental factors play a role. Here we used non-targeted metabolic profiling to determine the contribution of metabolites produced by the gut microbiota towards disease status of the host....

Methods for body composition analysis in obese adults/Métodos de análise da composição corporal em obesos
Download2014
Gomes, Aline C., Prado, Carla M., de Souza, Rávila G. M., Mota, João F.
The analysis of body composition in obese individuals has been intensively discussed due to the methodological limitations of most measurement methods. The aim of this thematic section was to clarify the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of methods of body composition evaluation in...

Microarray analysis in caudal medulla of cattle orally challenged with bovine spongiform encephalopathy
Download2011
Williams, John L., Moore, Stephen S., Almeida, Luciane M., Basu, Urmila, Guan, Leluo
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a fatal disorder in cattle characterized by progressive neurodegeneration of the central nervous system. We investigated the molecular mechanisms involved in neurodegeneration during prion infection through the identification of genes that are...

Microbiological evaluation of egg shell powder and optimization of its preparation technique
Download2007
Serafini, Álvaro B., Prado, Carla M., Fernandes, Daniela C., Naves, Maria M. V.
The research aimed to analyze the microbiological profile of the dust of the chicken eggshell distributed to needy communities, as an alternative source of calcium, as well as optimize the product development technique, targeting efficacy and safety in hygienic-sanitary terms. Sampling was...

Microbiological quality of organic vegetables produced in soil treated with different types of manure and mineral fertilizer
Download2006
Maia, Carla M., Carvalho, Isabel D., Serafini, Álvaro B., da Silva, Natan F., André, Maria C. P. B., Machado, Débora C.
An attempt was made to evaluate microbiological quality of horticultural crops grown organically. Three species of vegetables were used, lettuce (Lactuva sativa), radish (Raphanus sativus) and spinach (Tetragonia expansa), grown organically, in fertile soil. Six different treatments were applied:...

Jin, Weiwu, He, Maolong, Guan, Leluo, Romao, Josue M., McAllister, Tim
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs found to regulate several biological processes including adipogenesis. Understanding adipose tissue regulation is critical for beef cattle as fat is an important determinant of beef quality and nutrient value. This study analyzed the...

Milk-derived tripeptides IPP (Ile-Pro-Pro) and VPP (Val-Pro-Pro) promote adipocyte differentiation and inhibit inflammation in 3T3-F442A cells
Download2015
Chakrabarti, Subhadeep, Wu, Jianping
Milk derived tripeptides IPP (Ile-Pro-Pro) and VPP (Val-Pro-Pro) have shown promise as anti-hypertensive agents due to their inhibitory effects on angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Due to the key inter-related roles of hypertension, chronic inflammation and insulin resistance in the...

Minimally-invasive assessments of the behavioural and physiological effects of enriched colony cages on laying hens
Download2011
Korver, Doug R., Schaefer, Allan L., Cook, Nigel J., Feddes, John J. R., Church, John S., Haley, Derek B.
The well-being of laying hens in cages of 5, 10, 20 and 40-birds/cage, and enrichment with perches, nest boxes and scratch pads, was assessed using behavioral and physiological parameters. Laying hens were Lohmann Brown (n = 360) and White Leghorns (n = 360), housed from 17 to 65 weeks of age....

Chan, Catherine B., Wang, Xiaolin, Koshkin, Vasilij, Wheeler, Michael B., Scherer, Philipp E.
Excessive free fatty acid (FFA) exposure represents a potentially important diabetogenic condition that can impair insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. Because mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation is a main link between glucose metabolism and insulin secretion, in the present work we...
