Dodson, Michael V., Hausman, Gary J., Guan, LeLuo, Du, Min, Rasmussen, Theodore P., Poulos, Sylvia P., Mir, Priya, Bergen, Werner G., Fernyhough, Melinda E., McFarland, Douglas C., Rhoads, Roberts P., Soret, Beatrice, Reecy, James M., Velleman, Sandra G., Jiang, Zhihua
Skeletal muscle stem cells from food-producing animals are of interest to agricultural life scientists seeking to develop a better understanding of the molecular regulation of lean tissue (skeletal muscle protein hypertrophy) and intramuscular fat (marbling) development. Enhanced understanding of...

Xylo-oligosaccharides and virginiamycin differentially modulate gut microbial composition in chickens
Download2015
Zhao, Xin, Pourabedin, Mohsen, Guan, Leluo
Background The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance in pathogens have led to a restriction on the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in animal feed in some countries. The potential negative after-effects of a ban on AGPs could be mitigated by improving animal intestinal health...

Crystallization and preliminary x-ray diffraction studies of DNA decamer d(CCAGGCCTGG) complexed with cobalt(III)-pepleomycin
Download2004
Kamiya, Nobuo , Tsujimoto, Gozoh, Kawano, Yoshiaki, Yaguma, Kouji, Guan, Leluo, Sugiura, Yukio, Matsumoto, Osamu
Crystals of the self-complementary oligonucleotide d(CCAGGCCTGG) [Heinemann & Alings (1989), J. Mol. Biol. 210, 369-381] complexed with the hydroperoxide of cobalt-pepleomycin (CoPEP) were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 298 K. An X-ray diffraction data set was collected...

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...

Gene-expression profiling of calves 6 and 9 months after inoculation with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis
Download2014
David, Joel, De Buck, Jeroen, Barkema, Herman W., Guan, Leluo
Early detection of Johne's disease (JD) caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is essential to reduce transmission; consequently, new diagnostic techniques and approaches to detect MAP or markers of early MAP infection are being explored. The objective was to identify...

Lipid metabolism, adipocyte depot physiology and utilization of meat animals as experimental models for metabolic research
Download2010-01-01
Dodson, Michael V., Hausman, Gary J., Guan, LeLuo, Du, Min, Rasmussen, Theodore P., Poulos, Sylvia P., Mir, Priya, Bergen, Werner G., Fernyhough, Melinda E., McFarland, Douglas C., Rhoads, Robert P., Soret, Beatrice, Reecy, James M., Velleman, Sandra G., Jiang, Zhihua
Meat animals are unique as experimental models for both lipid metabolism and adipocyte studies because of their direct economic value for animal production. This paper discusses the principles that regulate adipogenesis in major meat animals (beef cattle, dairy cattle, and pigs), the definition...

The gut microbiome and its potential role in the development and function of newborn calf gastrointestinal tract
Download2015
Grebiel, Philip J., Malmuthuge, Nilusha, Guan, Leluo
A diverse microbial population colonizes the sterile mammalian gastrointestinal tract during and after the birth. There is increasing evidence that this complex microbiome plays a crucial role in the development of the mucosal immune system and influences newborn health. Microbial colonization is...

Taxonomic assessment of rumen microbiota using total RNA and targeted amplicon sequencing approaches
Download2016
Janssen, Peter H., Li, Fuyong, Sun, Xu, Cox, Faith, Guan, Leluo, Henderson, Gemma
Taxonomic characterization of active gastrointestinal microbiota is essential to detect shifts in microbial communities and functions under various conditions. This study aimed to identify and quantify potentially active rumen microbiota using total RNA sequencing and to compare the outcomes of...

Altered microRNA expression in bovine subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues from cattle under different diet
Download2012
Guan, Leluo, Romao, Josue M., McAllister, Tim, He, Maolong, Jin, Weiwu
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of molecular regulators found to participate in numerous biological processes, including adipogenesis in mammals. This study aimed to evaluate the differences of miRNA expression between bovine subcutaneous (backfat) and visceral fat depots (perirenal...

Toullec, Jean-Yves, Meng, Yan, Guan, Leluo, Clark, Melody S., Moore, Stephen S., Thorne, Michael A. S., Peck, Lloyd S.
Background The Antarctic krill Euphausia superba is a keystone species in the Antarctic food chain. Not only is it a significant grazer of phytoplankton, but it is also a major food item for charismatic megafauna such as whales and seals and an important Southern Ocean fisheries crop. Ecological...
