Identification of differentially expressed genes in sexed pig embryos during post-hatching development in primiparous sows exposed to differing intermittent suckling and breeding strategies
Download2016
Chen, Tai Y., Foxcroft, George R., Blanes, Milena, Dyck, Michael K., Athorn, Rebecca, Langendijk, Piete, Tsoi, Stephen
The aim of commercial pig breeding programs is to maximize the number of pigs produced per sow per year. Given that sows exhibit an estrus during lactation is a potential means of increasing productivity of a pig breeding herd without reducing in lactation length, conventionally, weaning of...

Chanmugam, P. S., Okine, E. K., Wang, Z., Mir, P. S., Goonewardene, L. A., Mir, Z.
Four Alpine does were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design to determine the effects of feeding canola oil at four levels: 0, 2, 4 and 6% on milk fatty acid profile. The sum of C12:0 + C14:0 + C16:0(hypercholesterolemic fatty acids) decreased linearly and C18:0 + C18:1: C16:0 (indicator of...

Litter birth weight phenotype and maternal n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation in pigs
DownloadSpring 2013
Research reported in this thesis investigated effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) supplementation, litter birth weight phenotype, and their possible interactions, on reproductive performance of the gilt and sow and postnatal performance of the litter. In an initial study, LCPUFA...

Mapping and characterization of mel-43(sb41), a gene required for early embryonic viability in C. elegans
DownloadSpring 2010
A genetic screen for dominant, temperature-sensitive, maternal-effect embryonic lethal mutations identified mel-43(sb41), a gene required for early embryonic viability (Mitenko et al., 1997). Linkage mapping placed mel-43 within a small region on chromosome IV. Genetic analyses suggested that...

New Insight into the Role of Myocardial Fatty Acid Uptake and Utilization in Health and Disease
DownloadFall 2013
All mammalian cells rely on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to maintain function and for survival. The heart has the highest basal ATP demand of any organ due to the necessity for continuous contraction. As such, the ability of the cardiomyocyte to monitor cellular energy status and adapt the supply...

Phenotypic correlations of fatty acid composition among intramuscular, subcutaneous and intermuscular fat tissues in concentrate-fed beef cattle of differing genotypes
Download2009
Wang, Z., Aldai, N., Osoro, K., Dugan, M. E. R., Crews Jr, D. H., Li, C.
In an attempt to predict intramuscular fatty acid composition using easily accessible fat depots, between-tissue correlations were studied in 75 Asturiana de los Valles bulls with different levels of muscular hypertrophy, and 25 Asturiana de la Montaña bulls. Trans-18:1 in intramuscular fat was...

Proteomic analysis of egg white proteins was performed to elucidate their metabolic fates during first days of embryo development using 2-DE coupled with a LC–MS/MS. A total of 91 protein spots were analyzed, representing 37 proteins belonging to ‘Gallus gallus’, of 19 proteins were detected in...
