Fall 2009
Pig follicle development is a complex but poorly understood process involving both gonadotrophins and local ovarian factors. A series of studies sought to investigate these intrafollicular cell-to-cell interactions. Microarray analysis combined with gene ontology revealed that the oocyte,...

Isolation and characterization of calcium binding glycoproteins of cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles
Download1990-01-01
Michalak, M., Fliegel, Larry, Wlasichuk, K.
Two major Ca2(+)-binding glycoproteins Mr 120,000 and 100,000 were isolated from 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid -solubilized bovine heart sarcolemma membrane. Peroxidase-conjugated concanavalin A and wheat germ agglutinin lectins bind strongly to the isolated 120-...

Maternal and Paternal Genomes Differentially Affect Myofibre Characteristics and Muscle Weights of Bovine Fetuses at Midgestation
Download2013
Kruk, Z. A., Xiang R., Rutley, D. L., Thomsen, D. A., Anderson, G. I., Fitzsimmons, C., Ghanipoor-Samami, M., Hiendleder, S., Roberts, C. T., Eindorf, T., Burns, B. M., Greenwood, P. L., Johns, W. H.
Postnatal myofibre characteristics and muscle mass are largely determined during fetal development and may be significantly affected by epigenetic parent-of-origin effects. However, data on such effects in prenatal muscle development that could help understand unexplained variation in postnatal...

MicroRNA Buffering and Altered Variance of Gene Expression in Response to Salmonella Infection
Download2014
Plastow, G. S., Bao, H., Kommadath, A., Guan, L. L., Tuggle, C. K., Stothard, P.
One potential role of miRNAs is to buffer variation in gene expression, although conflicting results have been reported. To investigate the buffering role of miRNAs in response to Salmonella infection in pigs, we sequenced miRNA and mRNA in whole blood from 15 pig samples before and after...

Modification of steer muscle composition and meat quality through age at slaughter, hormonal implants, ractopamine hydrochloride feed supplementation, and breed crosses
DownloadFall 2010
Management systems that enhance carcass yield can increase the efficiency and competitiveness of beef producers, but meat quality should not be negatively affected. Continental or British crossbred steers were finished to either 12 to 13 or 18 to 20 months of age and were either untreated or...

Molecular cloning, pharmacological characterization and brain mapping of the melanocortin 4 receptor in the goldfish: Involvement in the control of food intake
Download2003
Schioth, H.B., Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E., Ringholm, A.
We report cloning, pharmacological characterization, tissue distribution, detailed brain mapping, and role in control of food intake of melanocortin 4 receptor in goldfish (gMC4R). The gMC4R protein has 68% identity with the human ortholog and is conserved in important functional domains....

Novel feed enzyme delivery method: Binding exogenous feed enzymes to Bacillus spores to improve enzyme stability and total tract digestibility
DownloadFall 2018
The effects of binding feed enzymes to Bacillus subtilis (strain RK28) spores on enzyme stability and digestion in cattle were studied in comparison to unbound enzymes. Optimal conditions for adsorbing six different enzymes (α-amylase, β-glucanase, feruloyl esterase, phytase, purified xylanase,...

1981
Thirty-five non-pregnant beef cows in three age classes (< 4 yr, 4–5 yr, and > 5 yr) were allocated at random to two treatments (fed, unfed) soon after weaning in November 1978. On day 1, the unfed group of 17 cows were marketed and the fed group of 18 cows were introduced to grain feeding. After...

Ovarian and endocrine responses associated with the treatment of cystic ovarian follicles in dairy cows with gonadotropin releasing hormone and prostaglandin F2alpha, with or without exogenous progesterone
Download2004
Schmitt, Eric J. -P., Mattos, Ricardo C., Ambrose, Divakar J., Thatcher, William W., Lopes, Flavia L.
The objectives of this observational study were to document ovarian and endocrine responses associated with the treatment of cystic ovarian follicles (COFs) in dairy cows, using gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and prostaglandin F2α(PGF) with or without exogenous progesterone. A secondary...

Price, M. A., Berg, R. T., Butterfield, R. M., Hardin, R. T., Jones, S. D. M., Fukuhara, R.
Seventy-five young, full-fed, Shorthorn-sired cattle (36 heifers, 24 steers, 15 bulls) were slaughtered over a wide liveweight range (150-550 kg) to evaluate the influence of sex on the patterns of fat deposition.
