Transcriptome profiling of the small intestinal epithelium in germfree versus conventional piglets
Download2007
Beever, Jonathan E., Band, Mark R., Marini, Juan C., Schook, Lawrence B., Chowdhury, Shankar R., Rund, Laurie A., Willing, Benjamin P., Gaskins, H. Rex, King, Dale E., Loor, Juan J., Lane, Adrienne B., Van Kessel, Andrew G.
Background To gain insight into host-microbe interactions in a piglet model, a functional genomics approach was used to address the working hypothesis that transcriptionally regulated genes associated with promoting epithelial barrier function are activated as a defensive response to the...

van Houten, B., Patel, M., Chan, C. B., Orrenius, S. , Fariss, M. W.
Oxidative stress and mitochondrial oxidative damage have been implicated in the etiology of numerous common diseases. The critical mitochondrial events responsible for oxidative stress–mediated cell death (toxic oxidative stress), however, have yet to be defined. Several oxidative events...

Expansion of ruminant-specific microRNAs shapes target gene expression divergence between ruminant and non-ruminant species
Download2013
Kommadath, A., Bao, H., Meng, Y., Plastow, G. S., Stothard, P., Sun, X., Arantes, A. S., Guan, L. L.
Background Understanding how species-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to species-specific phenotypes is a central topic in biology. This study aimed to elucidate the role of ruminant-specific miRNAs in shaping mRNA expression divergence between ruminant and non-ruminant species. ...

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-...

An individual’s body weight is tightly regulated by balancing food intake with energy expenditure. This is accomplished in part by secretion of the hormone leptin by adipocytes, an excess of which signals to reduce appetite and increase activity through action in the hypothalamic region of the...

Molecular cloning of cDNA encoding a 55-kDa multifunctional thyroid hormone binding protein of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum
Download1990-01-01
Fliegel, Larry, Newton, E., Burns, K., Michalak, M.
A cDNA clone encoding 55-kDa multifunctional, thyroid hormone binding protein of rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was isolated and sequenced. The cDNA encoded a protein of 509 amino acids, and a comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence with the NH2-terminal amino acid sequence...

Territorial behaviour is widespread in the animal kingdom, with creatures seeking to gain parts of space for their exclusive use. It arises through a complicated interplay of many different behavioural features. Extracting and quantifying the processes that give rise to territorial patterns...

Wilson, A.J., Pemberton, J.M., Coltman, D.W., Kruuk, L.E.B., Pilkington, J.G., Mifsud, D.V., Clutton-Brock, T.H.
There has recently been great interest in applying theoretical quantitative genetic models to empirical studies of evolution in wild populations. However, while classical models assume environmental constancy, most natural populations exist in variable environments. Here, we applied a novel...

Background Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assays normally give rise to certain percents of no-calls; the problem becomes severe when the target organisms, such as cattle, do not have a high resolution genomic sequence. Missing SNP genotypes, when related to target traits, would...

PFOS or PreFOS? Are perfluorooctane sulfonate precursors (PreFOS) important determinants of human and environmental perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) exposure?
Download2010
Benskin, J.P., Ross, M.S., Beesoon, S., Martin, J.W., Asher, B.J.
The extent to which perfluorooctanesulfonate precursors (PreFOS) play a role in human or environmental exposure to perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is not well characterized. The diversity of manufactured PreFOS and its degradation products (e.g. C8F17SO2R and C8F17SO2NR0R00, where R is H or F,...
