Integrating the building blocks of agronomy and biocontrol into an IPM strategy for wheat stem sawfly
Download2011-01-01
Beres, Brian L., Cárcamo, Héctor A., Weaver, David K., Dosdall, Lloyd M., Evenden, Maya L., Hill, Bernard D., McKenzie, Ross H., Yang, Rong-Cai, Spaner, Dean M.
The wheat stem sawfly(Cephus cinctus Norton [Hymenoptera: Cephidae]) is a serious threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and other cereal grains in the northern Great Plains. Insecticides have proven ineffective for sawfly control and can be detrimental to beneficial insects. The management of...

Intraruminal administration of Megasphaera elsdenii modulated rumen fermentation profile in mid-lactation dairy cows
Download2012
Mazzolari, Alberto, Yang, Wen Z., Terrill, Sarah J., Zebeli, Qendrim, Dunn, Suzanna M., Ametaj, Burim N.
This study evaluated the effects of intraruminal administration of Megasphaera elsdenii on ruminal fermentation patterns, the profile of plasma metabolites, and milk yield and composition of mid-lactation dairy cows. Eight primiparous, ruminally cannulated Holstein cows were arranged in a paired...

Intravaginal lactic acid bacteria modulated local and systemic immune responses and lowered the incidence of uterine infections in periparturient dairy cows
Download2015
Dunn, Suzanna M., Odhiambo, John F., Farooq, Umar, Ametaj, Burim N., Lam, Tran, Deng, Qilan
The objective of this investigation was to evaluate whether intravaginal infusion of a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cocktail around parturition could influence the immune response, incidence rate of uterine infections, and the overall health status of periparturient dairy cows. One hundred pregnant...

Inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides have divergent effects on colitis and commensal microbiota in HLA-B27 transgenic rats
Download2012-01-01
Koleva, Petya, Dieleman, Levinus, Sun, Xu, Gänzle, Michael G., Valcheva, Rosica
Modulation of intestinal microbiota by non-digestible carbohydrates may reduce inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) on intestinal microbiota and colitis in HLA-B27 transgenic rats, a...

Boyd, Robert K, Curtis, Jonathan M.
Spontaneous and collision-induced dissociation processes of C02+ ions, formed by electron impact, have been studied in a double-focusing mass spectrometer using techniques of ion kinetic energy spectroscopy. The predissociation process, responsible for unimolecular dissociation of C02+ on the...

Intestinal microbiota mediate toxicity of irinotecan (CPT-11) cancer therapies and cause systemic infection after CPT-11-induced loss of barrier function. The intestinal microbiota and their functions are thus potential targets for treatment to mitigate CPT-11 toxicity. However, microbiota...

Background Isoferulic acid (IFA), a naturally occurring cinnamic acid derivative, is a main active ingredient of the rhizoma of Cimicifuga dahurica. It has been shown various pharmacological activities. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of IFA against MG-induced protein glycation...

Isoferulic acid, a new anti-glycation agent, inhibits fructose- and glucose-mediated protein glycation in vitro
Download2013
Meeprom, Aramsri, Adisakwattana, Sirichai, Sompong, Weerachat, Chan, Catherine B.
The inhibitory activity of isoferulic acid (IFA) on fructose- and glucose-mediated protein glycation and oxidation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated. Our data showed that IFA (1.25–5 mM) inhibited the formation of fluorescent advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and non-fluorescent...

Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Falarz, Lucas, Jayawardhane, Kethmi, Chen, Guanqun
SUMMARY Microalgal oils in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs) are broadly used as nutritional supplements and biofuels. Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the final step of acyl-CoA-dependent biosynthesis of TAG and is considered a key target for manipulating oil production....
