Project description:Antimicrobial peptide ChMAP-28 is a peptide of innate immunity of the goat Capra hircus. The goal of this research was to evaluate possible changes in the molecular signaling pathways in HL-60 leukemia cells and also to correlate this effect with the cytotoxic activity of the peptide.
Project description:In comparison with cow milk, goat (Capra hircus) milk contains much higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids, as well as higher levels of total fat, proteins, carbohydrates, calcium, and vitamins.The main objective of the present study was to better define the relationship of known miRNAs regulating milk fat metabolism. Our main purpose is to search for some known miRNAs regulating milk fat metabolism, to this end, we screened potential miRNAs with differential expression between peak-lactation and non-lactation.

Our main purpose is to search for some known miRNAs regulating milk fat metabolism, to this end, we screened potential miRNAs with differential expression between peak-lactation and non-lactation. qPCR gene expression profiling. Monocytes from three healthy goats (3 year old) of similar body weight. We screened a series of potential miRNAs involved in regulation of milk metabolism.
Project description:The Alpine goat Capra aegagrus hircus is parasitized by the barber pole worm (Haemonchus contortus). This relationship results in changes that affect the gene expression of the host, the pest, and the microbiome of both. Hematological parameters indicating genes that are expressed and/or the % Composition of abundant and diverse microbial flora are reflective of infestation. We identified responses to barber pole worms using blood-based analysis of transcripts and the microbiome. Seven (7) days post-inoculation (dpi) we identified 7,627 genes associated with different treatment types.
