Project description:MicroRNAs are amplifiers of monocyte inflammatory networks and repressors of metabolism Milk and blood isolated CD14+ monocyte cells taken from 5 infected Holstein friesians and 5 control Holstein friesians. Five animal infected with live S. uberis, cells extracted at 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours post infection.
Project description:The liver of dairy cows naturally displays a series of metabolic adaptation during the periparturient period in response to the increasing nutrient requirement of lactation. The hepatic adaptation is partly regulated by insulin resistance and it is affected by the prepartal energy intake level of cows. We aimed to investigate the metabolic changes in the liver of dairy cows during the periparturient at gene expression level and to study the effect of prepartal energy level on the metabolic adaptation at gene expression level.B13:N13
