Abstract
Background
The gut microbiota is a key regulator of host lipid metabolism. In indigenous pigs, variation in growth performance and intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition has been linked to microbiota-host interactions, yet the specific taxa and metabolites that govern host lipid ...
BACKGROUND: Long-distance transportation, a frequent practice in the cattle industry, stresses calves and results in morbidity, mortality and growth suppression, leading to welfare concerns and economic losses. Alkaline mineral water (AMW) is an electrolyte additive containing mu...
This study adopted the MRM wide-targeted metabolomics approach to detect metabolites in herbal plant samples. Using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (QTrap 6500+), combined with specific extraction and separation methods, qualitative an...
High-density aquaculture of the American bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeiana) frequently result in hepatic lipid accumulation and intestinal damage. This study investigated the effects of Glycyrrhizic Acid (GA) supplementation in feed of bullfrogs on the growth performance and hepato-intestinal ...
The high-concentrate diet presents significant challenges regarding intestinal nutrient absorption and hepatic energy metabolism in beef cattle. Therefore, it is crucial to develop novel intervention strategies to solve it. This study examined the effects of oregano essential oil (OEO) on the gro...
Bacterial growth substrates influence a variety of biological functions, including the biosynthesis and regulation of lipid intermediates. The extent of this rewiring is not well understood nor has it been considered in the context of virally-infected cells. Here, we use a one-host-two-temperate ...
Gut microbiota can modulate nutrient metabolism, considerably affecting host growth and development. However, mechanisms by which gut microbiota regulate large yellow croaker (LYC; Larimichthys crocea) growth remain unclear. We assessed gut contents of fast-growing male (IWHM) and female (IWHF) L...
BACKGROUND: Converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals using engineered cyanobacteria is a promising strategy to tackle the global warming and energy shortage issues. However, most cyanobacteria are autotrophic and use CO2 as a sole carbon source, which makes it h...
