The objective of this study was to reveal the effects of early life lactoferrin intervention on the liver metabolism in the suckling piglets. Sixty newborn piglets with an average initial body weight (BW) of 1.51 ± 0.05 kg were assigned to the control (CON) group and the lactoferrin (LF) group. P...
Diminished hepatocyte regeneration is a key feature of acute and chronic liver diseases and after extended liver resections, resulting in the inability to maintain or restore a sufficient functional liver mass. Therapies to restore hepatocyte regeneration are lacking, making liver transplantation...
The nutritional status of ewes during gestation and lactation is a key determinant of lamb growth performance. Supplementing rumen-protected arginine (RP-Arg) during these stages induces maternal metabolic adaptation, thereby maintaining fetal developmental homeostasis. However, the sustained eff...
Beyond motor neuron degeneration, homozygous mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene cause multiorgan and metabolic defects in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). However, the precise biochemical features of these alterations and the age of onset in the brain and peripheral ...
There is increased appreciation for the roles of the gut-liver axis in liver and gall diseases. Specific gut microbes are associated with susceptibility to gallstone diseases,while the relationship between intestinal flora and liver metabolism in the formation of gallstones remains unclear. C57BL...
