Blood metabolomics of 12-week-old female and male C57BL/6J mice that were exposed to either a control or an unhealthy high-fat/high-sugar (HFHS) diet during early-life, or early-life HFHS diet supplemented with a microbiota-targeted intervention (either a prebiotic combination (fructo-oligosaccha...
Background: Grazing yearly on pasture is a traditional practice for yaks, which cannot meet the requirements of yak products since the insufficient forage supplied in the cold season results in a long production cycle. An intensive feeding system increasing production efficiency has been selected...
In pre-weaning calves, both leucine and threonine play important roles in growth and muscle metabolism. In this study, metabolomics, proteomics and clinical chemistry were used to assess the effects of leucine and threonine supplementation added to milk replacer on 14 newborn Holstein male calves...
Taurine is a conditionally essential micronutrient and one of the most abundant amino acids in humans1-3. In endogenous taurine metabolism, dedicated enzymes are involved in biosynthesis of taurine from cysteine as well as the downstream metabolism of secondary taurine metabolites4,5. One such ta...
BACKGOUND: Ultra-processed food (UPF) accounts for a majority of calories consumed in the United States, but the impact on human health remains unclear. We aimed to identify poly-metabolite scores in blood and urine that are predictive of UPF intake.
METHODS AND FIN...
Aquafeed is one of the main costs in aquaculture and major efforts are being made to find sustainable ingredients that could improve production sustainability and efficiency. Our research focused on the inclusion of glycerol in the feed of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax), as it is a cheap...
Synbiotics may modulate gut microbiota and prevent infections. In a randomized controlled trial (NCT01625273) infants weaned from breast milk were fed formula with prebiotics (fructo- and galactooligosaccharides) or the same prebiotic formula with Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei s...
