We present a comprehensive analysis of the impact of increased salinity on Brachionus plicatilis, focusing on growth, reproduction, behavior, and fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) gene expression. We discovered delays in maturation and potential disruptions in the reproductive process under...

The prerequisite for lactic acid bacteria to perform their probiotic function is that they could survive the acid-stressed environment of production and application. In this experiment, the protective mechanism of milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) proteins on lactic acid bacteria under acid stress...

Mixed hybridisation trials involving Clarias gariepinus (CG), Heterobranchus longifilis (HL), and Heterobranchus bidorsalis (HB) were carried out with success using Ovulin as inducing agent. The crossing was followed by an early growth trial using post-yolk sac larvae that lasted ten days. Latency...

Glycogen is an essential nutritional component of the Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai), and its content is a crucial factor in selecting and breeding high-quality abalone. Glycogen catabolism is facilitated by two key enzymes: glycogen debranching enzyme (GDE) and glycogen phosphorylase...

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a kind of chronic intestinal inflammation accompanied with abdominal pain, diarrhea and hematochezia. Huanglian Ganjiang decoction (HGD) derived from "Beiji Qianjin Yao Fang" was used for UC patients clinically. However, the specific...

Biotic stresses adversely affect the leaf quality as well as the yield of mulberry (Morus spp.) which is used to feed mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori L.). The different biotic stresses which are of economic importance in mulberry are tukra caused by mealybug insect, root knot disease by nematode,...

To investigate the expression pattern of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) in food and the genotypic diversity of SEB-encoding gene in association with molecular characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of S. aureus, 498 isolates from retail food were screened for seb gene and detected for SEB ...

In cattle, 17β-estradiol (E2) is essential for triggering luteolysis via the synthesis of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α). We aimed to evaluate the effects of E2-treatment on day 15 of the estrous cycle on the transcript abundance of genes involved in the PGF2α synthetic cascade. Nelore heifers (N = 50)...

Japanese quail (JQ, Coturnix japonica) is a farmed animal with a high economic value and has been used extensively as an avian model for research. Germline chimera production based on cryopreserved primordial germ cells (PGCs) is possible for conservation management of quail breeds as successful...

Postmortem aging is a value-added process for meat. The objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamic changes and metabolic pathways of metabolites in Mongolian sheep during early postmortem chilled aging. Widely targeted metabolomic was used to analyze the metabolites of mutton within five...
