Polymorphisms in the SIRT5 gene and their association with body measurement and ultrasound traits in Qinchuan cattle
Authors: L.S. Gui,H.C. Wang,G.Y. Liu and L.S. Zan
Silent information regulator 5 (SIRT5), a member of the Sirtuin family class III nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent protein deacetylases, plays an important role in metabolic and aging processes in mammals. We identified 4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (G22010A, G22052A, G22119T, and G22245C) in the 3' untranslated regions of the SIRT5 g.. Read More»

Low diversity of the major histocompatibility complex class II DRA gene in domestic goats (Capra hircus) in Southern China
Authors: L.P. Chen, G.X. E, Y.J. Zhao, R.S. Na, Z.Q. Zhao, J.H. Zhang, Y.H. Ma, Y.W. Sun, T. Zhong, H.P. Zhang and Y.F. Huang
DRA encodes the alpha chain of the DR heterodimer, is closely linked to DRB and is considered almost monomorphic in major histocompatibility complex region. In this study, we identified the exon 2 of DRA to evaluate the immunogenetic diversity of Chinese south indigenous goat. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms in anuntranslated region and one synonymous.. Read More»

WY14643 combined with all-trans retinoic acid acts via p38 MAPK to induce â??browningâ? of white adipocytes in mice
Authors: J. Wang, G.J. Sun, J. Ding, J.X. Zhang, Y. Cui, H.R. Li and S.J. Wang
The ability of mammals to resist body fat accumulation is linked to their ability to expand the number of “brown adipocytes” within white fat depots. All-trans retinoic acid (t-RA) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα) have been implicated in “browning-like” or “browning” programs, respect.. Read More»

Tetradecyl 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury in adult rats
Authors: Y.M. Ding, J.Y. Zhu, S.J. Zhang, S.S. Zhang, C. Wang, L.L. Wang and X. Zhang
Tetradecyl 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate (ABG001) is a small molecule separated from gentian extract that has a similar effect to nerve growth factor. It is not clear whether it can promote functional recovery in animals suffering from a central nervous system injury. In order to explore the role of ABG001 in restoration of tissue str.. Read More»

Fermented milk elaborated with Camellia sinensis
Authors: O.A.S. Ribeiro, M.I.A. Silva and C.A. Boari
This study aimed to develop and to characterize fermented dairy beverage formulated with Camellia sinensis. The infusion was elaborated with the addiction of dehydrated leaves of C. sinensis in whey (1g/100g) which added in sweetened milk (10% sucrose w/w) coagulated by Streptococcus salivarius subspecies thermophilus and Lact..

Genetic correlations between visual slaughter conformation scores and growth and reproductive traits in Canchim cattle
Authors: L.H.F. Borba, F. Baldi, F.L.B. Feitosa, L.O.C. da Silva, A.S.C. Pereira and M.M. Alencar
We obtained heritability and (co)variance component estimates for slaughter conformation scores at 420 days of age (SCS420), age at calving (first, AFC; second, ASC), calving occurrence until 38 months of age (CP38), weight at 420 days of age (W420), and scrotal circumference at 420 days (SC420) in Canchim (5/8 Charolais + 3/8..

Finishing precocity visual score and genetic associations with growth traits in Angus beef cattle
Authors: D.M. Everling, T. Bresolin, P.R.N. Rorato, R.O. Araujo, A.A. Boligon, T. Weber, M.A. Dornelles and L.T. Campos
Finishing precocity visual score selection was adopted to estimate the time from birth to reach slaughter age. This study estimated (co)variance components and genetic correlations for the finishing precocity score at weaning (WP) and yearling (YP) stages by using daily weight gain (BWG = from birth to weaning; WYG = from wean..

Genomic analysis of gum disease and hypertrichosis in foxes
Authors: J.-A.B.J. Clark, D. Whalen and H.D. Marshall
Since the 1940s, a proliferative gingival disease called hereditary hyperplastic gingivitis (HHG) has been described in the farmed silver fox, Vulpes vulpes (Dyrendahl and Henricson 1960). HHG displays an autosomal recessive transmission and has a pleiotropic relationship with superior fur quality in terms of length and thickn.. Read More»

Dynamics of chromosomal evolution in the genus Hypsiboas (Anura: Hylidae)
Authors: M.A. Carvalho, M.T. Rodrigues, S. Siqueira and C. Garcia
Hylidae is one of the most species-rich families of anurans, and 40% of representatives in this group occur in Brazil. In spite of such remarkable diversity, little is known about this family and its taxonomical and systematic features. Most hylids have 2n = 24, even though most of the cytogenetic data are mainly obtained base.. Read More»
