Factors that influence the test day milk yield and composition

Authors: F.G. Silva, L.F. Brito, R.A. Torres, J.I. Ribeiro J�?ºnior, H.R. Oliveira, G.C. Caetano and M.T. Rodrigues

The objective of this research was to study the factors that influence the test day milk yield (TDMY) and percentages of protein, fat, lactose, and total dry extract obtained on test day. We evaluated 110,732 weekly milk production records from 1496 goats and 19,271 monthly milk constituent records from 1245 Alpine and Saanen goats, which were collected f.. Read More»

Phenotypic correction and stable expression of factor VIII in hemophilia A mice by embryonic stem cell therapy

Authors: J.J. Wang, Y. Kuang, L.L. Zhang, C.L. Shen, L. Wang, S.Y. Lu, X.B. Lu, J. Fei, M.M. Gu and Z.G. Wang

Hereditary deficiency of factor VIII (FVIII) leads to hemophilia A, a severe X-linked bleeding disorder. Current therapies include fixed-dose FVIII prophylaxis, factor replacement therapy, and most recently, gene therapy. Prophylaxis and FVIII replacement therapies are limited by incomplete efficacy, high cost, restricted availability, and development of .. Read More»

Hematological and biochemical changes in a Phrynops geoffroanus (Schweigger, 1812) population in response to environmental stressors

Authors: M.I.A. Silva

Turtles are among the most endangered vertebrate groups, and the main threats to populations are environmental pollution and habitat degradation. The species Phrynops geoffroanus, popularly known as “Geoffroy’s side-necked turtle”, has proliferated in polluted environments, where adverse conditions could infl.. Read More»

Cloning and functional analysis of goat SWEET1

Authors: L.Q. Zhu, Z.K. Bao, W.W. Hu, J. Lin, Q. Yang and Q.H. Yu

SWEETs are a recently discovered class of sugar transporters that mediate glucose uptake in the intestine and mammary glands. Our objectives were to clone goat SWEET1 and conduct a functional analysis of its effect on glucose efflux in goat mammary gland epithelial cells. We cloned and sequenced the goat SWEET1 gene from goat mammary glands, then conducte.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers for blue fox (Alopex lagopus)

Authors: Y.M. Li, P.C. Guo, J.Y. Lu, C.Y. Bai, Z.H. Zhao and S.Q. Yan

The blue fox, belonging to the family Canidae, is a coat color variant of the native arctic fox (Alopex lagopus). To date, microsatellite loci in blue fox are typically amplified using canine simple sequence repeat primers. In the present study, we constructed an (AC)n enrichment library, and isolated and identified 17 polymor.. Read More»

New polymorphic microsatellite loci of threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer (Teleostei, Monacanthidae), from Korean waters

Authors: C.-M. An, H.S. An, J.W. Lee and S.W. Hong

The threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer (Monacanthidae), is found mainly in the western Pacific. It is intensively caught in Korea and is a highly appreciated seafood delicacy. Consequently, the natural population of this species has drastically decreased, despite introductions from hatcheries. To provide information necessary for its conservatio.. Read More»

Cytogenetic description of Ancistrus abilhoai (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from Igua�?§u River basin, southern Brazil

Authors: M.O. Ribeiro,R.B. Noleto,C.A. Lorscheider,F.E. Porto,A.C. Prizon,C.H. Zawadzki,L.C. Oliveira and A.L.B. Portela Castro

The Iguaçu River basin is a tributary to the upper Paraná River in southern Brazil, and is considered an important aquatic ecoregion that, although having few species of fish, 51-71% of these are apparently endemic. Ancistrus abilhoai is one of three recently described species for this basin and is currently considered endemic to the basin. .. Read More»

Sequence characterization, polymorphism, and tissue expression profile of an effector immediate-early gene: activity-regulated cytoskeletal associated protein gene (Arc/Arg3.1) in swamp and river buffalo

Authors: F. Yuan, J.L. Huo1, D.L. Li, Y.Y. Yuan, W.Z. Lu, S. Song, L.J. Li and Y.W. Miao

The activity-regulated cytoskeletal associated protein (Arc/Arg3.1) has been implicated in experience-dependent synaptic plasticity and memory formation. However, information regarding its coding gene in buffalo remains scarce. In this study, the full-length of Arc/Arg3.1 was isolated and characterized (accession No. JX491649).. Read More»

Genetic and morphological diversity of Moenkhausia oligolepis (Characiformes: Characidae) populations in the tributaries of the Araguaia River, Brazil: implications for taxonomy and conservation

Authors: T.J. Domingos, L.N. Moraes, R.M. Moresco, V.P. Margarido and P.C. Venere

Molecular genetic assessments that consider ecological information, in addition to endogamy levels, genetic diversity, and the genetic differentiation among species and populations, are particularly important for the conservation of biological diversity. Prime candidates for conservation genetic review are those subject to hum.. Read More»
