Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of different cereals in piglet diets on the jejunal mucosa and the ileal and cecal microbiota during the first postweaning days. In Trial 1, 48 newly weaned pigs (7.95 kg BW; 26 d of age) were individually housed and distributed among 3 experimental diets containing white rice (Oryza sativa), naked oats (Avena sativa), or barley (Hordeum vulgare)...

Renal organic anion secretion has been implicated in numerous clinically significant drug interactions and adverse reactions, indicating the importance of a detailed understanding of this pathway for the development of optimum therapeutics. With the cloning of multiple genes encoding organic anion transporters (OATs), the study of organic anion secretion has entered the molecular age. In this r...

Spring barley is grown on about half of the Norwegian cereal area. The rest of the area is equally divided between wheat and oats. Most years the domestic production provides 70%-80% of the domestic market for bread wheat. Barley and oats are mainly grown for animal feed. During the years 2008-2012, severe epidemics of Fusarium head blight have led to increased mycotoxin contamination of cereal...

(Table is included in full-text article). Studies suggest that oats can be tolerated in the gluten-free diet by a majority of patients with coeliac disease. Concerns remain, however, about the possibility of contamination of commercially available oat products by wheat, barley and rye. The R5 ELISA allows the identification and quantification of wheat, barley and rye prolamins, and has demonstr...

This paper presents the Ontology for Accessing Transcription Systems (OATS), a knowledge base that supports interoperation over disparate transcription systems and practical orthographies. The knowledge base includes an ontological description of writing systems and relations for mapping transcription system segments to an interlingua pivot, the IPA. It includes orthographic and phonemic invent...
