Postnatal growth and development of offspring can be influenced by stressors that their parents experienced before their conception, during their gestation, or during lactation. This phenomenon is known as developmental programming. Developmental programming has been shown to influence many of our large domesticated animals and may impact livestock production. An important component to developm...

Cyanobacteria are equipped with numerous mechanisms that allow them to survive under conditions of nutrient starvation, some of which are unique to these organisms. This review surveys the molecular mechanisms underlying acclimation responses to nitrogen and phosphorus deprivation, with an emphasis on non-diazotrophic freshwater cyanobacteria. As documented for other micro-organisms, nutrient l...

Nutritional manipulation targeted at specific periods of embryo or placental development can result in substantial changes in fetal organ development despite no effects on fetal weight. In particular, kidney and fat mass are greater in nutrient restricted offspring in conjunction with higher mRNA abundance for leptin, insulin-like growth factors I/II and glucocorticoid receptors. As young adult...

Significant variation in the birth weight of piglets has arisen due to increased sow prolificacy. Intestinal development and function may be affected by weight. Low (LBW) pigs also have reduced feed intake, leading further impairment intestinal development. The objective this study was examine pattern LBW normal (NBW) with nutrition (NN) or restricted (RN) pre-weaning period. Jejunal samples we...

(Matter 6, 397–428, February 1, 2023) In the originally published version of this article’s Supplemental Information, we used an incorrect image for P-ECM at 0 h in Figure S10B. Of note, only was incorrect; values and description figure caption were accurate all cases. S10B has now been corrected online with correct image. The authors apologize any confusion error may have caused.Figure S10BThe...

Abstract The molecular machinery and chromosome structures carrying out meiosis are frequently conserved from yeast to mammals. However, signals initiating appear divergent: while nutrient restriction induces in the system, retinoic acid (RA) its target Stra8 have been shown be necessary but not sufficient induce meiotic initiation mammalian germ cells. Here, we use primary culture of mouse und...
