This study evaluated the status of well-being wild Nandus nandus in Kawadighi Haor through morphometric and gastrointestinal indices local people’s perceptions. Basic macroscopic morphology tract (GIT), viscera somatic index (VSI), hepatosomatic (HSI), condition factor (K), length–weight relationships, gut histology were analyzed from regular commercial catch. The GIT includes a tube-like esoph...

A growing amount of research indicates that abnormalities in the gastrointestinal (GI) system during development might be a common factor in multiple neurological disorders and might be responsible for some of the shared comorbidities seen among these diseases. For example, many patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have symptoms associated with GI disorders. Maternal zinc status may be ...

The intestine of intrauterine growth retarded (IUGR) neonates showed different morphology compared to neonates born with normal body weight (NBW). The aim of the present study was to investigate the ultrastructure and proteomic profile of the gut epithelium in IUGR pig neonates with special attention to the digestive and absorptive function. Intestine tissue samples were investigated in 7-day-o...

Lactation is the most energetically demanding period in the life cycle of female mammals, and its effects on digestive flexibility and the size of internal organs have been extensively studied in laboratory mice and rats since the early 1900s. However, there have been only two studies on this topic for wild rodent species. Here, we analyzed digestive flexibility--that is, changes in gut content...

—A free-ranging Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) population was investigated during winter (DecemberJanuary 1996-1999) below the Garrison Dam, North Dakota, USA, to relate diet to gut morphology variation in males. Four explanatory variables (fish consumption, male age, winter, and body size) were evaluated as to whether they influenced five response variables associated with gut characteristics of...

This study was conducted to investigate impacts of dietary protein levels on gut bacterial community and gut barrier. The intestinal microbiota of finishing pigs, fed with 16%, 13% and 10% crude protein (CP) in diets, respectively, were investigated using Illumina MiSeq sequencing. The ileal bacterial richness tended to decrease when the dietary protein concentration reduced from 16% to 10%. Th...

We study models in which supersymmetry breaking appears at an intermediate scale, Min, below the GUT scale. We assume that the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters of the MSSM are universal at Min, and analyze the morphology of the constraints from cosmology and collider experiments on the allowed regions of parameter space as Min is reduced from the GUT scale. We present separate analyses of...

The informational aspects of nucleic acid synthesis have attracted much more attention than the quantitative significance of DNA, rRNA, tRNA, and nucleotide synthesis. Animal and human studies suggest that in energetic terms, 5-10% of the energy used in synthesising tissue protein is expended in manufacturing an appropriate amount of synthetic machinery, that is the ribosome and tRNA. The two s...

Fenestrations are pores within the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) that line the sinusoids of the highly vascularized liver. Fenestrations facilitate the transfer of substrates between blood and hepatocytes. With pseudocapillarization of the hepatic sinusoid in old age, there is a loss of fenestrations. LSECs are uniquely exposed to gut-derived dietary and microbial substrates delive...

Objective(s): Recent evidence has shown underlying roles of gut dysbiosis and metabolic endotoxemia in obesity and its complications. Despite the large number of experimental and clinical researches performed on gut microbiota and obesity, no bibliometrics’ study has been conducted so far. We aimed to assess the trend of global scientific publications in the field of gut microbiota and obesity....
