This study was designed to investigate the effect of grape pomace powder (GPP), mangosteen peel powder (MPP) and monensin on feed intake, nutrients digestibility, microorganisms, rumen fermentation characteristic, microbial protein synthesis and nitrogen balance in dairy steers. Four, rumen fistulated dairy steers with initial body weight (BW) of 220±15 kg were randomly assigned according to a ...

Introduction and objective: Cryptosporidium parvum is a protozoan parasite that is a common cause of diarrhea in both animals and humans worldwide. There is no effective specific chemotherapeutic treatment. The aim of this study was to survey and compare the anticryptosporidial effect of two anticoccidial drugs, Monensin, Toltrazuril and synergic effect on oocysts of C. parvum in vitro. Materia...

Targeting theEGFR,with inhibitors such as erlotinib, represents a promising therapeutic option in advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). However, they lack significant efficacy as single agents. Recently,we identified the ability of statins to induce synergistic cytotoxicity inHNSCCcells through targeting the activation and trafficking of the EGFR. However, in a phase I trial ...

The efficacy of three polyether ionophores viz. salinomycin, monensin and maduramicin was evaluated in poultry. Dayold chicks (n=350) were randomly divided into seven groups of 50 chicks each. The drugs were administered as feed premix from day one onwards. The chicks at 14-day of age were initially infected with 20,000 sporulated viable oocysts of Eimeria tenella and challenged with 40,000 spo...

Milk fat yield affects the price received for milk by dairy farmers, and given the rising feed costs, maximizing diet digestibility is critical for the economical viability of dairy farms. Although feeding animal-vegetable fat or coconut oil to dairy cows can increase energy intake, they sometimes cause milk fat depression (MFD). Feeding monensin has been found to increase feed efficiency and m...

Treatment of rat brain synaptosomes with 10 microM monensin stimulated activity of the Na/K pump, which enhanced oxygen consumption and lactate production. Glycolytic flux was also increased independently of the pump activation by a fall in [H+]i. Under such conditions, glycolysis provided 26% of ATP for the ouabain-sensitive ATPase, a value substantially greater than the 4% obtained in veratri...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with nisin alone or in combination with salinomycin or monensin on broiler chickens in terms of growth performance, selected blood parameters, digestive enzyme activity, apparent nutrient digestibility, and tibiotarsus mineralization, as well as selected gastrointestinal tract (GIT) organ weights, intestinal length, ...

Abstract Effects of cyclic monensin feeding on in situ disappearance kinetics low-quality forage (LQF; 4.9% CP) were evaluated. Ruminally cannulated steers (n = 12; Bos taurus; 260 kg BW) consuming LQF randomly assigned to 3 treatments a completely randomized design: CON (0 mg∙animal-1∙day-1 monensin; Rumensin 90, Elanco Animal Health, Greenfield, IN), 2) MON (200 monensin), or 3) CYC for 4 d a...

Although a linkage between aerobic glycolysis and sodium-potassium transport has been demonstrated in diaphragm, vascular smooth muscle, and other cells, it is not known whether this linkage occurs in skeletal muscle generally. Metabolism of intact hind-leg muscles from young rats was studied in vitro under aerobic incubation conditions. When sodium influx into rat extensor digitorum longus (ED...
