Autonomic dysfunction is involved in the onset of salt-sensitive hypertension as baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) blunted hypertension. However, salt exhibits sex disparity because hypertension, blood pressure (BP) usually higher males when compared with females. The mechanism(s) underlying this sexual dimorphism not clear. We, therefore, designed study to determine BRS weanling male Sprague – Dawl...

ilk products have been established as excellent sources of carbohydrates and protein in diets for weanling pigs. Dried whey is now considered an essential ingredient in diets for weanling pigs. However, dried whey is the most variable in quality of all the milk products.1 In this paper, we review the process used to produce dried whey to provide insight into the causes of this variability, and ...

It is important to realize during an upper respiratory tract evaluation of the weanling and yearling that there are subtle differences from such an evaluation of the adult horse. It can be difficult to predict future pharyngeal and laryngeal function based on one endoscopic exam of the upper respiratory tract of the weanling and yearling. Author’s address: Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital, 2150 ...

METHODS. Lens epithelial explants and whole lenses from weanling rats were cultured with TGF-/3,, TGF-j32, or TGF-j33 at concentrations ranging from 0.025 ng/ml to 4 ng/ml for 3 to 5 days. Cataractous changes were monitored daily by phase contrast microscopy and by immunofluorescent detection of cataract markers a-smooth muscle actin and type I collagen. Expression of TGF-/3 was studied by immu...

Seven experiments were conducted with 280 crossbred pigs to investigate the effect of excess choline on rate and efficiency of gain of weanling, growing and finishing swine Choline additions were made to a conventional corn-soybean meal diet. Daily gain of weanling pigs was reduced slightly by 6,000 ppm excess choline compared with 0, 500, 1,000, 2,000 or 4,000 ppm excess choline. Excess supple...
