Alarcon et al. (1) recently demonstrated that b-cell insulin secretory dysfunction is rapidly restored by exposure of islets to low-normal glucose ex vivo in db/db mice. The authors allude to the potential clinical relevance for “transient b-cell rest” in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Could transient b-cell rest be accomplished by manipulating diet? Lim et al. (2) have shown that a very low-calorie di...

Aggravation of atopic dermatitis (AD) is closely associated with excessive production cytokines by macrophages. To investigate the mechanisms how macrophages in human skin sense extracellular environment will help to understand diseases, however details remain unclear. In this study, we searched expression pattern 27 transient receptor potential (TRP) channels immune cells using protein atlas d...

An in vivo experiment was conducted to study the effects of probiotic Bacillus coagulans spores, with and without prebiotic, inulin, on gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota of healthy rats and its potentiality to survive in the GI tract. Forty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=12) and fed as follows: standard diet (control), standard diet supplied with 5% w/w long cha...

1. Expt 1. Five 150 kg steers with ruminal, abomasal and ileal cannulas were given 3000 g oaten chaff daily plus pelleted supplement with no added nitrogen (diet A) of 50 g N/d as urea (diet B), casein (diet C), casein and formaldehyde-treated casein (HCHO-casein) (50:50 w/w; diet D) and HCHO-casein (diet E), in a 5 x 5 Latin square design. The basal diet and supplement were fed in eight equal ...

We investigated the single and combined effects of 2 feeding levels (normal lactation diet vs. energy-reduced diet, both fed for ad libitum intake) daily milking frequencies (twice once) during 1 wk before dry-off day (d 0), as well an intramuscular injection either a dopamine agonist (cabergoline; Velactis, Ceva Santé Animale; labeled use only with abrupt dry-off, e.g., no reduction in level o...

In a previous communication it was reported that under certain dietary conditions, depending on the source of the vitamin B complex, homocystine was incapable of replacing methionine for the support of growth of animals on a cystine-methionine-free diet (l), a finding which was corroborated by Rose and Rice (2). On the other hand we were able to confirm their observation that with tikitiki and ...

Minerals and vitamins play an important role in animal nutrition with beneficial effects on animal reproductive performance. To investigate this issue, 44 Ghezel ewes weighing 55±  2 kg (Mean±SD) and 2-3 years old were randomly divided into groups (n=11), to investigate the effect of the selenium and vitamin E supplementation on blood hormones and metabolites and possible reproductive performan...
