Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh-Yield Production of Bioactive Flatfish (Paralichthys olivaceus) Myostatin-1 Prodomain in Escherichia coliIl Shik Shin, Hyung-Joo Jin, Jeong Hwan Kim et al.Myostatin Propeptide (MstnPro), the N-terminal part of Mstn precursor molecule, binds to Mstn and suppress its activity. Mstn is a potent negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth in many animal species, thus MstnPro has a great potential to be used as an agent to enhance skeletal muscle growth in animal species. Bioactive fish Myostatin-1 Propeptide (Mstn1Pro) proteins were recently expressed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeat Spoilage Mechanisms and Preservation Techniques: A Critical ReviewD. Dave, Abdel E. GhalyProblem statement: Extremely perishable meat provides favorable growth condition for various microorganisms. Meat is also very much susceptible to spoilage due to chemical and enzymatic activities. The breakdown of fat, protein and carbohydrates of meat results in the development of off-odors, off-flavor and slim formation which make the meat objectionable for human consumption. It is, therefore, necessary to control meat … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2011 · 54,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Polymorphism at the Insulin Like Growth Factor-I Gene in Mazandaran Native Chicken using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism MethodHossein Ali Abbasi, Mohsen KazemiProblem statement: Molecular genetics selection on individual genes is a promising method to genetically improve economically important traits in chickens. The Insulin like Growth Factor-I (IGF1) gene may play important roles in growth of multiple tissues, including muscle cells, cartilage and bone. Approach: In the present study polymorphism of the promoter and 5' untranslated region of IGF-1 gene of Mazandaran … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 8 Aug 2011 · 7,634 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Supplemental Lysine and Methionine on Growth Performance and Body Composition for Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)Hui Jun Yang, Yong Jian Liu, Li Xia Tian et al.Problem statement: The utilization of crystalline amino acids was detected for growth performance and body composition of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Approach: L-Lysine sulphate and Methionine Hydroxy Analog-Ca (MHA-Ca) were selected for determination. Two diets were formulated with or without amino acids supplementation. Each diet was assigned to 10 tanks in a completely randomized design for 8 weeks. Results: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Dietary Herbal Antioxidants Supplemented on Feedlot Growth Performance and Carcass Composition of Male GoatsMorteza Karami, Abd Razak Alimon, Yong Meng Goh et al.Problem statement: In goats production, chevon, meat quality and shelf life are very important, dietary herbs and synthetic antioxidants as dietary supplementation, may be can improve growth performance and carcass characteristics of goats. Approach: Thirty-two male (mean live weight 13.0 kg and 8 months old) were assigned to four dietary treatments, namely, basal diet (control, CN) and basal diet supplemented … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAccumulation of Heavy Metals in Tilapia Fish (Oreochromis niloticus) from Al-Khadoud Spring, Al-Hassa, Saudi ArabiaMohammed A. Al-KahtaniProblem statement: Al-Khadoud Spring is one of the largest spring in Al-Hassa governorate (Saudi Arabia). Due to the extended domestic activities and urbanization as well as the continuous industrial and agricultural growth of the region, spring water quality is potentially changing. Approach: This study was conducted to measure toxic heavy metal concentrations in water and fish samples along the spring … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 11,808 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMaize Oil Can Replace Fish Oil in The Diet of Grouper Postlarvae (Epinephelus Coioides) Without Adversely Affecting Growth or Fatty Acid CompositionJin Niu, Yong-Jian Liu, Li-Xia Tian et al.This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary lipid sources on growth, survival and body composition of 40 day post hatch larval grouper, Epinephelus coioides. Fish were fed fish meal and protein hydrolysate based diets for 32 days with either 100% maize oil or 100% fish oil in triplicate from 40-day after hatching to slaughter size (fish weight: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Flow in Agriculture: BangladeshM. S. Alam, M. R. Alam, K. K. IslamIn this paper, a qualitative energy flow analysis in Bangladesh agriculture has been made for a period from 1980-81 to 2000-01 to evaluate the impact of energy input to produce output. Human and animal muscle power and machinery energy for tillage operation, electricity and diesel energy for irrigation, fertilizer and pesticides energy for growth and protection are taken into account. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 11,592 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractChoice Meaning and Context: Two Sides of the Same Coin?Saadettin Sel, Joachim Storsberg, Mark A. Brown, Christian SchmidtThe human intellect is a powerful instrument to be applied to problems. Expressed differently, sharpening one’s acumen by regular exposure to conundra can be likened to exercising a muscle or refining a tool such as creating brushes to suit certain tasks. Such applications hinge on a reasonable understanding of a given problem and the presentation of opposing viewpoints of the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 24 May 2017 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
