Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Heat Stress on the Expression of HSP70, UCP3 and CYP450 Genes in Liver; Longissimus Dorsi and Semitendinosus Muscle of Growing PigsV. Montesinos-Cruz, M. Cota, L. Buenabad et al.High Ambient Temperature (AT) provokes Heat Stress (HS) in animals, which is characterized by increased body temperature, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production and cell damage. Uncoupling Proteins (UCP) may contribute to dissipate body heat, cytochrome P450 (CYP3A4) reduces ROS and Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) prevent protein denaturalization. This study analyzed the expression of HSP70, UCP3 and CYP3A in liver, Longissimus … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 24 Oct 2019 · 7,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe COXII Haplotypes and their Association with Productive Traits in Large White Breed PigsMaria A. Kolosova, Lyubov V. Getmantseva, Nekruz F. Bakoev et al.The mitochondrial genome encodes key electron transfer chain (ETC) proteins which produce the vast majority of cellular ATP. Sequence analysis of maternal inherited mitochondrial DNA is an effective way to assess the individual characteristics of commercial breeding lines of pigs. The aims of our study were to analyze the nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial gene COXII in Large White pigs, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 2 Jul 2019 · 7,655 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Fibrous Diets for Finishing Pigs: Digestibility, Performance and Carcass TraitsBernardo Berenchtein, Adibe Luiz Abdalla, Patrícia Pimentel Santos Riguetto et al.Two experiments were conducted to evaluate digestibility, performance and carcass traits of finishing pigs fed fibrous diets, such as, basal diet (Control treatment) and inclusion of Tifton-85 hay, Soybean hulls or Citrus pulp. Twenty crossbred castrated male pigs, with average body weight of 70.00±1.95 kg, distributed in a randomized block design with four treatments and five repetitions (blocks) were used … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2019 · 7,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies on Lipids and Hepatorenal Circulating Indices in Guinea PigsAbaram Chesa Mankwe, Jonah Sydney Aprioku, Atuboyedia Wolfe ObianimeArtemisinin-based Combination Therapies (ACTs) are employed as first-line agents in malaria chemotherapy. In many malaria endemic areas, ACTs are frequently abused partly due to resistance, poor drug control and inadequate health facilities. This study investigated the effects of prolong administration of Artesunate-Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (ATS-SP), Artesunate-Amodiaquine (ATS-Amod) and Artemether-Lumefantrine (ATM-Lum) on plasma levels of biochemical parameters (AST, ALT, ALP, urea and creatinine) … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2017 · 7,282 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Single and Combined Effect of MC4R and GH Genes on Productive Traits of PigsLyubov Getmantseva, Maria Leonova, Aleksander Usatov et al.The aim of our work is to identify the single and combined effect of MC4R and GH polymorphism genes on growth and reproduction traits of pigs. The study was carried out on 204 crossbred F1 females (♀Landrace х ♂Large White) of the Breeding Farm in Russia. The analyzed productive traits were: The number of Days to 100-kg (Days to 100 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2017 · 8,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLeukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) Gene Polymorphism and its Impact on Reproductive Traits of PigsM. A. Leonova, L. V. Getmantseva, V. N. Vasilenko et al.The purpose of this study was to determine the frequencies of alleles and genotypes of the Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) gene (ID: 399503) in Landrace, Large White and Duroc pigs in Russia and to evaluate the impact on productive traits of pigs. Polymorphism was genotyped using PCR-RFLP method. In the course of studies we observed a different distribution of allele … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 18 Oct 2015 · 7,404 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStandardized Ileal Digestible Lysine Requirement of 6- to 10-kg Weanling PigsChan Sol Park, Beob Gyun KimThe objective of the experiment was to determine the Standardized Ileal Digestible (SID) lysine requirement for weanling pigs from 6 to 10 kg of Body Weight (BW). A total of 216 weanling pigs with an initial BW of 6.23±0.93 kg were assigned to six diets in a randomized complete block design with five blocks based on BW.
