Sodium Butyrate and Valproic Acid as Splicing Restoring Agents in Erythroid Cells of b-Thalassemic Patients

Background: b-Thalassemia is a common autosomal recessive disorder in human caused by a defect in b-globin chain synthesis. The most common mutations causing b-Thalassemia have been found to be splicing mutations. Most of which activate aberrant cryptic splicing/sites without complete disruption of normal splicing. IVSI-110 mutation, a common splicing mutation, leads to a 90% reduction of norma...

Effects of Fusaric Acid in Broiler Chicks and Turkey Poults

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of fusaric acid (FA) in broiler chicks (Exp. 1) and turkey poults (Exp. 2). In each experiment, 100 day-old birds were allotted randomly to dietary treatments containing 0, 100, 200, 300, or 400 mg FA/kg of feed. Each dietary treatment was fed to 4 pen replicates of 5 birds each for 21 days. Fusaric acid had no effect (P > 0.05) on feed int...

Efficacy of Dietary Guanidinoacetic Acid in Broiler Chicks by Amanda

Guanidinoacetic acid is formed from Arg and is the immediate precursor to creatine (Cre). A study was conducted to determine the ability for GAA to spare Arg in broiler chicks fed an Arg-deficient practical diet. A common basal diet (0.84% digestible Arg) was supplemented with combinations of Arg (0 or 0.16%) and GAA (0, 0.06, or 0.12%) to form a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of dietary treatment...

Conjugated linoleic acid enhanced the immune function in broiler chicks.

This study was undertaken to investigate the growth performance and immune responses of broiler chicks fed diets supplemented with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Two hundred and forty day-old Arbor Acre male broiler chicks were randomly allotted into four dietary treatments with different inclusion levels of CLA (0, 2.5, 5.0 or 10.0 g pure CLA/kg) for 6 weeks. Growth performance, lysozyme acti...
