A total of 190 rabbit females were used to evaluate five feeding programmes from 9 weeks of age to the first parturition: CAL, fed ad libitum with a control diet (C: 11.0 MJ digestible energy (DE) and 114 g digestible protein (DP)/kg dry matter (DM)) until first parturition; CR, fed ad libitum with C diet until 12 weeks of age and then C diet restricted (140 g/day) until first parturition; F, f...

Abstract Background Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) catalyzes the final step in triglyceride (TG) synthesis and is highly expressed enterocytes (EC). DGAT1 deficiency (DGAT1D) a rare autosomal recessive protein losing enteropathy (PLE) classified as congenital diarrheal disorder (CDD). Presumably, fat ingestion causes accumulation of substrates within EC causing lipotoxicity-i...

Using a dynamically scaled robotic wing, we studied the aerodynamic torque generation of flapping wings during roll, pitch, and yaw rotations of the stroke plane. The total torque generated by a wing pair with symmetrical motions was previously known as flapping counter-torques (FCTs). For all three types of rotation, stroke-averaged FCTs act opposite to the directions of rotation and are colli...

The large-scale release of wild-type or genetically modified bacteria into the environment for control of plant diseases or for bioremediation entails the potential risk of groundwater contamination by these microorganisms. For a model study on patterns of vertical transport of bacteria under field conditions, the biocontrol strain Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0, marked with a spontaneous resista...

The synthetic food dyes studied were rose bengal (RB), phroxine (PL), amaranth, erythrosine B (ET), allura red, new coccine, acid red (AR), tartrazine, sunset yellow FCF, brilliant blue FCF, and indigo carmine. First, data confirmed that these dyes were not substrates for CYP2A6, UGT1A6, and UGT2B7. ET inhibited UGT1A6 (glucuronidation of p-nitrophenol) and UGT2B7 (glucuronidation of androstero...
