Stimulation of Ca2+ absorption can counteract hypocalcemia at the onset lactation. The plant bioactive lipid compound (PBLC) menthol is an agonist for nonselective cation channels transient receptor potential (TRP) family. It acutely stimulated in ruminal epithelia nonadapted animals ex vivo and caused higher plasma concentrations cows sheep vivo. To elucidate pathway by which feeding increases...

Itch (pruritus) is one of the most often seen sensory phenomena in clinical practice. Recent neurophysiological findings proposed the existence of a novel pruriceptive system which includes a multitude of pruritogenic (itch-inducing) peripheral mediators, itch-selective pruriceptors, sensory afferent networks, spinal cord neurons, and certain central nervous system regions. In this review, we f...
