The Rubia Gallega cattle breed is the most important stock for beef production in Spain. A study about the influence of feeding systems on beef quality is needed. Comparison of the effect of a pasture finishing system and an indoors finishing system (maize silage and concentrate) on the meat quality and intramuscular fatty acid profile of Rubia Gallega steers (slaughter age 30 months) was deter...

25 Pre-slaughter stress has adverse effects on meat quality that can lead to the 26 occurrence of Dark Firm Dry (DFD) meat in cattle. This study explores the previously 27 uncharacterized proteome changes linked to pre-slaughter stress in the longissimus 28 thoracis (LT) bovine muscle. Differential proteome profiles of DFD and normal (non29 DFD) LT meat samples from male calves of Rubia Gallega...

Tretinoin is the most effective available topical comedolytic agent, but topical application may lead to erythema, peeling and burning of the skin. During the past few decades many reports have documented an emergence of antibiotic resistance by Propionibacterium acnes during treatment of acne. Furthermore, systemic antimicrobials used in the treatment of acne have been causally associated with...

Ethanolic extracts of the leaves of Rubia cordifolia L. (Rubiaceae) (ERC) were investigated for their phytocompounds, in vitro and in vivo immunopharmacological properties. Immunomodulatory effects of this plant extract were proved in Cyclophosphamide (CP) -induced immunosuppressed animal models. Albino rats were treated with the aqueous extract of ERC and Cyclophosphamide. The Total count (TC)...

This volume of the IARC Monographs considers some traditional herbal medicines, including extracts from certain plants of the genera Aristolochia, Rubia, Morinda and Senecio; some mycotoxins, specifically aflatoxins and fumonisin B1; and two industrial chemicals, naphthalene and styrene. Of these, the Monographs have previously evaluated several of the pyrrolizidine alkaloids that occur in cert...
