OBJECTIVE We have established a hereditary postprandial hypertriglyceridemic (PHT) rabbit. The present study was designed to define whether this rabbit model represents both insulin resistance and central obesity. METHODS AND RESULTS Body weight, abdominal circumference, visceral fat weight, and glucose tolerance were compared between PHT and Japanese white (JW) rabbit. Plasma levels of trigl...

The objective this study was measure production from several types livestock manure. experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD), with 6 kinds (cow, buffalo, goat, rabbit, chicken, and duck). Each treatment repeated three times during 8 weeks. research method closed chamber method, intervals 5 minutes. ...

To investigate the embryonic genome organization upon fertilization and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), we tracked HP1β and CENP, two well-characterized protein markers of pericentric and centromeric compartments respectively, in four types of embryos produced by rabbit in vivo fertilization, rabbit parthenogenesis, rabbit-to-rabbit, and bovine-to-rabbit SCNT. In the interphase nuclei of ...

This study was performed to investigate whether the plasma concentration of phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide (PCOOH), which is a marker of oxidized stress in the blood, increased in cholesterol-fed rabbits, and fructose ingestion promoted this process and aggravated atherosclerosis. Male Japanese white rabbits (age: 12 weeks, and body weight: around 2.0 kg, n = 15) were divided into three grou...

Cervical cancer arises from lesions caused by infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV). Therefore, vaccination against HPV could prevent carcinogenesis by preventing HPV infection or inducing lesion regression. HPV E2 protein is an attractive candidate for vaccine development because it is required for papilloma formation, is involved in all stages of the virus life cycle, a...

IT is always regarded as axiomatic that there is no possibility of a corneal graft being successful unless the donor material comes from an animal of the same species (Nizetic, 1934; Duke-Elder, 1938; Lister, 1951; Avello, 1951; etc.), but this dogma is open to question. Ortin (1914, 1916, 1931) performed penetrating grafts on rabbits, using donor material from other species; in every case a pe...

A significantly higher survival rate was obtained when frozen-thawed morulae were transferred to oviducts of recipients ovulating after donors rather than to those of synchronized or earlier ovulating recipients. The highest proportion of live young, 23%, was obtained after transfer of eggs to recipients ovulating 18 h after donors. The proportion of live young (48%) was significantly increased...
