performance, digestibility of nutrients, microbial nitrogen flow (mnf) and nitrogen efficiency (ne) inearly lactating holstein cows were investigated by diet supplementation with sodium caseinate (cn).multiparous lactating holstein cows (n = 15) with an average body weight of 638 kg and 21 days in milkwere assigned to a completely randomized design (five cows per treatment) and fed a basal diet...

Table A1: At high resolution (∼ 0.3 ˚ A), T98 indices of BSPs obtained with the fitting functions (FFs) method.

The autosomal recessive gene for achondroplasia (cn) in the homozygous condition inhibits the growth of the cartilaginous skeleton in mice. Changes in the width of the proximal growth plate of the tibia and the caudal vertebrae and in the number of proliferative and hypertrophic cells were recorded in normal and achondroplastic (cn/cn) mice during the first 30 neonatal days. In normal mice as i...

Discrimination of regenerative cirrhotic nodules of the liver (CN) from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sometimes difficult. We examined the utility of AgNOR staining in this context. Fifteen cases of HCC and 25 cases of CN were stained by AgNOR method and the mean AgNOR number for one hundred nuclei in each case was determined. There was a significant difference between the mean AgNOR c...

The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for milk protein fraction contents, milk protein composition, and milk coagulation properties (MCP). Contents of α(S1)-, α(S2)-, β-, γ-, and κ-casein (CN), β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), and α-lactalbumin (α-LA) were measured by reversed-phase HPLC in individual milk samples of 2,167 Simmental cows. Milk protein composition was measured as...

BACKGROUND The cn/cn dwarf mouse is caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (NPR-2) gene which helps positively regulate endochondral longitudinal bone growth. The gene mutation corresponds to that in the human skeletal dysplasia Acromesomelic Dysplasia Maroteaux type (AMDM). This study assesses histomorphometric, ultrastructural and radiographic correlates o...

Alpha s1-, alpha s2-, beta- and kappa-caseins from Somali camels (Camelus dromedarius) were purified by acid precipitation at pH 4.4, crudely separated into an alpha-CN and a beta-CN fraction and further purified by reversed-phase HPLC. Fragments of tryptic digests were sequenced. Amino acid patterns obtained were used to screen a cDNA library constructed from mRNA from lactating udder tissue. ...
