Lactobacillus rhamnosus KY-3 is a fermentative bacterium that is used for the industrial production of L-lactic acid. We have examined the effect of L. rhamnosus KY-3 and cellobiose as synbiotics on lipid metabolism in rats. Rats were fed on a 20% casein diet (C) supplemented with either 1.7% L. rhamnosus KY-3 (KY-3), 10% cellobiose (CEB), or 1.7% L. rhamnosus KY-3 and 10% cellobiose (KY-3+CEB)...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium and causes respiratory infection especially in elderly patients. Royal jelly has been used worldwide as a traditional remedy and as a nutrient; however, the effect against P. aeruginosa is unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze antibacterial, antiadherent, and anti-inflammatory effects of royal jelly against P. aeruginosa. Wild-type str...

China is the largest royal jelly producer and exporter in the world, and high royal jelly-yielding strains have been bred in the country for approximately three decades. However, information on the molecular mechanism underlying high royal jelly production is scarce. Here, a cDNA microarray was used to screen and identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to obtain an overview on the change...

The egg of Rana clamitans enrobed in its native jelly was not fertilized by sperm of R. pipiens. However, when R. clamitans eggs were enrobed by R. pipiens jelly, they were fertilized by R. pipiens sperm. Male pronuclei were found in the eggs, and most of the resulting embryos were diploid. The embryos gastrulated, but most arrested at midto late gastrula stages. Some begun neurulation, but non...

and Applied Analysis 3 In 2008, Gordji et al. 17 provided the solution as well as the stability of a mixed type cubic-quartic functional equation. We only mention here the papers 19, 32, 33 concerning the stability of the mixed type functional equations. In this paper, we deal with the following general cubic-quartic functional equation: f ( x ky ) f ( x − ky) k2(f(x y) f(x − y)) 2 ( 1 − k2 ) f...

In the eusocial honey bee Apis mellifera, with reproductive queens and sterile workers, a female larva's developmental fate depends on its diet; nurse bees feed queen-destined larvae exclusively royal jelly, a glandular secretion, but worker-destined larvae receive royal jelly for 3 days and subsequently jelly to which honey and beebread are added. RNA-Seq analysis demonstrated that p-coumaric ...
