The aim of this study was to identify new biomarkers in liver for monitoring physiological imbalance and to examine the different coping strategies used during feed restriction (FR) between cows in physiological imbalance and cows metabolically “normal” during early lactation. Twenty-two cows (22–55 DIM) were fed a standard TMR for ad libitum intake. After 5-d, all cows were FR to provide ~40% ...

In this study, the relationships and correlations between milk production and some blood metabolites related to energy and protein balance and their effects were investigated on returning to estrus after AI in lactating Holstein dairy cows. Blood and milk samples were collected from sixty lactating Holstein dairy cows based on their reproductive status in 13-17 d post AI. BUN, MUN, glucose, tri...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of effort-reward imbalance (ERI) among qualified childcare workers in Germany is currently estimated at around 65%. High rates of burnout and musculoskeletal symptoms (MS) have also been reported for this group. Previous longitudinal studies show inconsistent results with regard to the association between ERI and MS. As yet, no longitudinal studies have been conducted ...

Hypokalemia is a common electrolyte disturbance, especially in hospitalized patients. It can have various causes, including endocrine ones. Sometimes, hypokalemia requires urgent medical attention. The aim of this review is to present updated information regarding: (1) the definition and prevalence of hypokalemia, (2) the physiology of potassium homeostasis, (3) the various causes leading to hy...

False broomrape on tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) can be induced by applying cytokinins to the roots, by causing an increase in the cytokinin-auxin ratio in the roots, by removing the apical and auxillary buds, or by applying extracts from tobacco with false broomrape to the roots of healthy plants. It can be prevented by treating debudded plants with auxin.

abstract- the effects of iron (fe) and zinc (zn) treatments on the growth and nutrient composition of chickpea were studied in a greenhouse experiment arranged in a completely randomized design. while the application of fe decreased mean shoot dry weight of chickpea, that of zn had no significant effect on chickpea shoot dry weight. increasing fe levels drastically decreased mn concentration an...

Challenges to body fluid homeostasis can have a profound impact on hypothalamic regulation of stress responsiveness. Deficiencies in blood volume or sodium concentration leads to the generation of neural and humoral signals relayed through the hindbrain and circumventricular organs that apprise the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) of hydromineral imbalance. Collectively, these ...
