Abstract:: ... Severe declines of the mountain yellow-legged frog (MYLF, Rana muscosa) led to establishment of a captive population at the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research. With less than 200 adults estimated to remain in the wild, the Institute’s MYLF colony currently holds approximately 30% of the entire gene pool. Simulating natural seasonality by artificial brumation and manipulation of atmo ...

Abstract:: ... We have shown that inclusion of initial gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in a 5-day Co-synch protocol is unnecessary to achieve acceptable pregnancy rates in dairy heifers (2011 Theriogenology 76, 578). This study determined the efficacy of a modified (without initial GnRH) 5-day Co-synch protocol for timed AI (TAI) and the effect of interval from progesterone device removal to TAI on pregnan ...

Abstract:: ... BACKGROUND: Ticks are obligate hematophagous arthropods that feed on vertebrate blood that contains iron. Ticks also concentrate host blood with iron; this concentration of the blood leads to high levels of iron in ticks. The host-derived iron reacts with oxygen in the tick body and this may generate high levels of reactive oxygen species, including hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). High levels of H₂O₂ ca ...

Abstract:: ... BACKGROUND: Melandrii Herba, a medicinal plant, has been used in Korea for treatment of bacterial and fungal infection. However, the safety and toxicity of Melandrii Herba have not yet been established. Therefore, we investigated the acute and subacute toxicity of an ethanolic extract of Melandrii Herba (MHEE) in Crl:CD Sprague Dawley rats and cytotoxicity of MHEE in vitro. METHODS: To study acute ...

Abstract:: ... This study investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of the ethanolic extract (THEE) obtained from the heart of skipjack tuna using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells. THEE markedly suppressed the production of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-1β in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, THEE decreased the expression of inducible NO sy ...

Abstract:: ... Oligosaccharide (OS) is used as a sugar replacement as well as an ingredient in functional foods because of its beneficial effects, mainly on reducing calorie content and promoting intestinal health. By contrast, the effects of OS on inflammation are less well investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of sucrose-derived OS on glucose control and inflammation in high fa ...

Abstract:: ... Polygonatum kingianum has been used in the prevention and treatment of diabetes, hyperlipidemia and related metabolic syndrome in Asian counties for centuries. In this study, the blood glucose regulation activity and mechanism of total saponins from P. kingianum (TSPK) were investigated in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats in this research.TSPK (0.025g/kg and 0.1mg/kg) was administrated b ...
