Efficacy mechanisms research progress of the active components in the characteristic woody edible oils
(Food Frontiers, 2023-10-10)Woody edible oils are a type of vegetable oil. Woody edible oils like olive oil have greater quantities of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), particularly essential FAs, as well as vitamin E, phytosterols, ... -
Flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) juveniles exhibit consistent proactive and reactive stress coping styles
(Aquaculture, 2023-08-22)Stress coping styles (SCS) are defined as a coherent set of individual physiological and behavioural differences in stress responses that are consistent across context and over time. Nowadays, an increased ... -
Design strategies for positively charged endolysins: Insights into Artilysin development
(Biotechnology Advances, 2023-09-06)Endolysins are bacteriophage-encoded enzymes that can specifically degrade the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell wall, making them an attractive tool for the development of novel antibacterial agents. ... -
Changes in cortisol and cortisone in hair of pigs reared under heat stress conditions
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023-07-18)Heat stress accounts for millions of dollars in losses for swine producers worldwide. The aim of the present study was to determine and evaluate cortisol and cortisone in hair as indicators of thermal ... -
Mutations on a conserved distal enhancer in the porcine C-reactive protein gene impair its expression in liver
(Frontiers in Immunology, 2023-09-14)C-reactive protein (CRP) is an evolutionary highly conserved protein. Like humans, CRP acts as a major acute phase protein in pigs. While CRP regulatory mechanisms have been extensively studied in humans, ... -
Slaughtering of Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) with and without Stunning: A Focus on the Neurobiology of Pain, Hyperalgesia, and Sensitization
(Animals, 2023-07-25)The slaughter process in livestock is considered a stressor where the transport and handling of animals, as well as the selected stunning and bleeding methods, can cause acute pain, distress, and ... -
Agonic Aspiration of Blood: Not Useful as an Animal-Based Indicator of Electrical Stunning Ineffectiveness in Pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus)
(Animals, 2023-07-13)Agonic aspiration of blood (AAB) may result from an inadequate exsanguination with accidental trachea severing, that can be favoured by ineffective stunning of pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus). This study ... -
Oleacein and Oleocanthal: Key Metabolites in the Stability of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
(Antioxidants, 2023-09-18)The oxidative stability of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) depends on its composition, primarily, phenolic compounds and tocopherols, which are strong antioxidants, but also carotenoids, squalene, and ... -
Copy Number Variation on ABCC2-DNMBP Loci Affects the Diversity and Composition of the Fecal Microbiota in Pigs
(Microbiology Spectrum, 2023-05-31)Genetic variation in the pig genome partially modulates the composition of porcine gut microbial communities. Previous studies have been focused on the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms ... -
The role of rootstocks for grape growing adaptation to climate change. Meta-analysis of the research conducted in Spanish viticulture
(OENO One, 2023-05-30)Rootstock election is one of the key decisions when designing a vineyard. Although the research performed to determine the effect they induce in the behaviour of scion varieties is not scarce, it is not ... -
