Effects of Hot Red Pepper (Capsicum annum) on Growth Performance and Visceral Organs of Ross 308 Broiler Chickens
… inclusion on the growth performance and size of visceral organs and tissues of broilers to contribute to the mitigation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Three hundred female Ross 308 day-old chicks were used, housed in a deep litter, naturally ventilated, open-sided. Two pepper provision …

Polonium-210 radioactivity in Lake Mead fish
… fish compared to salt-water, although the visceral organs were not analyzed. This hypothesis was tested for its generality by analyzing various fish from Lake Mead. Studies of polonium are useful because the man-made radioactive plutonium is also a heavy metal with very similar energy of …

Quantification of visceral fat using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry
Accumulation of visceral adipose tissue is an independent marker for cardiovascular risk and insulin resistance in both children and adults (Gower et al, 1999; Neeland et al. 2012; Owens et al. 1998). As the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue increases the risk of cardiovascular also increases …

Mapping Domains for ZIC3 Molecular Function
… of the left-right (L-R) axis and arrangement of visceral organs. Mutations in Zic3 in humans and animal models cause congenital L-R axis defects. The work presented in this thesis maps structural domains required for ZIC3 molecular function. Characterisation of a novel allele of murine Zic3 …

The impact of interoceptive abilities on emotional intensity and susceptibility to distraction
… defined as the ability to sense change in visceral organs and internal states within the body, is thought to influence a wide range of psychological processes and behaviours. Evidence garnered from previous research suggests that individual differences in interoceptive ability influences …

CD4+ T cells in the pathogenesis of visceral leishmaniasis
Visceral leishmaniasis, caused by infection with the intracellular protozoan Leishmania donovani, is a chronic disease that affects the spleen, liver and bone marrow. Patients present with high parasite burdens in visceral organs, splenomegaly, cachexia, pancytopenia and will progress to death if …

Novel Interactions of the Hormone Leptin Revealed by PET Imaging in Rodents and Rhesus Macaques
… up by the cortex of the kidney, bone marrow, and visceral organs. Uptake in the kidney was partially saturable with cold ligand, and was not mediated by leptin receptor (ObR). Subsequent analysis in with a kidney specific knockout of the multiligand endocytic transporter megalin revealed loss of …

Role Of Actg2 Mutations In Visceral Myopathy
ABSTRACTROLE OF ACTG2 MUTATIONS IN VISCERAL MYOPATHY Sohaib K. Hashmi Robert O. Heuckeroth Visceral myopathy is a debilitating condition characterized by dysfunction and weakness of smooth muscle in visceral organs including bowel, bladder, and uterus. When the bowel is primarily affected, the …

Regulation of Visceral Nociception by GPR35
… mechanical modalities, such as the distention of visceral organs or by mediators released in response to gut inflammation. Pain management in these conditions is challenging due to the side effects associated with commonly used analgesics, and so a significant unmet clinical need exists for the …

The Effects of Toluene on the Ontogenetic Development of the Fish, Oryzias latipes, the Japanese Medaka
… of the tail, and (5) a failure of some of the visceral organs to develop properly. Tissue of a mesodermal origin in whole or in part appeared to be most sensitive to the teratogenic action of toluene. The differential susceptibility of the embryos and fry was discussed in relation to the extent …

Investigating the role of zoledronate for inhibition of osteosarcoma metastasis
… of distant metastases to lungs and other visceral organs. Given the high metastatic rate and associated mortality, there is a compelling rationale to explore novel therapeutic approaches that may slow the progression or inhibit the development of distant metastases. Successful metastasis …

The Evaluation of Genetic and Phenotypic Differences Associated with Short Term Selection of Four Different Feed Efficiency Strategies in Japanese Quail
… evaluating the development of supply and demand organs in each line to determine how each FE strategy influenced the way nutrients were partitioned between the different types of organs. Feed efficiency strategies superior at promoting growth efficiency, are likely to have higher weights for …

Quantitative genetics and metabolomics of aerobic metabolism
… MMR. Third, I measured metabolite expressions in organs primarily responsible for MMR and BMR. Such an approach allowed me to better understand the mechanistic connection (e.g., shared organs) between MMR and BMR and the evolution of aerobic energy metabolism.In my first chapter, I determined the …
