Phytochemical metabolites and their effects on in vitro and in vivo measures of oxidative stress
… not examined the effects of the phytochemical‟s blood metabolites. In this thesis the effects of phytochemical blood metabolites on factors that regulate oxidative stress within the body are examined. It is shown that 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHBA) pretreatment can induce an adaptive …

Why Mosquitoes Bite Some People More Than Others: Metabolic Correlates of Human Attraction in AEDES AEGYPTI
… preference may be correlated with differences blood metabolites between subjects. We developed the uniport olfactometer as a method for discriminating subject attraction. Within our study population we distinguished three clusters of subjects who were differentially attractive to mosquitoes. We …

Plasma amino acid and metabolite changes in pigs during endotoxemia
… between plasma AA levels and numerous blood metabolites (e.g., total lipid, LDL, HDL, blood urea nitrogen, etc). These equations have the potential to improve the nutritional treatment and recovery of acute and chronically ill patients. Study 2 (19.1 ± 0.37 kg) was a continuation of …

The use of activity measures in combination with physiological factors as indicators of disease in dairy cattle
… therapy for mastitis. Additionally, activity and blood metabolites concentrations were collected and analyzed from periparturient dairy cows at the Virginia Tech Dairy Center to determine the likelihood of disease occurrence. Primiparous and multiparous Holstein, Jersey, and Crossbred dairy cows …

Genetic approaches to identifying causal pathways to cardiometabolic diseases
… with detailed metabolic phenotypes, including blood metabolites and objective measures of body size and composition. Methods: The first chapter summarises and critically evaluates existing genetic strategies for assessing causality in an observational setting and reviews the literature on …

Effects of ruminal nutrient degradability on volatile fatty acid dynamics, ruminal epithelial gene expression, and post-absorptive system
… absorptive genes, and post-absorptive muscle and blood responses. Six ruminally cannulated Holstein heifers (BW=330 ± 11.3 kg) were used in a partially replicated Latin Square experiment with four treatments consisting of beet pulp or timothy hay and barley or corn grain. Periods were18 d with 3 d …

Replacement of Starch from Corn with Non-Forage Fiber from Distillers Grains in Diets of Lactating Dairy Cows
… did not differ between diets. Concentration of blood metabolites, glucose and β-hydroxybutyrate from coccegeal artery and mammary vein were similar across the diets. Results from this research suggest that non-forage fiber from DG can partially substitute for starch from com in dairy cow diets …

Nutritional and Health Consequences of Feeding Diets of Varied Macronutrient Composition and Subjected to Select Processing Conditions in Domestic and Wild Felids
… diets on adipose tissue gene expression, blood metabolites, and physical activity levels in domestic kittens. Study 5 determined the effects of ovariohysterectomy on body composition, adipose and skeletal muscle gene expression, and physical activity in adult cats fed high-protein or …

Evaluation of Supplementing Brewer's Yeast to Lactating Dairy Cows
… cow by assessing milk yield and composition, blood metabolites, rumen fermentation, and feed intake and efficiency. We hypothesized that diets containing a concentrated brewer’s yeast supplement would increase milk and component yields, benefit rumen fermentation, and improve feed efficiency …

Nutrient Impacts on Rumen Growth and Development
… content would affect calf growth, intake, rumen metabolites, blood metabolites, and gross rumen measurements when fed along with milk replacer (MR). The experiment used completely pelleted calf starters consisting of ground and pelleted barley, wheat, and corn grains. Besides the high-starch …

Modulation of bio-behaviors and diabesity by dietary factors
… present study examined the modulation of weight, blood metabolites, bio-behaviors, and neuro-immune function by a high fat diet. C57BL/6J male mice were fed a 60% fat diet (high fat diet; HFD) or a 10% fat (low fat diet; LFD) for 1 or 3 weeks post-weaning, after which mice were subjected to …
