Examination of the expression of genes and proteins controlling M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum growth in steers
… the effect of sire breed and genetic merit for growth potential of the transcriptional regulation of the somatotropic axis followed by a proteomic approach to assess differentially abundant proteins. Following this, a second study was set up to examine the compensatory growth phenomena in cattle …

The role of basic fibroblast growth factor in the compensatory adrenal growth response
We have investigated the role of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in the neurally mediated compensatory adrenal growth response. Unilateral adrenalectomy resulted in a 13%, 6% and 22% increase in adrenal weight, protein and DNA content, respectively, and 33-40% increases in the rate of cell …

Growth, carcass composition, and plasma growth hormone levels in cyclically fed rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss microform
The compensatory growth response (C.G.R.), a phase of rapid growth following a period of feeding restriction, is investigated in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Underyearling rainbow trout were individually identified using coded tags and placed on either a cyclic feeding regime of 3 weeks of …

Systems level investigation of the genetic basis of bovine muscle growth and development
Skeletal muscle growth is an economically and biologically important trait for livestock raised for meat production. As such, there is great interest in understanding the underlying genomic architecture influencing muscle growth and development. In spite of this, relatively little is known about …

Sympathetic Innervation of the Rat Adrenal Cortex and Its Effects on the Compensatory Adrenal Cortical Growth Response to Unilateral Adrenalectomy (Catecholamine, Endocrine, Splanchnic Nerve, Cell Proliferation)
… Sympathetic innervation was shown to mediate compensatory adrenal cortical growth, a cell proliferation response which occurs in the remaining adrenal after unilateral adrenalectomy. In unilaterally adrenalectomized, sympathectomized rats the characteristic increase in adrenal weight in the …

Long Term Maxillary Growth Following Primary Bone Grafting in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate
The question of growth attenuation of the maxillary complex arises in connection with primary osteoplasty procedure. The deficiencies associated with the development of the jaws in unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) children is an ongoing problem in terms of growth inhibition and …

Compensatory renal hypertrophy, mitochondria and redox status
… a result, the remaining renal tissue undergoes compensatory growth due primarily to hypertrophy, in which both the size and functional capacity of the remaining kidney are increased. Renal compensatory hypertrophy is associated with a series of physiological, morphological and biochemical …

Examining the Influence of Muscle Fiber Type on Protein Turnover Signaling in Growing Pigs
Postnatal skeletal muscle growth occurs through myonuclear accretion and high protein turnover rate. While fiber type composition of the muscle could affect protein turnover rate, less is known about how fiber type influences the regulation of protein synthesis and degradation signaling pathways. …

Understanding Patterns and Functional Impacts of an Invasive Tree and Its Biological Control in a Riparian System
… of Tamarix to Diorhabda. I found evidence for compensatory growth in response to defoliation. I also showed that a large portion of spatially structured variation in Tamarix cover was not associated with abiotic conditions, suggesting that biotic factors may be more important in determining the …

Assessment of a Nutritional Rehabilitation Model in Two Modern Broilers and Their Jungle Fowl Ancestor: A Model for Better Understanding Childhood Undernutrition
… and is associated with poor linear growth, villous atrophy, dysbiosis, and increased intestinal permeability. Inclusion of rye in poultry diets induces nutrient deficiencies and increases intestinal permeability, dysbiosis and decreases growth rates. The objective of this …

Diet quality and season affect physiology and energetic priorities of captive Steller sea lions during and after periods of nutritional stress
… seasonally dependent with sea lions displaying compensatory growth (by restoring lipid stores) in winter but not in summer. Summer appears to be a more difficult season for sea lions to recover from mild nutritional stress. These physiological findings can be used to refine bioenergetic models …

Rodents and Restionaceae : sex-specific plant-animal interactions in dioecious plants
… There was a general lack of evidence to suggest compensatory physiological changes or reductions in fitness (photosynthetic capacity/growth/reproduction) in females due to higher reproductive costs/nutrient-losses. The lack of physiological differences and the fact that females supported a …

Spatio-temporal patterns of forest disturbance in western North America: implications for forest resilience
… in western North America. First, I evaluated compensatory responses of forests following severe bark beetle outbreak. I found that compensatory growth responses are strongly shaped by both the characteristics and spatial arrangement of surviving trees, and that increased post-disturbance …

The Neurotrophic Influence on Craniofacial Development Subsequent to in Utero Unilateral Transection of the Trigeminal(V) Nerve
… tissue morphogenesis, subsequent development and growth, and maintenance of the craniofacial complex. This research is believed to be the first time that such a procedure has been attempted on a mammalian fetus. Each animal was clinically evaluated and then sacrificed at specific intervals between …

Craniosynostosis in a South Africa population
… of calvarial bones which lead to restricted growth potential. Compensatory growth occurs in the dimensions not restricted by fusion and causes progressive distortion in the skull shape. The majority of craniosynostosis cases occur in isolation and are so called non-syndromic craniosynostosis. …

The Relative Roles of Herbivore- and Pollinator-mediated Selection on the Evolution of Floral Display in the Invasive Plant, Lythrum salicaria
… responds to leaf-chewing herbivores by producing compensatory tissue growth, and this in turn alters the architecture of the floral display, I further tested whether herbivores can indirectly modify pollinator-mediated selection through this pathway. Using a split-plot design, I measured pollen …

Utilization of energy in high-fiber diets fed to pigs
… (Exp. 3), high-fiber fed pigs experienced compensatory growth and, therefore, BW of high-fiber-fed pigs was not different compared with low-fiber-fed pigs at the end of the finisher. The addition of the Bacillus-based DFM to low- or high-fiber diets improved (P ≤ 0.05) G:F in nursery pigs. …

The development of systems to improve the health and performance of dairy-origin beef young stock
… during the grower period (P<0.001), yet through compensatory growth achieved the greatest DLWG during the finishing period (P<0.001). Bulls on the GA and HA production systems had the greatest carcass weight (P<0.001). There were minimal effects on carcass characteristics and meat quality, and no …

The effect of application of the FAMACHA© system on selected production parameters in sheep
… and the FMCH group was able to make use of compensatory growth so that by the end of the trial, the was no significant difference in BCS between the groups. The FAMACHA© system allows for selective targeted use of anthelmintics, and studies to date are contradictory on whether or not …
