Dietary manipulation causes childhood obesity-like characteristics in pigs
… to controls (P = 0.001). Pigs given 6 wk of dietary intervention, consuming a control diet, marginally improved glucose area under the curve and LDL-cholesterol although insulin area under the curve was unaffected. Chronic HED intake increased (P < 0.05) subcutaneous, intramuscular, and …

Dietary Manipulation of Metabolic Function in the Human Gut Microbiome
… co-inertia analysis to draw associations between dietary choices and fecal SCFA metabolism. Together, these works highlight the need for personalization of prebiotic therapy and introduce potential biomarkers of responsiveness. In Chapter Four, we apply the concept of prebiotic therapy to …

Dietary Manipulation at Pre-Conception and During Development Influence Metabolism and Gut Microbiota in Rats
… Objective. This dissertation examines how dietary manipulation during the early post-natal period and during pre-conception alters metabolic, microbial and epigenetic outcomes in rats. Specifically, the objectives were to determine: 1) the impact of human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) …

Enhancement of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) Content in Cheddar Cheese by Combining Dietary Manipulation of Cattle and CLA Producing Starter Culture
… along with high CLA milk (obtained through dietary manipulation in cattle) would enhance the CLA content in Cheddar cheese. A diet containing fish oil (0. 75% of dry matter) was fed to 32 dairy cows grouped in a pen for 18 days. This increased the total CLA content from 0.575 to 1.60 g/1 00g …

Metabolic and hormonal responses to altered carbohydrate availability and its effect on fatigue development
… availability, achieved primarily by pre-exercise dietary manipulation and antecedent exercise exposure, on interindividual variability in metabolic and hormonal responses to dynamic, steady-state exercise. Further, this thesis examined the impact of altered blood glucose availability on fatigue …

Managerial and Nutritional Manipulation to Reduce Swine Odor
… dust/odor reduction technologies, and dietary manipulation to reduce urine pH and swine odor. The first section, iron bioavailability, contains three experiments which were conducted as hemoglobin depletion/repletion studies involving newly weaned iron-deprived piglets. The experiments …

Genetic and Physiological Basis of Carotenoid Accumulation in the Cavefish Astyanax mexicanus
… and surface fish Bco2a enzyme activity, and dietary manipulation experiments demonstrating differential metabolic responses between morphs. Chapter 4 synthesizes comparative evidence across vertebrates to interpret these findings in a wider context. Overall, this research aims to understand …

Maternal diet and programming of embryo and fetal development in the mouse
… study examined the impact of a relatively mild dietary protein restriction in the mouse during pregnancy on the subsequent development of the fetus. The responses of the fetus to the maternal dietary challenge were studied close to the end of gestation (at day 17) using three broadly different …

Oxidation and Textural Characteristics of Butter and Ice Cream with Modified Fatty Acid Profiles
… milkfat compositions were obtained through dietary manipulation of cows: high oleic content, high linoleic content and control milkfat. Ice cream and butter were processed from the treated and control milks. Butter and ice cream samples then were analyzed to measure differences in fatty acid …

Characteristics of Milk and Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese from Cows Fed Extruded Soybeans and Niacin
… Current health recommendations are to lower the dietary intake of fat, especially saturated fat. In 1992, total dairy sales accounted for over 10% of total food sales (Milk Industry Foundation, 1993). Since dairy products are perceived as being hypercholesterolemic, a market exists for dairy …

Dietary and Developmental Regulation of Nutrient Transporter Gene Expression in the Small Intestine of Two Lines of Broilers
… of feeding trials were conducted to evaluate the dietary and developmental regulation of nutrient transporter mRNA abundance in the small intestine of two lines of broilers selected on corn-based (Line A) or wheat-based (Line B) diets. Abundance of mRNA was quantified in all experiments using real …

Strategies to Improve Forage Utilization by Sheep Offered Forage Mixtures
<p>In the first experiment, alfalfa and novel endophyte-infected tall fescue (NE+) forages were harvested after a killing frost, then mixed to formulate 4 different treatments; alfalfa alone, 67% alfalfa +33% fescue, 33% alfalfa + 67% fescue, or 100% fescue. After 3 months of storage as silage, …
