Rice bran supplementation modulates environmental enteric dysfunction markers and serum metabolites in weaning Nicaraguan infants
… supplementation on growth, EED biomarkers, and serum metabolites in healthy, weaning infants from six-to-twelve months old residing in León, Nicaragua. Effects of dietary RB supplementation on growth and EED biomarkers were examined after a six-month feeding period. Five-month-old infants (n=71) …

Influence of oligosaccharides and fish oil on gastrointestinal tract characteristics and metabolic profiles of humans, pigs, and rats
… considered safe due to no untoward effects on serum metabolites, hematology, and urinalysis compared to the control. Ingestion of the UCNF resulted in increased plasma and RBC levels of the n-3 fatty acids (FA) with a concomitant decrease in n-6 FA. Bifidobacteria were unaffected by treatment. …

Metabolic alterations and adipose tissue dysfunction in individuals with a family history of type 2 diabetes
… tissue dysfunctions, as well as explore novel metabolites, associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), examining individuals both with and without known genetic predisposition to T2D. This thesis is part of the research conducted at Lundberg laboratory for diabetes research, Institute of …

Development of Lure Forages for Minimizing Winter Depredation By Deer in South Dakota
… evaluated by monitoring body weights and blood serum metabolites (i.e., glucose [Wesson et al. 1979], blood urea nitrogen [Kirkpatrick et al. 19751), and blood pH (Essig et al. 1988). Blood serum metabolites were chosen to indicate: acidic levels (pH), stress (Cortisol). Dietary protein (Blood …

Obesity and Health in the CHRIS study
… data of the CHRIS study, to identify different serum metabolites associated with metabolically healthy/unhealthy obesity, using logistic regression and random forest methods to explore metabolic signatures to distinguish obesity into metabolically healthy and metabolically unhealthy obesity. …

THE USE OF SALTY AND SUGARY FORMER FOOD PRODUCTS IN GROWING AND FINISHING PIG DIETS: EFFECTS ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE, NUTRIENT DIGESTIBILITY, BEHAVIOUR, GUT HEALTH, MEAT QUALITY AND FEED SAFETY
… the small intestine and the effects on selected serum metabolites and insulin secretion. Moreover, the effects on meat quality traits, carcass composition and sensory characteristics of the loins were evaluated. In the last part, the safety issues linked to the use of FFPs were investigated. FFPs …

Evaluation of novel plant- and yeast-based protein sources on nutrient digestibility, fecal metabolites, and taurine status in dogs and cats
… in the macronutrient ATTD, fecal scores, or serum metabolites of dogs fed diets containing legumes or yeast. Dogs fed the legume or yeast diets had greater (P < 0.05) fecal short-chain fatty acid concentration compared with the poultry by-product meal (control) diet. Additionally, the dogs …

Interactions Between Gut Microbial Composition, Mucosal Immunity and Metabolism
… the microbial ecosystem, intestinal immunity and serum metabolic profiles in C57BL/6 mice. Vancomycin treatment significantly altered gut microbiome composition, affected T cell and innate-like lymphocyte (ILC) populations in the small intestine, and increased levels of intestinal and serum IgA. …

Novel Serum Biomarkers For Lung Cancer Early Diagnosis and Clinical Outcome
… 40 years. Despite the tremendous efforts made, serum biomarkers with clinical utility for lung cancer early detection and clinical outcome prediction are still lacking. Metabolic alterations have been recognized as an emerging hallmark of cancer. We aimed to investigate the metabolic changes …

Multimodal, longitudinal, and mega-analysis of biomedical data
… and a hypothesis will be presented to explain serum metabolites that are associated with progress-free survival status and possibly therapeutic efficacy. Challenges related to mega-analysis of biomedical data will be explored through the creation of a pipeline to preprocess transcriptomics data …

Effects of Orange (Citrus sinensis) Pulp-buffalo grass (Cenchruis cilliaris) silage on digestibility, growth performance and blood metabolites of windsnyer-type and large white x landrace crossed pigs
… gain to feed ratio (AG: F) were measured weekly. Serum glucose (GLU) , blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CREAT), cholesterol, (CHOL) and triglycerides (TG) were measured during week 4 of the experiment. The levels of CP, EE, NDF, water soluble carbohydrates (WSC), lactic acid (LA) and pH were …

Effects of algal docosahexaenoic acid in an extruded cat diet on nutrient digestibility, fecal characteristics and metabolites, and blood coagulation parameters and fatty acid profiles of plasma and red blood cell membranes
… on 0, 30, 60, and 90 d and analyzed for serum metabolites, complete blood count, coagulation parameters, and plasma and red blood cell fatty acid profiles. A 4-d total fecal collection was performed at the end of the experimental period for determination of ATTD of macronutrients and …

Avocado meal: A novel dietary fiber source in feline and canine diets
… AMD. Dogs remained healthy during the study and serum metabolites were within reference ranges for adult dogs among all dietary treatments, even though statistical differences were detected for a few serum metabolites. As with the feline study, monadic food acceptability tests resulted in low …

Soybean hulls as a dietary fiber source in canine and feline diets
… a blood sample was collected and analyzed for serum chemistry. Food was offered twice daily and fed to maintain body weight. In the first study, eight adult female beagles (mean age = 4.6 ± 0.6 yr; mean BW = 12.8 ± 1.7 kg) were used. Food intake (g/d) on a dry matter basis (DMB) did not differ …
