Comparative Analyses and Structural Modeling of RNAs Participating in Non-Canonical Initiation of Protein Synthesis 

Burks, Jody (2010-12-09)
Transfer-messenger RNA and the Internal Ribosomal Entry Site (IRES) RNAs of Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) and Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) play important roles in trans-translation and cap-independent protein ...

Effect of Diet Complexity, Multi-enzyme Complexes, Essential Oils, and Benzoic Acid on Weanling Pigs 

wang, yingfeng (2016-05-05)
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of supplementing a simple corn-soybean meal (SBM) diet with multi-enzyme complexes, essential oils, and benzoic acid on growth performance, serum metabolite profile, ...

The Effect of Early Dietary Amino Acid Restrictions on Serum Metabolites in Pigs Selected for Lean Growth Efficiency 

Mule, Hazarath (2005-12-15)
Thirty-two select line and 32 control line pigs (average, 20 kg) were used in each of the two experiments to assess the effect of dietary amino acid restrictions during the grower phase on serum metabolites. In Exp. 1, 16 ...

The Effect of Pharmacological and Dietary Modulators of Lipid Metabolism on Gene Expresion in a Porcine Model 

Tang, Ling (2006-12-15)
Modifying the size and/or carcass distribution of adipose tissue in meat producing animals by nutritional and pharmacological means has long been of interest to animal scientists. In pigs, as in other meat animals, a more ...

RNA Integrity Is Not Affected When Tissue Sampling Is Performed Post-Scald in Market Weight Yorkshire Pigs 

Bohan, Amy (2014-07-11)
Tissue samples are collected as quickly as possible following exsanguination to minimize the risk of RNA degradation and facilitate gene expression assays. However, collecting subcutaneous adipose tissue and longissimus ...

Targeted Gene Expression Profiling in Beef Cattle under Finishing Conditions in the South Eastern United States: Identification of regulatory factors involved in metabolic efficiency, energy partitioning, and intramuscular fat deposition 

Burnett, Derris (2014-04-25)
Three studies were conducted in order to examine the molecular events associated with metabolic efficiency in specific skeletal muscle and adipose tissue depots in finishing beef cattle. In the first study a total of 15 ...
