Weaning is a critical transitional point in the life cycle of piglets.Early weaning can lead to Ornament post-weaning syndrome, destroy the intestinal barrier function and microbiota homeostasis, cause diarrhea and threaten the health of piglets.The nutritional components of milk and solid foods consumed by newborn animals can affect the diversity
Abstract Objective Predictions of the future bone mineral density and bone loss rate are important to tailor medicine for women with osteoporosis, because of the possible presence of personal risk factors affecting the severity of osteoporosis in the future.We investigated whether it was possible to predict bone mineral density and bone loss rate i
Nervous system function relies on precise synaptic connections.A number of widely-conserved cell adhesion proteins are implicated in cell recognition between synaptic partners, but how these proteins act as a group to specify a complex neural network is poorly understood.Taking advantage of known connectivity in C.elegans, we identified and studied
Some areas under the Tropical Moist Evergreen Forests (TMEF), the major forest type in the Intermediate Zone of Sri Lanka, are heavily dominated by a native bamboo species, Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss.altering the hierarchical status and structure.The study evaluated whether the over-abundance of B.bambos has modified the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal
The food chain contributes to a substantial part of greenhouse gas GOLDEN FLAX SEED GROUND (GHG) emissions and growing evidence points to the urgent need to reduce GHGs emissions worldwide.Among suggestions were proposals to alter food consumption patterns by replacing animal foods with more plant-based foods.However, the nutritional dimensions of
