IntroductionNegative energy balance (NEB) is the pathological basis of metabolic disorders in early lactation dairy cows. Rumen-protected glucose (RPG) is a feed additive to relieve NEB of cows in ear
BackgroundThe mammary gland is a conserved site of lipoprotein lipase expression across species and lipoprotein lipase attachment to the luminal surface of mammary gland vascular endothelial cells has
In the present study we analyzed morphological and metabolic alterations in dams nursing small litters and their consequences to offspring throughout lactation. Offspring sizes were adjusted to Small
Obesity is an established risk factor for cancer in many tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract. In the mammalian intestine, a pro-obesity high fat diet (HFD) promotes tumorigenesis in part by enh
The 24h gene expression profile in the lactating mammary gland was demonstrated using the Human Ref-8 BeadChip array (Illumina, Inc). Of the 22,184 gene transcripts on the array, 14,070 genes were con
