Expression and Immunolocalization of Aquaporins in the Buffalo Liver and Adipose Tissue.

Increasing incidences of fatty liver in humans and animals worldwide is the leading cause of liver related morbidities. Currently, in the face of the growing global increase in fatty liver, and the necessity to explore new factors significantly affecting it, aquaporins (AQPs) have become the focus of interest for many researchers. AQPs are membrane integral proteins involved in the transport of water, glycerol and other small solutes.

Peptidome Profiling of Urine and Assessment of Its Antimicrobial Activity against Mastitis-Causing Pathogens.

Urinary proteins have been studied quite exhaustively in the past, however, the small sized peptides have remained neglected for a long time in dairy cattle. These peptides are the products of systemic protein turnover, which are excreted out of the body and hence can serve as an important biomarker for various pathophysiologies. These peptides in other species of bovine have been reported to possess several bioactive properties.
