Ruminants are able to produce food for human consumption from plants, thanks to rumen bacteria. Bacteria are able to transform feed to microbial proteins and to biohydrogenate unsaturated fatty acids, contributing directly to fine milk composition. The database consists of daily records of milk yield, somatic cell score and 17 milk components such as fatty acids and proteins from 795 Lacaune dairy ewes.

BH leads to a high proportion of saturated fat in ruminant products, but also products some potential bioactive intermediates like conjugated linoleic and linolenic acids. BH is composed of two kinds of reactions: first an isomerization of PUFA followed by reductions (two for linoleic acid, C18:2n-6; three for α-linolenic acid, C18:3n-3).

The present study aimed to analyze the digestion and excretion of N and minerals from 29 to 63 d of age of these 2 lines compared with an unselected control line (G0) under 2 feeding levels (ad libitum or restricted). The ADGrestrict line had greater digestibility compared with G0 (+1.

- A study assessed the need for a 6-minute walk distance (6-MWD) reference equation specifically for healthy North African adults over 40 years old, involving 229 Tunisian participants.
- The research found that existing reference equations were not accurate, and identified that gender, age, weight, and height significantly affect 6-MWD, explaining 77% of its variability.
- The study also highlighted that women with higher parity (more than six children) had a reduced 6-MWD compared to those with lower parity, and the newly developed equation provided a reliable prediction for 6-MWD measurements in this demographic.
