The objective of this study was to evaluate which biochemical markers in the prepartum period of dairy cows influence the immediate postpartum period, the quality of colostrum, and the passive immunity transference in the calves. The experiment was performed on a commercial dairy farm with 52 pregnant multiparous Holstein cows. Animals that gave birth to twins or males were discarded from the experiment.

Materials And Methods: Searches were performed in five databases (Scopus, EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane-Central). Studies that compared the inflammatory profile of normal-weight individuals to those with obesity and evaluated the same cytokine, collection method, and periodontal diagnosis (periodontal health, gingivitis, or periodontitis) were included.
Article Synopsis
- The hydrostatic skeleton of plants is formed by pressurized cells with strong walls, which rely on RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR (RALF) peptides for assembly and expansion.
- The RALF22 peptide plays a key role in root hair cell expansion by compacting pectin polymers and forming a complex with other proteins, triggering adaptive cellular responses.
- This study reveals that RALF peptides serve both structural and signaling functions in plant cell wall organization, suggesting a broader application in various plant cell types.
