Steatotic liver disease diagnosed in a 24-year-old woman with Rett syndrome: a case report.

Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the gene, potentially disrupting lipid metabolism and leading to dyslipidemia (DLD) and steatotic liver disease (SLD). Although SLD has been described in RTT mouse models, it remains undocumented in humans. We herein describe a 24-year-old woman with RTT who was evaluated for abnormal liver enzymes.

CECAL SLURRY AS AN ALTERNATIVE MODEL TO CECAL LIGATION AND PUNCTURE FOR THE STUDY OF SEPSIS-INDUCED CARDIOVASCULAR DYSFUNCTION.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition widely studied by animal models. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) is still regarded as the gold standard model for sepsis. However, CLP has limitations due to its invasiveness and variability.

Dietary Hydroxytyrosol Supplementation on Growth Performance, Gut Morphometry, and Oxidative and Inflammatory Status in LPS-Challenged Broilers.

This study assessed the effects of hydroxytyrosol (HT) on 8- to 20-day-old broilers challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS); 180 Cobb500™ male chicks were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups, each comprising 10 replicates with 6 birds per replicate. Treatments included a control diet (CON), CON with LPS administration, and CON + LPS supplemented with 10 mg of HT/kg of feed. LPS was administered intraperitoneally on days 14, 16, 18, and 20.

Metabolizable Energy and Amino Acid Digestibility of Soybean Meal from Different Sources for Broiler Chickens Supplemented with Protease.

This study investigated the effect of the serine protease on metabolizable energy and amino acids' digestibility of different soybean meal for broilers. A total of 684 broilers chickens form 14 to 23 d age were distributed with nineteen treatments, six replicates, and six birds per replicate. Nine samples of soybean meal from different regions in Brazil were used, with some samples supplemented with the protease enzyme and others without addition.

Effects of Hydroxytyrosol Supplementation on Performance, Fat and Blood Parameters of Broiler Chickens.

The study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of hydroxytyrosol (HT) on performance, fat, and blood parameters of broilers. In total, 960 male chicks were distributed into four treatments groups with 12 replicates with 20 birds per pen, with varying HT levels (0, 5, 10, and 50 mg/kg of feed) added to the basal diet from 1 to 42 days old. Feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio were evaluated.
