Modulation of inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers due to dexamethasone exposure in chicken splenocytes.

Dexamethasone (DEXA) is a potent corticosteroid, commonly used for treating inflammatory, hypersensitive and allergic conditions. It is administered to birds with tumours. Many studies were conducted on its immunosuppressive effects; however none of the similar study is available employing chicken splenocytes culture system.

immunomodulatory potential of Willd. in chicken lymphocytes.

Electronic Northern Analysis of Genes and Modeling of Gene Networks Underlying Bovine Milk Fat Production.

Milk fat is one of the most important economic traits in dairy animals. Yet, the biological machinery involved in milk fat synthesis remains poorly understood. In the present study, expression profiling of 45 genes involved in lipid biosynthesis and secretion was performed using a computational approach to identify those genes that are differentially expressed in mammary tissue.
