Effects of Yucca Extract on Nutrient Digestibility, Antioxidant Status, Estrus and Faecal Microorganism in Gilts.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of yucca extract (YE) supplementation on estrus, nutrient digestibility, antioxidant capacity and fecal microorganisms of gilts. Twenty gilts were randomly divided into two groups: basal diet (CONT) and basal diet + 0.25 g/kg YE (YETG).

Revealing the mechanism of fiber promoting sow embryo implantation by altering the abundance of uterine fluid proteins: A proteomic perspective.

Many studies have shown that fiber in the diet plays an important role in improving the reproductive performance of sows, but there is rarely research on the impact of fiber on early embryo implantation. This study used 4D-Label free technology to identify and analyze the effect of the fiber composition in the diet on the protein in the early pregnancy uterine fluid (UF) of sows. The results indicate that ratio of insoluble fibers to soluble fibers (ISF/SF) 4.

The effect of maternal consumption of high-fat diet on ovarian development in offspring.

The environment encountered by the fetus during its development exerts a profound influence on its physiological function and disease risk in adulthood. Women's intake of high-fat diet during pregnancy and lactation has gradually become an issue of widespread concern. Maternal high-fat diet will not only cause abnormal neurological development and metabolic syndrome symptoms in the offspring, but also affect the fertility of female offspring.

Effects of yeast-derived postbiotic supplementation in late gestation and lactation diets on performance, milk quality, and immune function in lactating sows.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of yeast-derived postbiotic (YDP) supplementation in sow diets during late gestation and lactation on the performance of sows and their offspring. At 90-d gestation, 150 sows (Landrace × Large White, parity: 3.93 ± 0.

Identification of Long Non-Coding RNAs for Predicting Prognosis Among Patients with Thymoma.

Background: Thymoma is the most common primary anterior mediastinal neoplasm with a high recurrence rate. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been indicated to be used as diagnostic and prognostic indicators for different cancers. The aim of this study was to identify new tumor-specific prognostic lncRNA markers that can improve the treatment and follow-up of patients with thymomas.
