Inhibition of rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase I was studied by using several synthetic substrate analogs: dansylhydrazone of oxo-UDP, 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoylhydrazone of oxo-UDP, salicyloylhydrazone of oxo-UDP, 1-oxyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-3-carbonylhydrazone of oxo-UDP, N'-(dansyl)hydrazinocarbonylhydrazone of oxo-UDP and N'-(fluorenylidene-9)-hydrazinocarbonylhydrazone of oxo-UDP. All these compounds (with the exception of the nitroxyl-containing hydrazone) were characterized by a nonlinear dependence of the reverse reaction rate on the analog concentration in Dixon coordinates. The parabolic type of inhibition was due to the fact that the analogs tested except for the nitroxyl-containing hydrazone were able to interact both with the active center of the enzyme and with the FMN-binding site. The inhibition constants for oxo-UDP hydrazones were calculated for the both centers; their comparison revealed that the affinity of the analogs for the FMN-binding site increased with an increase in the radical hydrophobicity. These data suggest that the site with a high binding affinity for FMN is hydrophobic in nature. Apparently, isoalloxasine-like compounds display the highest affinity for this site.

This study aimed to determine if local injection of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) reduces sphincter fibrosis, restores sphincter muscle content, vascularization, and innervation, and recruits progenitor cells in a rabbit model of anal sphincter injury and incontinence. Adult female rabbits were assigned to three groups: uninjured/no treatment (control), injured/treated (treated), and injured/no treatment (untreated) ( = 4 each). Injured groups were anesthetized, and a section of external anal sphincter was removed at the 9 o'clock position.

Repairing cartilage tissue is a serious global challenge. Herein, we focus on wood skeletal structures that are highly porous for cell penetration yet have load-bearing strength, and aim to synthesize wood-derived hydrogels with the ability to regenerate cartilage tissues. The hydrogels were synthesized by wood delignification and the subsequent intercalation of citric acid (CA), which is involved in tricarboxylic acid cycles and essential for energy production, and -acetylglucosamine (NAG), which is a cartilage glycosaminoglycan, among cellulose microfibrils.

The tendon-bone junction (TBJ), a critical transitional zone where tendons and bones connect, is particularly prone to injury due to the forces from muscle contractions and skeletal movements. Once tendon-bone injuries occur, the complex original tissue structure is difficult to restore, increasing the risk of re-tear. In this study, we initially established a rabbit model of tendon-bone injury and treated it using either interference screw or suture anchor.

The gastrointestinal microbiota plays a key role in the host physiology and health through a complex host-microbiota co-metabolism. Metabolites produced by microbial metabolism can travel through the bloodstream to reach distal organs and affect their function, ultimately influencing the development of relevant production traits such as meat quality. Meat quality is a complex trait made up of a number of characteristics and intramuscular fat content (IMF) is considered to be one of the most important parameters.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of novel goose parvovirus (NGPV) infection on the skeletal muscle, brain, and intestine of ducks with locomotor dysfunction, using a sample of 97 diseased ducks from various breeds.
- Clinical signs suggested parvovirus infection, and postmortem results revealed widespread muscle emaciation and congestion in the brain and intestine, with molecular tests indicating the intestine had the highest presence of the virus.
- Histopathological analysis showed significant tissue damage, with NGPV detected in muscle fibers and brain cells, confirming its role in locomotor disorders associated with the infection.
