This study was designed to investigate whether kits to measure circulating cardiac troponin-I (cTn-I) and cardiac troponin-T (cTn-T) can be used to determine myocardial cell damage in cattle with traumatic reticuloperitonitis (trp). Twenty cattle with trp were compared with 10 clinically healthy cattle. cTn-I and cTn-T were determined qualitatively and cTn-I was determined quantitatively; biochemical analyses were also performed on both groups. The mean serum concentrations of total protein, globulin, glucose and calcium, and the mean activities of creatine kinase mb, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase and gamma-glutamyl transferase were higher in the cattle with trp than in the control group. The cTn-I and cTn-T kits both gave positive results in three of the cattle with trp and the quantitative measurement of cTn-I was positive in 11 of the trp cases. Both tests were negative in the healthy cattle.

Polyphenol autoxidation and prooxidative activity induce protein oxidation and protein-polyphenol adduct formation in model systems.

Polyphenols are well-known for their antioxidant properties, but their prooxidative activity remain less understood. This study quantitatively examined the formation of hydrogen peroxide (HO) during the autooxidation of nine different polyphenols in model systems, investigating how it impacts protein oxidation and protein-polyphenol covalent adduct formation. Polyphenols (4 mM) generated HO in the range of 0.

The increasing demand for food and especially proteins leads to the search for alternative protein sources. Meat co-products, which are available but little used in human food, provide a potential solution to this challenge. The present study aimed to evaluate the nutritional quality of two beef protein ingredients (greasy greaves recovered proteins (GGRP) and water recovered proteins (WRP)), both co-products of the fat rendering process.

Article Synopsis
- The study estimates the metabolizable energy (ME), protein (MP), and amino acid requirements for beef cattle to maintain health and promote growth through a mathematical model.
- The researchers analyzed data from 91 literature sources and used statistical methods like mixed models and multiple linear regression to derive nutrient needs and identify factors influencing average daily gain (ADG).
- Findings showed specific ME and MP requirements for maintenance and growth, with the conclusion that traditional growth requirements may be overestimated compared to existing literature.
Investigation of the molecular interaction between apraclonidine, an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, and bovine serum albumin using fluorescence and molecular docking techniques.

Article Synopsis
- Apraclonidine (APR) is a selective drug used for diagnosing Horner's Syndrome, but it can affect human health negatively due to its accumulation from animal tissue.
- The study examined how APR interacts with the protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) using various techniques like fluorescence and molecular docking, finding that APR binds weakly to BSA.
- The thermodynamic analysis indicated that the binding is mainly driven by entropy changes and involves significant hydrophobic interactions, with APR showing higher binding affinity to Drug Site 2 compared to Drug Site 1.

In this study, bovine serum albumin (BSA) is used as a globular protein model to examine the conformational changes that occur during the interaction of BSA with N-hydroxysulfo-succinimide (sodium salt)-functionalized gold nanourchins (GNUs), for which dynamic spectroscopic techniques are employed. The results showed that the absorbance of phosphate-buffered saline-BSA at 278 nm decreased when a GNU was added to the solution due to adsorption, and it decreased further when the GNU was increased. The intensity and width of the peak of local surface plasmon resonance increased, indicating the effect of corona formation.
