The objective of this study was to determine the effects of NEFA and glucose on carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I) mRNA expression in cultured bovine hepatocytes using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and ELISA methods. The results indicated that CPT-I transcription increased gradually, but that CPT-I translation was not significantly changed, with glucose concentrations ranging from 0 to 3.0 mmol/L (P<0.01). Furthermore CPT-I transcription and translation were enhanced significantly when the NEFA concentrations increased from 0 to 1.2 mmol/L and decreased significantly when the NEFA concentrations increased from 1.2 to 4.8 mmol/L (P<0.01). A high concentration NEFA was found to reduce fatty acid oxidation, potentially explaining the development from NEB to ketosis in dairy cows.

Introduction: Metabolic responses to glucagon beyond the promotion of endogenous glucose production in type 1 diabetes remains poorly explored. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the metabolic responses to glucagon stimulation in type 1 diabetes and explore whether recent exposure to hypoglycemia would impact glucagon sensitivity.
Research Design And Methods: Twenty-nine participants, 19 with type 1 diabetes and ten healthy controls, underwent a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp with five-stepwise ascending glucagon injections.

Forty-eight multiparous Holstein cows were used in a randomized complete block design and assigned to one of 4 treatments in a 2x2 factorial arrangement of treatments to determine the effects of supplemental palmitic acid (C16:0) and chromium (Cr) on production responses of early-lactation cows. During the fresh period (FR; 1-24 d in milk), cows were fed one of 4 treatments: (1) a diet containing no supplemental C16:0 or Cr (CON); (2) diet supplemented with an 85% C16:0-enriched supplement (PA); (3) diet supplemented with Cr-propionate (CR); and (4) diet supplemented with a C16:0-enriched supplement and Cr-propionate (PACR). The C16:0-enriched supplement was added at 1.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder in women of reproductive age. Anovulation is one of the most important clinical features of PCOS, and insulin resistance (IR) is one of the critical pathogenic factors. Woxuanzhongzhou (WXZZ) is a traditional herbal formulation that has shown efficacy in treating PCOS combined with IR, but the underlying mechanism is not clear.

The aim of this two-phase study was to evaluate the use of beet pulp concentrate (BPC) in athletic horses. On the first trial the effects of supplementation with 820g of BPC for 12 weeks were assessed and a crossover postprandial curves of blood biomarkers were determined in five adult Arabian mares. Differences were found in T-chol, HDL-chol, TPP and MCHC (p < 0.

Introduction: High-producing dairy cows often face calving stress and reduced feed intake during the transition period, leading to body fat mobilization to meet production demands. Supplementing rations with energy-dense sources like rumen-protected glucose (RPG) may enhance production performance in early lactation.
Methods: This study evaluated the effects of RPG supplementation on feed intake, body condition score (BCS), production performance, and blood metabolites in 32 early-lactation Holstein Friesian cows (6 ± 1 DIM; milk yield: 30 ± 5 kg/day; body weight: 550 ± 50 kg; BCS: 3.
