The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of hydrogenated palm oil (HPO) added to a dairy goat diet on serum biochemistry and progesterone levels. Thirty pregnant Cilentana dairy goats were equally divided into 2 groups (control [CTR] and HPO groups). After kidding, concentrated feed for both groups was gradually increased up to 400 g/(animal·d), and the HPO group received 50 g/(animal·d) of HPO. Supplementation with HPO significantly increased cholesterol levels (mg/dL, 63.80 vs. 54.68 at 30 d, ≤ 0.05; 78.20 vs. 58.00 at 60 d, ≤ 0.05; 83.80 vs. 57.83 at 120 d, ≤ 0.01) compared with the CTR group although no significant differences were detected for liver and kidney function indicators. Moreover, other biochemical parameters were not affected by HPO supplementation thus suggesting no change occurred in lipid and protein metabolism. Furthermore, a significant correlation was found between progesterone levels and serum cholesterol ( = 0.65, ≤ 0.01) although these were not significantly higher in HPO supplemented goats. The dose and time of HPO supplementation appears critical as regards assessing the limits between the risks and benefits of HPO supplementation in dairy goats. At the tested dose, HPO was well tolerated by the animals and may represent a useful tool to increase energy availability during highly demanding periods.

Circadian rhythm disruption (CRD), stemming from sleep disorders and/or shift work, is a risk factor for reproductive dysfunction. CRD has been reported to disturb nocturnal melatonin signaling, which plays a crucial role in female reproduction as a circadian regulator and an antioxidant. The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis regulates female reproduction, with luteinizing hormone (LH) pulse pattern playing a pivotal role in folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis.

This study evaluated the biofuel production potential of two algal species, Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Scenedesmus abundans, under stress conditions induced by nutrient supplementation or starvation at varying light intensities. Central composite face-centered design response surface methodology (CCFD-RSM) was employed to optimize stress conditions by varying the sodium nitrate (NaNO), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KHPO), dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (KHPO), cultivation time, and light intensity. The study included both C.

We performed an NMR and EPR study of the interaction of four [Ga(3,4-HPO)] chelates with liposomes derived from a soybean extract (SEL) and simpler formulations using POPC (100%) and POPE:POPC (50%). Parent [Fe(3,4-HPO)] chelates are eligible to prevent Iron Deficiency Chlorosis and we took advantage of the likenesses of the ions Fe (III) and Ga (III), and the fact their metal ion complexes are isostructural, to perform a combined NMR and EPR study to get information about the permeation properties of the complexes. The results demonstrate the presence of liposomes loaded with Ga-chelates and that the distribution of complexes alongside the bilayer is dependent on their structure.

Ever-increasing occurrence of plastic-manufacturing industries leads to environmental pollution that has been associated with declined human health and increased incidence of compromised reproductive health. Female subfertility/infertility is a complex phenomenon and environmental toxicants as well as lifestyle factors have a crucial role to play. Bisphenol S (BPS) was believed to be a "safer" replacement of bisphenol A (BPA) but recent data documented its neurotoxic, hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic, and reprotoxic attributes.

Bacterial cellulose has drawn the attention for its unique properties and applications including; medicine, pharmacy, food, agricultural, textile and electronics. The present study focused on the production of bacterial cellulose nanofibrils (BCNF) from black tea as cost effective alternative medium in addition to study the effect of gamma radiation on BCNF properties. A symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) were isolated from commercial Kombucha beverage and were identified as Acinetobacter lowffii and Candida krusei, respectively.
