The Effects of a Blend of Essential Oils in the Milk of Suckling Calves on Performance, Immune and Antioxidant Systems, and Intestinal Microbiota.
Animals (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Animal Science, Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC), Chapecó 89815-630, SC, Brazil.
The objective of the present study was to determine whether the addition of a blend based on the essential oils of cinnamon, oregano, and eucalyptus to the liquid diets of calves would stimulate the immune system combined with anti-inflammatory action, minimize oxidative responses, and alter the intestinal microbiota, consequently enhancing animal growth. Twenty-four male Holstein calves (approximately five days old) were suckled for 60 days, underwent a weaning process, and were followed up until day 75 of the experiment. The calves were divided into control ( = 12) and phytobiotic ( = 12) groups, receiving commercial milk replacer and pelleted concentrate ad libitum.

Background And Aims: Wilson disease (WD) results in the defective incorporation of copper into ceruloplasmin as well as decreased biliary copper excretion. Secondary iron overload has also been associated with WD; however, the prevalence is currently unknown. This study aims to determine the prevalence of potential secondary iron overload in patients suspected to have WD.

While copper (Cu) is an essential trace element for biological systems due to its redox properties, excess levels may lead to adverse effects partly due to overproduction of reactive species. Thus, a tightly regulated Cu homeostasis is crucial for health. Cu dyshomeostasis and elevated labile Cu levels are associated with oxidative stress and neurodegenerative disorders, but the underlying mechanisms have yet to be fully characterized.

Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory, Provincial Hospital of Bolzano (SABES-ASDAA), Bolzano, Italy.
Introduction: Knowledge and systematic evaluation of analytical errors is the task of internal analytical quality control management. The aim of this study was to assess whether the Westgard rules proposed by Bio-Rad's Westgard Advisor software are more efficient in the monitoring of analytical performance than those previously in use.
Materials And Methods: The study was carried out on the nephelometer Atellica NEPH630 (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany).
Copper status and its relation to abdominal obesity indices and liver function in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a case-control study.

Nutrition Research Center, Department of Biochemistry and Diet Therapy, Faculty of Nutrition & Food Sciences, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.
Objective: This study investigated copper (Cu) status in relation to abdominal obesity indices and liver function in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This case-control study was carried out on 80 overweight/obese patients with NAFLD and 80 apparently healthy age, sex, and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls. A validated and reliable 168-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was completed for each subject and fasting serum levels of liver aminotransferases, ferritin, Cu and ceruloplasmin were assessed.
