Meat Production and Supply Chain Under COVID-19 Scenario: Current Trends and Future Prospects.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted meat production, supply chain, and meat prices that caused a severe socio-economic crisis worldwide. Initially, meat and meat products' prices increased due to less production and increased demand because of panic buying. Whereas, later on, both meat production and demand were significantly decreased due to lockdown restrictions and lower purchasing power of the consumers that results in a decrease in meat prices.

In Vitro Antioxidant Activities and the Therapeutic Potential of Some Newly Synthesized Chalcones Against 4-Acetaminophenol Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats.

The lack of safety and efficacy of existing hepatoprotective agents urge the need to explore novel hepatoprotective agents. The research work was planned to study the therapeutic potential of some newly synthesized chalcones against 4-acetaminophenol induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Male albino rats (N = 30) were divided into 6 groups of 5 animals each i.

Designing a control chart of extended EWMA statistic based on multiple dependent state sampling.

In this paper, we presented a memory type control chart (CC) based on multiple dependent state (MDS) sampling to pinpoint the slight variation in the process mean for the quality trait of normal distribution (ND). Two pairs of control limits denominated as internal and external control limits are derived using under control mean and variance. The essential steps are taken to get the value of average run length (ARL) for stable and disturb process.

Hepcidin: A key regulator of iron.

Hapcidin is the central regulator of iron homeostasis in the body. Primarily it is extracted from urine. Hepcidin is a 25 amino acid long chain peptide.

IP-10 Promotes Blood-Brain Barrier Damage by Inducing Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Production in Japanese Encephalitis.

Japanese encephalitis is a neuropathological disorder caused by Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), which is characterized by severe pathological neuroinflammation and damage to the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Inflammatory cytokines/chemokines can regulate the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins and are believed to be a leading cause of BBB disruption, but the specific mechanisms remain unclear. IP-10 is the most abundant chemokine produced in the early stage of JEV infection, but its role in BBB disruption is unknown.

Phytochemical and cytotoxic evaluation of Medicago monantha: In vivo protective potential in rats.

This research focuses on screening and evaluation of bioactive constituents in plants through pharmacological assays. In present study, we evaluated phytochemicals, cytotoxic activity, in vivo effect of M. monantha against CCl induced toxicity in cardiac and renal tissues and its aphrodisiac potential in rats.

Low power continuous wave-laser seed irradiation effect on Moringa oleifera germination, seedling growth and biochemical attributes.

Recently, laser application in agriculture has gained much attention since plant characteristics were improved significantly in response of pre-sowing seed treatment. Pre-sowing laser seed treatment effects on germination, seedling growth and mineral profile were studied in Moringa olifera. M.
