    Arginine induces skeletal muscle fiber type conversion by upregulating Akirin2 and AMPK/PGC-1α in mice

    We have previously reported that arginine promotes slow myosin heavy chain expression in cell culture via Akirin2 and the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway. Our goal in the present study wa...

    Dietary pea fiber increases diversity of colonic methanogens of pigs with a shift from Methanobrevibacter to Methanomassiliicoccus-like genus and change in numbers of three hydrogenotrophs

    Pea fiber (PF) is a potential fibrous supplement in swine production. The influence of dietary PF on microbial community in the colon of pigs remains largely unexplored. Methanogens in the hindgut of monogastr...
