Herd health and reproductive management associated with lamb weight gain and mortality in sub-Saharan drylands—a case from Ethiopia
Sheep are important for food and livelihood security in sub-Saharan Africa, and maximizing lamb weight gain while minimizing mortality is essential...

Meta-Analysis of Experimental Studies of Diet-Dependent Effects of Melatonin Monotherapy on Body Weight Gain and Eating Behavior in Rats
AbstractIn a previous meta-analysis, we showed that long-term melatonin administration minimizes diet-induced changes in lipid profiles. The present...

Gene-by-environment modulation of lifespan and weight gain in the murine BXD family
How lifespan and body weight vary as a function of diet and genetic differences is not well understood. Here we quantify the impact of differences in...

Effects of Bacillus subtilis BS-Z15 on Intestinal Microbiota Structure and Body Weight Gain in Mice
In our previous study, we identified a metabolite of Bacillus subtilis BS-Z15 (a strain with probiotic characteristics) that could improve immunity...

Evaluation of natural weathering and thermal degradation behavior of furfurylated bamboo strips at different weight percent gain
By filling hydrophobic furfuryl alcohol (FA) polymer into the bamboo structure, furfurylation can efficiently reduce the hygroscopicity of bamboo and...

MRTF-A gain-of-function in mice impairs homeostatic renewal of the intestinal epithelium
The actin-regulated transcription factor MRTF-A represents a central relay in mechanotransduction and controls a subset of SRF-dependent target...

Large-scale association study on daily weight gain in pigs reveals overlap of genetic factors for growth in humans
BackgroundImputation from genoty** array to whole-genome sequence variants using resequencing of representative reference populations enhances our...

Differential mechanisms affecting weight loss and weight loss maintenance
In most lifestyle, pharmacological and surgical interventions, weight loss occurs over an approximately 6- to 9-month period and is followed by a...

Performance, feed efficiency, feeding behavior, and cortisol concentration of lambs ranked for Residual Feed Intake and Residual Intake and Gain
This study aimed to evaluate the performance, feed efficiency, feeding behavior, and cortisol concentrations of lambs ranked into different groups of...

Effects of different maternal nutrition approaches on weight gain and on adipose and muscle tissue development of young bulls in the rearing phase
This study evaluated the effects of prenatal nutrition on body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG), rump fat thickness (RFT), backfat thickness...

Male guanine-rich RNA sequence binding factor 1 knockout mice (Grsf1−/−) gain less body weight during adolescence and adulthood
The guanine-rich RNA sequence binding factor 1 (GRSF1) is an RNA-binding protein of the heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H/F (hnRNP H/F) family...

Preliminary report of honeybee physiological changes pre- and post-hybrid lavender season in high and low weight gain colonies
Pollinators foraging on monocultures like hybrid lavender are suspected to suffer physiological stress. We used biomarkers to assess changes in...

Long-term oral administration of an HNF4α agonist prevents weight gain and hepatic steatosis by promoting increased mitochondrial mass and function
We report here that the potent HNF4α agonist N-trans-caffeoyltyramine (NCT) promotes weight loss by inducing an increase in mitochondrial mass and...

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells from obese mice prevent body weight gain and hyperglycemia
Changes that occur to the stem cell microenvironment with disease are a major consideration that may affect the behavior and potential therapeutic...

Effects of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) by-products and linseed (Linumusitatissimum) intake on digestibility, body weight gain, and estimated tissular composition in cull fat-tailed ewes
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rosemary ( Rosmarinus officinalis ) residues (RR) as dietary supplement in association with linseed...

Hypothalamic Grb10 enhances leptin signalling and promotes weight loss
Leptin acts on hypothalamic neurons expressing agouti-related protein (AgRP) or pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) to suppress appetite and increase energy...

A Meta-analysis of Optimum Level of Dietary Nanoselenium on Performances, Blood Constituents, Antioxidant Activity, Carcass, and Giblet Weight of Broiler Chickens
Contradictory reports regarding the effects of nanoselenium (NanoSe) on the performance of broiler chickens may occur. Therefore, the optimum...

Changes in weight gain, digestive and metabolic enzyme activities in Labeo rohita fingerlings in response to multiple stress exposure and dietary nutraceutical
A feeding trial was conducted for 4 months to study the effect of a nutraceutical conglomerate at different levels (0, 0.1, and 0.5%) on...
