SELF-REINOCULATION WITH FECAL FLORA CHANGES MICROBIOTA DENSITY AND COMPOSITION LEADING TO AN ALTERED BILE-ACID PROFILE IN THE MOUSE SMALL INTESTINE

Self-reinoculation with fecal flora changes microbiota density and composition leading to an altered bile-acid profile in the mouse small intestine

Abstract Background The upper gastrointestinal tract plays a prominent role in human physiology as the primary site for enzymatic Door Closing Hook digestion and nutrient absorption, immune sampling, and drug uptake.Alterations to the small intestine microbiome have been implicated in various human diseases, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis an

Dinosaur origin of egg color: oviraptors laid blue-green eggs

Protoporphyrin (PP) and biliverdin (BV) give rise to the enormous diversity in avian egg coloration.Egg color serves several ecological purposes, including post-mating signaling and camouflage.Egg camouflage represents a major character of open-nesting birds which accomplish protection of their unhatched offspring against visually oriented predator

Long-term music stimulating alleviated the inflammatory responses caused by acute noise stress on the immune organs of broilers by NF-κB signaling pathway

As an environmental enrichment, music can positively influence the immune function, while noise has an adverse effect on the physical and mental health of humans and animals.However, whether music-enriched environments mitigate noise-induced acute stress remains unclear.To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of music on the immune organs of b
