VARIATIONS IN HEPATIC LIPID SPECIES OF AGE-MATCHED MALE MICE FED A METHIONINE-CHOLINE-DEFICIENT DIET AND HOUSED IN DIFFERENT ANIMAL FACILITIES

Variations in hepatic lipid species of age-matched male mice fed a methionine-choline-deficient diet and housed in different animal facilities

Abstract Background Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a common disease and feeding mice a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet is a frequently used model to study its pathophysiology.Genetic and environmental factors influence NASH development and liver lipid content, which was studied herein using C57BL/6 J mice bred in two different anim

Life cycle assessment of pasture-based suckler steer weanling-to-beef production systems: Effect of breed and slaughter age

Demand for beef produced from pasture-based diets is rising as it is perceived to be healthier, animal friendly and good for the environment.Animals reared on a solely grass forage diet, however, have a lower growth rate than cereal-fed animals and consequently are slaughtered at an older age.This study focused on the former by conducting life cycl

Toward a Normalized XML Schema for the GGP Data Archives

Since 1997, the Global Geodynamics Project (GGP) stations have used a text-based data format.The main drawback of this type of data coding is the lack of data integrity during HERBATINT 4C the data flow processing.As a result, metadata and even data must be checked by human operators.In this paper, we propose a new format for representing Jerseys t
