This procedure evaluates the total concentration of Nitrogen (N), which is converted to protein by multiplying it by the nitrogen-to-protein conversion factor (N-factor) for meat (6.25). Giving that the insect cuticle contents large amounts of fibrous chitin, a polysaccharide rich in N, and ...
HC goats showed higher level of TJ proteins including claudin-1 and claudin-4 in the colonic mucosa than LC (p?<?0.05). Neither free LPS content in the colonic digesta nor NF-? B protein expression in tissues showed significant difference between HC and LC goats (p?>?0.05). Conclusions ...
Chemical- and light-inducible recombinases, in particular, enable spatiotemporal control of gene expression. However, inducible recombinases are scarce due to the challenge of engineering high performance systems, thus constraining the sophistication of genetic circuits and animal models that can be ...
Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells and hematocrit is a measurement of the amount of red blood cells as related to total blood cell count. Both hemoglobin and hematocrit are used to diagnose anemia. Both hemoglobin and hematocrit can be measured from standard blood tests, and both value...
Various metabolic engineering strategies have been established to construct efficient microbial cell factories for glutarate production: (i) Protein engineering of the rate-limiting enzyme—by mutating the rate-limiting enzyme trans-enoyl-CoA reductase TeR to TeRI287Vin the KR pathway, the glutarate tite...
Combining these methods with additional scaffolding, such as optical mapping and chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C), has been successful in achieving chromosome-level assemblies for several plant genomes [18,19,20,21,22,23]. In the present study, we report an improved, highly contiguous ...
Following gene expression level analysis, 1,615 up- and down-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mapped and used in the insulin treatment (INS) for subsequent functional analysis. Totals of 1,700 DEGs and 1,634 DEGs were mapped for the high fat (HF) and high fat-insulin (...
White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is an annual crop cultivated for its protein-rich seeds. It is adapted to poor soils due to the production of cluster roots, which are made of dozens of determinate lateral roots that drastically improve soil exploration and nutrient acquisition (mostly phosphate)...
Inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein (CRP: cutoff level at 5 mg/L) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR: cutoff level at 26 mm/h), were measured, and disease activity indexes were evaluated following the Mayo Index for UC and the Clinical Disease Activity Index for CD. ...
High level expression of proteins United States Patent 6114148 Abstract: The invention features a synthetic gene encoding a protein normally expressed in a mammalian cell wherein at least one non-preferred or less preferred codon in the natural gene encoding the protein has been replaced by a ...
