Using simultaneous signatures of C and N isotope ratios, we analysed the possible origin of available energy in muscles of nine different bottom-feeding fish species. We verified that seven of the nine fish species had the highest contribution of carbon from a littoral source compared to other ...
For several decades, genetic improvements in chicken production have improved growth rate and body size, resulting in a higher yield of breast meat in broilers. With the increased quantitative yield, defective abnormalities in muscles also have been found. These abnormalities include deep pectoral myopa...
(2011). Tg overexpression of RBP4 or administration of recombinant RBP4 proteins promotes insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in normal mice; conversely, genetic deletion of RBP4 improves insulin sensitivity (Yang et al., 2005). RBP4 promotes insulin resistance in skeletal muscles, adipocytes, ...
Faster growing animals are gen- erally more efficient as proportionally less energy is required for maintenance. However, the rate of increase in muscle mass, or average daily gain (ADG) of muscle cannot be directly measured on a live animal. Change in eye (longissimus) muscle (LM) area (...
Protein is one of the major components of the human diet. It helps the body build tissue, muscle, red blood cells, enzymes, antibodies, and hormones. Athletes need to include more protein in their diets than nonathletes. Athletes place more stress on their muscles, and extra protein helps ...
Often blamed as a cause for weight gain, people shun carbohydrates that are crucial for the body's performance. Here are the major purposes that carbs serve
Which foods are the major sources of lactose?Lactose:Lactose can be defined as a large sugar molecule, which is a disaccharide. It breaks down into small sugar molecules like galactose and glucose in the small intestine. These components are absorbed by the cell lining of the small intestine....
The oldest fossils of cyanobacteria can be found in the form of stromatolites (Figure 1). The sun’s light, limited only by its physical properties, was, and is, the principal source of energy for such cells. The very short wavelengths such as X-rays and gamma rays create free radicals...
英语翻译muscle :a tissue whose cells have the ability yo contract.producing movement or force.muscle possess mechanisms for converting energy derived from chemical reactions into mechanical energy.the major functions of muscles are to produce mov
The major storage sites for glycogen are?GlycogenGlycogen is a polysaccharide that is stored as glucose and is used as the main source of energy in our cells.Answer and Explanation: The major storage sites for glycogen are the liver, muscles, kidneys, brain, and white blood cells. The liver...
