Study on active response of superoxide dismutase and relevant binding interaction with bioaccumulated phthalates and key metabolites in Eisenia fetida

Xiuli Fan et al.

Summary: Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are widely distributed organic pollutants in the environment, with harmful effects such as inhibiting superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Earthworms exposed to different PAE congeners showed varying responses in SOD activity. In vitro experiments demonstrated that PAEs like DBP, MBP, and PA could inhibit SOD activity, with inhibition levels correlating with concentration. The interaction between PAEs and SOD was found to be thermodynamically exothermic, primarily driven by van der Waals force and hydrogen bonds, leading to changes in protein conformation and fluorescence.

Improvement of stability and in vivo antioxidant effect of human glutathione peroxidase mutant by PEGylation

Yanwei Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, PEGylation of GPxM was shown to enhance its stability and antioxidant effect, while reducing immunogenicity, potentially broadening its application as an important antioxidant drug. The improvement of PEGylated GPxM, especially PEGylated GPx1M, was stronger than that of monoPEGylated GPxM.

Genetic diversity and population structure of Tibetan sheep breeds determined by whole genome resequencing

Lei-Lei Li et al.

Summary: Tibetan sheep, an ancient breed in China, underwent divergence based on geographic conditions 2500 years ago, leading to different breeds with a close genetic relationship. The study revealed common selective genes related to hypoxic adaptability in breeds at higher altitudes, as well as breed-specific genes affecting physical characteristics such as wool growth. This research enhances our understanding of trait formation and provides insights for Tibetan sheep breeding.

Artificial intelligence and abdominal adipose tissue analysis: a literature review

Federico Greco et al.

Summary: AI-based quantitative imaging analysis offers a fast and reliable method for automatic segmentation of abdominal adipose tissue compartments, potentially improving the assessment standards of disease risk and outcomes. Manual segmentation of imaging data may be inefficient, while AI has the capability to extract data from CT and MR images, providing crucial information for physicians.

Effects of Slaughter Age on Myosin Heavy Chain Isoforms, Muscle Fibers, Fatty Acids, and Meat Quality in Longissimus Thoracis Muscle of Tibetan Sheep

Gaoliang Bao et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effect of slaughter age on meat quality, fatty acid composition, and the expression of MyHC isoform genes in Tibetan sheep. Results showed differences in muscle fiber types at different ages, with 1.5-year-old Tibetan sheep having meat better suited for a healthy human diet. Additionally, meat quality and fatty acid composition of Tibetan sheep changed with increasing age, indicating the importance of age in regulating these characteristics.

Performance, carcass traits and meat quality of lambs fed with different roughage: concentrate ratios associated with variable physically effective neutral detergent fibre content

L. de O. Queiroz et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of roughage:concentrate ratio and particle size of physically effective neutral detergent fibre in forage on the performance, carcass traits, and meat quality of lambs. It was found that lower roughage ratios improved lamb performance and feed efficiency, but resulted in reduced concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the meat. Increased roughage and larger particle size of the neutral detergent fibre improved the concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids while decreasing the ratio of n-6 to n-3 fatty acids in the meat.

Redox Regulation of Lipid Mobilization in Adipose Tissues

Ursula Abou-Rjeileh et al.

Summary: Lipid mobilization in adipose tissues, involving lipogenesis and lipolysis, plays a crucial role in regulating systemic energy metabolism. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) produced during lipolysis require a robust antioxidant response to maintain redox signaling. This review explores the production of ROS and RNS in adipose tissue, their regulation of lipid mobilization, and the impact of antioxidants.

Effects of low and high levels of maternal nutrition consumed for the entirety of gestation on the development of muscle, adipose tissue, bone, and the organs of Wagyu cattle fetuses

Yi Zhang et al.

Summary: This study found that high energy intake during gestation significantly promotes overall growth and development in Wagyu cattle fetuses, including increased muscle, organ, and bone mass, as well as accumulation of adipose tissue. Fetuses in the high-nutrition group outperformed those in the low-nutrition group in various parameters, indicating the significant impact of maternal nutrition on the development of muscle, bone, and fat tissue in Wagyu cattle fetuses.
