Milk protein yield responses to changes in the profile of essential amino acids absorbed by
the gastrointestinal tract or circulating in blood plasma do not follow the classic limiting …

Considerable progress has been made in understanding the physiological basis for
variation in the life‐history patterns of animals, particularly with regard to the roles of …

Elevated concentrations of non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) induced by negative energy
balance (NEB) during the transition period of dairy cows is known to be toxic for multiple …

The mammary gland undergoes a spectacular series of changes during its development and
maintains a remarkable capacity to remodel and regenerate during progression through the …

Background In dairy cows, the periparturient phase is a stressful period, which is commonly
associated with strong metabolic adaptations and the development of pathophysiologic …

This study presents a dynamic characterization of the sheep milk transcriptome aiming at
achieving a better understanding of the sheep lactating mammary gland. Transcriptome …

The initiation and maintenance of lactation are complex phenomena governed by
biochemical and endocrine processes in the mammary gland (MG). Although DNA-based …

Fatty acids play important roles in the regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-
induced apoptosis in different cells. Currently, the effects of fatty acids on bovine mammary …

Ketosis is a common metabolic disorder in high-yielding cows and is characterized by high
concentrations of BHB and free fatty acids (FFA). High concentrations of FFA induce …

Recent studies indicated that intramammary administration of active vitamin D3 hormone (1,
