Resistin in Dairy Cows: Plasma Concentrations during Early Lactation, Expression and Potential Role in Adipose Tissue by Maxime Reverchon (544106)

“…<div><p>Resistin is an adipokine that has been implicated in energy metabolism regulation in rodents but has been little studied in dairy cows. We determined plasma resistin concentrations in early lactation in dairy cows and investigated the levels of resistin mRNA and protein in adipose tissue and the phosphorylation of several components of insulin signaling pathways one week post partum (1 WPP) and at five months of gestation (5 MG). …”

Chronic High Fructose Intake Reduces Serum 1,25 (OH)₂D₃ Levels in Calcium-Sufficient Rodents by Veronique Douard (549533)
