Abstract The Nrf2/Keap1 pathway is an important signaling cascade responsible for the
resistance of oxidative damage induced by exogenous chemicals. It maintains the redox …

Dairy cattle undergo dramatic metabolic, endocrine, physiologic and immune changes
during the peripartal period largely due to combined increases in energy requirements for …

ABSTRACTS Genome-wide association studies are a powerful tool to identify genomic
regions and variants associated with phenotypes. However, only limited mutual confirmation …

The periparturient period is one of the most challenging periods in dairy cows and
encompasses the 3 wk prior to and 3 wk after parturition. The nutrient requirements of dairy …

Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a well-known phenomenon
experienced by ruminants, especially during the transition from late gestation to successful …

Mastitis, the inflammatory condition of mammary glands, has been closely associated with
immune suppression and imbalances between antioxidants and free radicals in cattle …

The first objective was to investigate the effects of feeding rumen-protected methionine
(RPM) during a heat stress (HS) challenge on abundance and phosphorylation of …

Heat stress (HS) triggers mammary gland degradation, accompanied by apoptosis and
autophagy in bovine mammary epithelial cells, negatively affecting milk performance and …

Supplementation with selenium is common for dairy cows, but the importance of selenium
source is not clear. This study aimed to compare nano-selenium (Nano-Se) and sodium …

Taurine, a β-aminosulfonic acid, exerts many cellular physiological functions. It is still
unknown whether taurine can regulate milk synthesis in the mammary gland. Therefore, in …
