Mucoadhesive polymers-based film as a carrier system for sublingual delivery of glutathione
(Wiley on behalf of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, 2015-01)
The sublingual mucosa provides a promising route for the delivery ofglutathione (GSH). However, challenges are encountered in developing sublingualmucoadhesive drug delivery formulations such as: prolonging drug retention,uniform ...
Design and characterisation of a polyethylene oxide matrix with the potential use as a teat insert for prevention/treatment of bovine mastitis
(Springer US on behalf of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, 2015-01)
© 2014, American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists.This manuscript reports (for the first time) on antibiotic-free polymeric inserts for the prevention and/or treatment of bovine mastitis. Polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based ...
Multilocus sequence typing methods for the emerging Campylobacter species C. hyointestinalis, C. lanienae, C. sputorum, C. concisus, and C. curvus
(Frontiers Media, 2012-04-02)
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) systems have been reported previously for multiple food- and food animal-associated Campylobacter species (e.g., C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. fetus) to both differentiate strains ...
Isolation, identification and subtyping of Campylobacter: where to from here?
(Elsevier, 2013-10)
Campylobacter species are widely regarded as the most frequent bacterial cause of gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. Their main transmission routes are via contaminated food and water. For interventions to be effective, ...
Peripheral and gastrointestinal immune systems of healthy cattle raised outdoors at pasture or indoors on a concentrate-based ration
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2010)
Background: Despite an increasing preference of consumers for beef produced from more extensive pasture-based production systems and potential human health benefits from the consumption of such beef, data regarding the ...
Molecular neuropathology of the synapse in sheep with CLN5 Batten disease
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-11)
© 2015 Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Aims: Synapses represent a major pathological target across a broad range of neurodegenerative conditions. Recent studies addressing molecular mechanisms regulating synaptic ...
Timing of supplementation alters grazing behavior and milk production response in dairy cows
(Elsevier on behalf of the American Dairy Science Association, 2013-01)
Offering feed supplements to grazing dairy cows results in substitution of pasture; however, previous data indicate that the time at which concentrate supplements are offered might affect the level of substitution. These ...
Measuring chitinase and protease activity in cultures of fungal entomopathogens
(Humana Press imprint published by Springer Nature, 2016)
Entomopathogenic fungi produce a variety of destructive enzymes and metabolites to overcome the unique defense mechanisms of insects. In a first step, fungal chitinases and proteinases need to break down the insect’s ...
Cophylogenetic relationships of penguins and their chewing lice
(Lincoln University, 2003)
This thesis examines cophylogenetic relationships between penguins (Sphenisciformes) and their chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Ischnocera). Penguins are parasitised by 15 species of lice in two genera, Austrogoniodes ...
Haplotypic variation in the UCP1 gene is associated with milk traits in dairy cows
(American Dairy Science Association, 2016-10-03)
Uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) plays a role in the regulation of body temperature, metabolic rate and energy expenditure in animals. While variation in UCP1 and its phenotypic effect has been investigated in humans and sheep, ...
