Villorita cyprinoides is traditional seafood in the coastal regions of Arabian Sea. Bioactivity-guided purification of ethyl acetate:methanol extract of V. cyprinoides resulted in the identification of two O-spirocyclic ether derivatives (1-2) along ...
BACKGROUND: Surgical site infections (SSIs) pose a significant health and financial burden. A key aspect of appropriate prophylaxis is the administration of antibiotics intravenously (IV). However, subcutaneous administration of antibiotics is not we...
Excessive energy intake may evoke complex biochemical processes characterized by inflammation, oxidative stress, and impairment of mitochondrial function that represent the main factors underlying noncommunicable diseases. Because cow milk is widely ...
Dietary Zn and heat stress alter gut integrity in monogastric animals. However, effects of Zn on mammary epithelial integrity in heat-stressed lactating dairy cows have not been studied. Multiparous lactating Holstein cows (n = 72) were randomly assi...
