CASE STUDY: Metabolic Hormone Profiles and Evaluation of Associations of Metabolic Hormones with Body Fat and Reproductive Characteristics of Angus, Brangus, and Brahman Heifers1
|
Abstract
Metabolic hormone profiles and their associations with measures of body fat and reproduction were evaluated among Angus, Brangus, and Brahman heifers (n = 8/breed). Heifers of similar age from breeding programs in semi-arid environments were pen-fed for 10 wk prior to their yearling breeding season. At the beginning of this 10-wk period, heifers were 317 ± 8.6 d of age. Subsequently, heifers were exposed to breeding for 12 wk as they grazed the Chihnahuan Desert. Despite grea...

Disturbed Homocysteine and Methionine Cycle Intermediates S-Adenosylhomocysteine and S-Adenosylmethionine Are Related to Degree of Renal Insufficiency in Type 2 Diabetes
Clinical Chemistry
; Background: Diabetic nephropathy is a common complication in patients with type 2 diabetes that may increase atherothrombotic risk. Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) further increases the risk in those patients. We studied concentrations of total homocysteine (tHcy) and its related metabolites

Lipocalin-2 Is an Inflammatory Marker Closely Associated with Obesity, Insulin Resistance, and Hyperglycemia in Humans
Clinical Chemistry
; Background: Lipocalin-2, a 25-kDa secreted glycoprotein, is a useful biomarker for early detection of various renal injuries. Because lipocalin-2 is abundantly expressed in adipose tissue and liver, we investigated its relevance to obesity-related pathologies. Methods: We used real-time PCR and
