  12. [ASAP] Zearalenone-Promoted Follicle Growth through Modulation of Wnt-1/ß-Catenin Signaling Pathway and Expression of Estrogen Receptor Genes in Ovaries of Postweaning Piglets

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Feedstuffs are severely contaminated by zearalenone (ZEA) worldwide. A specific dietary level of ZEA could cause malformations of the reproductive organs of sows, false estrus, decreased litter size, and abortion. However, the underlying mechanisms are still not clear. The objectives of the present study were to assess the effects of ZEA on morphology, distribution, and expression of estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ) in the ovaries of postweaning piglets.

  25. Significance of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) Heat-Labile Toxin (LT) Enzymatic Subunit Epitopes in LT Enterotoxicity and Immunogenicity [Biotechnology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains producing heat-labile toxin (LT) and/or heat-stable toxin (STa) are a top cause of children's diarrhea and travelers' diarrhea. Holotoxin-structured GM1-binding LT is a strong immunogen and an effective adjuvant, and can serve a carrier or a platform for multivalent vaccine development.
