Mutations in Homocysteine Metabolism Genes Increase Keratin N-Homocysteinylation and Damage in Mice by Kamila Borowczyk, Jacek Wróblewski, Joanna Suliburska, Noriyuki Akahoshi, Isao Ishii, Hieronim Jakubowski

“…These findings provide evidence that pelage keratin is N-homocysteinylated in vivo in mammals and birds, and that this process causes keratin damage, manifested by a reduced solubility.…”

Drosophila melanogaster as an alternative animal model in fat metabolism studies by Dilan de Silva, Mangala Gunatilake

“…It is discovered that Drosophila accommodates a range of cell types and organs which entail lipid metabolism and related energy homeostasis similar to those of mammals. Fat storage in Drosophila occurs in the form of lipid droplets carrying cholesterol and triacylglycerol which are accumulated primarily in the fat body – the analogous Drosophila organ to mammalian adipose tissue. …”

Amphibian newts as experimental models for studying weight gain after castration by Mai Takehara, Mitsuki Kyakuno, Kazuko Okamoto, Ichiro Tazawa, Nobuaki Furuno, Megumi Furumitsu, Kazuyoshi Ukena, Takuya Imamura, Takashi Takeuchi, Toshinori Hayashi

“…Post-castration obesity can also be problematic for the health of companion animals, including non-mammals. In order to understand the mechanism of post-castration obesity in vertebrates other than mammals, experimental models are required. …”

Investigating the diet of Mesolithic groups in the Southern Alps: An attempt using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses by Valentina Gazzoni, Gwenaëlle Goude, Giampaolo Dalmeri, Antonio Guerreschi, Elisabetta Mottes, Franco Nicolis, Fabrizio Antonioli, Federica Fontana

“…The isotopic data and the Bayesian model developed from the latter and from data in the literature indicate a very significant proportion of terrestrial resources in the protein fraction of the human diet, particularly from red deer compared to other ungulates and potentially from freshwater fish and small mammals. These results add to the information provided by zooarchaeological studies and reopen the debate on the role of secondary resources such as chamois, ibex, small mammals and fish, such as pike, in the diet of these mobile human societies. …”

Determination of embryotoxic dose limit of detomidine with in-ovo model by Rahmi Canbar, Muhittin Uslu, Öznur Tufan, Enver Yazar

“…<p> <b>Conclusion:</b> Considering that the used smallest dose is 7.8 times higher than the highest recommended dose for the target species, recommended dose can be accepted safe in pregnant mammals for embryonic death. However, considering that the dose should be 100 times lower as a safety factor for mammals, it should be taken into account that negativities may also be observed.…”
