A high-saturated, long-chain fatty acid ketogenic diet negatively impacts visual and motor-sensory function in a pre-clinical model of multiple sclerosis by Erin N. Capper, Erin N. Capper, Jeffrey J. Anders, Jeffrey J. Anders, Jeffrey J. Anders, Benjamin W. Elwood, Benjamin W. Elwood, Randy H. Kardon, Randy H. Kardon, Oliver W. Gramlich, Oliver W. Gramlich, Oliver W. Gramlich, Oliver W. Gramlich

“…The purpose of our study was to use functional and structural biomarkers to determine the neuroprotective effects of a KD composed of long-chain, saturated fatty acids and how the timing of its implementation impacts these biomarkers in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model.MethodsEAE was induced in 80 female C57BL/6J mice by immunization with MOG35-55 and randomly assigned to stay on the standard diet or to start the KD at one of three time points (preconditioned, prophylactic, or late). …”

Responses in growth performance, antioxidant capacity, hepatopancreas morphology, and non-specific immune function after functional protein peptide replace fishmeal in the Pacific... by Baoyang Chen, Anqi Chen, Jian Zhong, Aihua Dong, Xunyin Chen, Mengdie Chen, Rong Yao, Yongkang Chen, Wei Zhao, Jin Niu

“…The Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), an economically significant species in aquaculture, has garnered considerable attention in current research regarding the substitution of fishmeal (FM) in its feed. Functional protein peptides (FPP) comprised primarily of enzymolysis chicken chondropeptide and wall-breaking yeast were utilized in an eight-week experiment to investigate the impact of replacing FM with FPP on growth performance, antioxidant capability, non-specific immunity, and hepatopancreas morphology in L. vannamei. …”
