In the Pursuit of Poultry: β-Phenylethylamine and Ethyl Acetoacetate as Antimicrobials on Chicken
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
This research examines the effect of β-phenylethylamine (PEA), a natural trace amine commonly found in food, and ethyl acetoacetate (EAA), an FDA approved flavoring agent and food additive, as novel antimicrobials on ...
The Link Between Gut Microbiota Metabolism and Host Gluconeogenesis by Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The gut microbiota (GM) plays a beneficial role in host metabolism. In mammals, the GM ferments dietary fiber into short chain fatty acids (SCFA), like propionate, that improves glucose metabolism. Rats fed a propionate ...
Effects of Intensive Agricultural Management Practices on Soil Microbial Assembly and Recruitment
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Soil microbial communities play an important role in ecosystems in various ways to promote healthy and fertile soil. However, intensive agricultural practices with excessive tillage and fertilizer applications can affect ...
Sexual Dimorphisms in the Adipose Biology of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Deficient Mice
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Both VIP and PACAP deficient mice display impaired fat storage, but only the molecular adipose characteristics of PACAP KO mice are known. While mice deficient in these peptides are lean, supplementation could promote ...
