Acute or chronic liver damage can result in Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), a potentially fatal neuropsychiatric condition that leads to cerebral and neurological alterations. Dapagliflozin (DAPA), an orally active Sodium/Glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor with long duration of action. The study aim was to evaluate the potential protective impact of DAPA against HE caused by Thioacetamide (TAA) in rats. HE was achieved via a singl...

An effective tool for discovering differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to late blight (LB) resistance is the transcriptome sequencing of potatoes. The aim of this study was to compare transcriptome expression analysis in incompatible and compatible interactions via high-throughput sequencing. Furthermore, we performed a bioinformatics analysis to screen a large number of specific transcription factors (TFs) and DEGs l...

This study evaluated the effects of prickly pear ( Opuntia ficus-indica ) peel (PPP) on salinity tolerance, growth, feed utilization, digestive enzymes, antioxidant capacity, and immunity of Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ). PPP was incorporated into four iso-nitrogenous (280 g kg −1 protein) and iso-energetic (18.62 MJ kg −1 ) diets at 0 (PPP0), 1 (PPP1), 2 (PPP2), and 4 (PPP4) g kg −1 . Fish (9.69 ± 0.2 g) (mean ± SD)...
