Dairy cattle undergo dramatic metabolic, endocrine, physiologic and immune changes
during the peripartal period largely due to combined increases in energy requirements for …

Good health is essential for good performance and the welfare of dairy cows, and nutrition is
an important component of good health. Health is influenced by the interaction between the …

Precalving feeding level alters postcalving energy balance, dry matter intake, the liver and
adipose tissue transcriptome, hepatic lipidosis, and the risk of metabolic diseases in both …

Milk odd-and branched-chain fatty acids (OBCFA) have been suggested as potential
biomarkers for rumen function. The potential of milk OBCFA as a biomarker depends on …

Hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) activation is part of the metabolic adaptations to the
negative energy balance common to the mammalian periparturient period. This study …

In mammals, excess energy is stored primarily as triglycerides, which are mobilized when
energy demands arise and cannot be covered by feed intake. This review mainly focuses on …

Adipose tissue mobilization is a hallmark of the transition period in dairy cows. Cows overfed
energy during the dry period have higher concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) …

Recent studies demonstrating a higher incidence of metabolic disorders after calving have
challenged the management practice of increasing dietary energy density during the last~ 3 …

Nuclear receptors (NRs) represent intracellular proteins that function as a signaling network
of transcriptional factors to control genes in response to a variety of environmental, dietary …

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of energy overfeeding on gene
expression in mesenteric (MAT), omental (OAT), and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue …
