Cover crops and manure from animals enriched the soil; solar-powered buildings reduced energy consumption; and hay, vegetables, milk and cheese, beef and lamb from the farm provided most of what the animals and humans consumed.
Mice raised in an enriched environment for only the first three postnatal weeks acquired a spatial navigation task (MWM) at a rate similar to that of animals enriched their entire lives, and faster than those which had never been enriched.
We've known for a long time that animals enrich our lives, and here they are being enlisted to help some of the people in greatest need.
The dramatic increase of biodiesel production by the transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats enriched the yield of glycerol and consequently reduced its market price [3, 4].
We previously demonstrated that labeling a rat with 15N for two generations had no adverse health effects and generated an entire animal highly enriched with 15N that was phenotypically normal [24].
Controlled diet studies have shown that the isotopic composition of the whole body of an animal is enriched by about 1‰ as a function of the isotopic composition of its diet.
In addition, exogenous treatment with BDNF or exposing animals to enriched housing or exercise regimens, which also increases BDNF, enhances behavioral recovery after brain injury [33], [60], [61].
For some experiments, lymphocytes from draining lymph nodes or vaginal mucosal tissue isolated from infected animals were enriched for CD4+ lymphocytes, using antibody-conjugated magnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Because TG cells were more frequent and tumor cell populations from CPA-treated animals were enriched for phenotypes associated with CoCSC, we next isolated CoCSC phenotype cells from UM-C4 tumors of vehicle- versus CPA-treated mice and asked whether these cells inherently differed in their ability to generate secondary tumors.
n-3 PUFAs have rapid effects on gene expression, the changes in mRNAs encoding several lipogenic enzymes can be detected within hours of feeding animals diets enriched in n-3 PUFA.
Bone marrow cells extracted from femur, tibia and hip of 8- to 12-week-old animals were enriched for hematopoietic progenitors using the EasySep Mouse Hematopoietic Cell Enrichment Kit (StemCell Technologies).
