Effects of fighting after grouping on plasma cortisol concentration and lymphocyte blastogenesis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells induced by mitogens in piglets

Abstract

One litter (Group A) of three unacquainted groups of littermates (4 piglets/litter), 64.0 +/- 0.8 days old, was moved to the pen of another litter (Group B) and they were housed together for 19 days after grouping (phase 1). The pigs in Group B violently attacked all the pigs in Group A for 9 hr after grouping. The remaining group was not grouped and used as controls. The plasma cortisol concentrations 1 hr after grouping were significantly higher than those 1 hr before and 24 hr after grouping, and the suppression of lymphocyte blastogenesis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) induced by mitogens was observed on 3, 8 and 19 days after grouping. After phase 1 ended, the pigs in Group A were returned to their own pen for 7 days, and then they were regrouped with the pigs in Group B and reared together for a further 14 days. Neither agonistic behavior nor change of plasma cortisol after regrouping was seen. Though the lymphocyte blastogenesis of PBMC induced by the mitogens on day 0 after regrouping was significantly lower in the pigs of Groups A and B compared to those in control pigs, a significant difference in lymphocyte blastogenesis among three groups was not seen on 7 and 14 days after regrouping. These findings i...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
