3 citations
,
September 1975 in “Journal of animal science/Journal of animal science ... and ASAS reference compendium” This study found that pigs fed a fat-free diet had significantly less body dry matter and ether extract compared to those consuming a diet with corn oil, although weight gain was unaffected by the fat content.
4 citations
,
January 2025 in “The Journal of Cell Biology” This study found that deleting ceramide synthase 4 in skin epidermis stem cells disrupts hair follicle and skin barrier function, leading to immune responses similar to atopic dermatitis, due to imbalances in lipid composition affecting differentiation.
December 2023 in “Frontiers in microbiology” This study reported that mannan oligosaccharides improved the fur quality, immune response, antioxidant status, and gut microbiota of fur-growing raccoon dogs, suggesting they could potentially replace antibiotics in their diet.
21 citations
