Summary: The early nutritional environment of female animals has an impact on their lactating ability as adults, with the level of colostrum intake affecting mammary development and DNA synthetic rate. Higher levels of lysine in the perinatal period favored cell division over differentiation in the mammary glands of neonatal pigs. Further research is required to explore these relationships.

Summary: This article reviews recent advances in understanding molecular events underlying mammalian organ system development, focusing on genes and pathways involved in mammary gland development and the use of single-cell genomics and 3D organoid cultures as tools to study these processes. Additionally, it highlights the potential of this research in predicting breast cancer risk and developing new therapies.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the effect of sustained hyperprolactinemia during the late pregnancy on the global transcriptome in the mammary tissue of gilts and identify the molecular pathways involved in triggering premature mammary involution. The results showed that in the absence of suckling piglets, sustained hyperprolactinemia sends conflicting pro-survival and cell death signals to mammary epithelial cells, resulting in a mammary gland that can simultaneously synthesize milk proteins and initiate mammary involution.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of dietary protein/carbohydrate ratio and feeding frequency on the growth, metabolism, and economic efficiency of gilthead seabream juveniles. The results showed that feeding a diet with a protein/carbohydrate ratio of 40%/20% twice a day was the most suitable strategy, as it improved fish growth and economic efficiency.

Summary: This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of zearalenone on ovarian development in prepubertal gilts. The results showed that zearalenone promoted the development of ovaries and follicles through the growth hormone axis, and exerted reproductive toxicity by increasing the expression levels of growth hormone receptor and related proteins.

Summary: The study aimed to enhance hydrogen (H2) production by the halotolerant cyanobacterium Aphanothece halophytica through nutrient deprivation. Nitrogen and potassium deprivation induced dark fermentative H2 production, while sulfur and phosphorus deprivation had no effect. Deprivation of nitrogen and potassium resulted in the highest H2 production due to the stimulation of hydrogenase activity and the activation of glycogen biosynthesis genes.

Summary: Studies on pig models have shown that dietary valine supplementation can improve milk fat synthesis by increasing milk fat concentration, saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Proteomic analysis of mammary tissue in the high valine group revealed differential expression of proteins related to milk fat synthesis pathways.

Summary: A case-control study found no significant association between lactose intolerance and growth in children. However, the results regarding the anthropometric profile of the lactose intolerance group should be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size. Larger-scale studies in the pediatric population are needed to better understand the association of lactose intolerance with anthropometric and metabolic profiles.
