Effect of Early Nutrient Restriction on Broiler Chickens. 1. Performance and Development of the Gastrointestinal Tract
TL;DR: Feed-restricted broilers failed to catch up to the Control birds in BW at 48 d of age but were superior (P < .01) in overall feed efficiency and no treatment effects were observed on breast meat yields or abdominal fat.

Effect of Early Nutrient Restriction on Broiler Chickens. 2. Performance and Digestive Enzyme Activities
TL;DR: It is shown that feed restriction results in transient changes in organs and activities of digestive enzymes, suggesting a functional adaptation to feed restriction.

Interfacial properties and iron binding to bacterial proteins that promote the growth of magnetite nanocrystals: X-ray reflectivity and surface spectroscopy studies
Wenjie Wang,Wei Bu,Lijun Wang,Pierre E. Palo,Surya K. Mallapragada,Marit Nilsen-Hamilton,David Vaknin +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of X-ray reflectivity from the monolayers shows that the protein conformation at the interface depends on surface pressure and on the presence of ions in the solutions, in particular of iron ions and its complexes.

Integrated Self-Assembly of the Mms6 Magnetosome Protein to Form an Iron-Responsive Structure
Shuren Feng,Lijun Wang,Pierre E. Palo,Xunpei Liu,Surya K. Mallapragada,Marit Nilsen-Hamilton +5 more
TL;DR: Self-assembly of Mms6 involves an interlaced structure of intra- and inter-molecular interactions that results in a coordinated structural change in the protein assembly with iron binding.

Influence of supplementing corn-soybean meal diets with vitamin E on performance and selected physiological traits of male turkeys
TL;DR: The overall data indicate that corn-soybean meal diets containing from 6 to 20 IU TOC/kg supported satisfactory performance and well-being of male turkeys from 1 d of age to market ages when the turkeys were free of disease, as was true in the research reported here.
