articleOpen accessHyperketonemia (HYK) is characterized by elevated levels of blood ketone bodies in dairy cows. Despite previous research on the physiological events related to HYK, associations between the rumen metagenome, metabolome, and HYK have not been well described. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare rumen metagenome and metabolome profiles of cows with naturally occurring HYK to those without HYK during the first two weeks postpartum. Blood beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentrations at…

articleCranberries contain phytochemicals with potent antioxidant properties. Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) is abundant in crucifers and possesses anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. These food additives can alter gut microbiota and improve the host's health. Microbiome and microbial metabolome interactions with the host's cells help maintain gastrointestinal (GI) tract homeostasis. Cranberry and PEITC enriched diets were fed to wild-type (WT) and Nrf2 knockout (KO) mice, including those c…
