Nutrient availability and body composition of semi scavenging giribaz pigeon (Columba livia)

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate nutrient availability and body composition of semi scavenging Giribaz pigeon. The average DM, CP, CF, EE, ash, NFE, Ca and Av. P in crop and gizzard contents of male and female pigeon were 716.75, 108.50, 50.55, 15.90, 49.60, 574.25, 0.54 and 0.22 g/kg, respectively. The ME contents was 14.20 MJ/kg DM. The average live weight was 297.30g for male pigeon and 267.70g for female pigeon.

Interplay between hyperosmotic stress and protein kinase a in regulation of ciliary beat frequency in vitro

Ciliary beat frequency is an important component of mucociliary clearance. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that hyperosmotic stress reduces ciliary beat frequency and that this reduction can be influenced by protein kinase A manipulation in vitro. Using ciliated nasal epithelial cells ciliary beat frequency was measured at 32oC under different osmotic conditions with or without protein kinase A manipulation. In isoosmotic media at 32oC protein kinase A activation stabilised ciliary beat frequency near baseline and its inhibition significantly reduced ciliary beat frequency.
