Letters In Animal Biology https://liabjournal.com/index.php/liab <p><strong><em>Letters in Animal Biology</em></strong> (<em>LIAB</em>) is an open access, peer-reviewed international journal that publishes the results of original research pertaining to animal biology. <em>LIAB</em> encompasses a broad range of topics on animal production, health, and welfare along with the fundamental aspects of genetics, physiology, nutrition, medicine, microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, reproduction, and animal products. Articles published in <em>LIAB</em> cover research topics on all domestic animals, birds, and companion animals; however, the topics on wildlife species, laboratory animals, and other aquatic species will be considered for publication as long as they have direct or indirect implications on animal production, health, or other biological aspects. <em>LIAB</em> publishes high quality research articles, reviews, short communications, and case reports.</p> en-US <p>All the papers accepted for publication in LIAB will be published as open access.</p> [email protected] (Editor-In-Chief: Dr. Jubeda Begum) [email protected] (Technology Division) Fri, 19 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 OJS 3.3.0.4 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity induced by metal-based nanoparticles in humans and animals https://liabjournal.com/index.php/liab/article/view/143 <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p>The growing interest in nanoparticles in modern research is due to their potential uses in different fields of study. Throughout human history, individuals have been exposed to environmental nanosized particles, and over the past century, these exposures have significantly risen. Through injection, ingestion, and inhalation, nanoparticles can change the material's physicochemical characteristics and improve its ability to absorb and interact with biological tissues. Nanoparticles can penetrate the cell membrane and reach up to mitochondria and nucleus, causing gene mutation and inhibiting the mitochondrial process involved in cell metabolism. The toxicity is associated with size, shape, charge, surface area, chemical composition, and other linked factors. The in vivo behavior of these nanoparticles is still a major question that needs to be resolved. The tests are performed against the new nanoparticles during the developmental process to eliminate or ameliorate identified toxic characteristics.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> Lala Rukh, Saif Ullah, Muhammad Ameer Qarib Naqvi, Imtiaz Ahmad, Muhammad Yasir Nawaz, Azhar Shabir, Muhammad Shahzad Shafiq, Faisal Hafeez, Ehsan Elahi, Arslan Muhammad Ali Khan Copyright (c) 2024 All the papers accepted for publication in LIAB will be published as open access. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0 https://liabjournal.com/index.php/liab/article/view/143 Fri, 19 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Nanotechnology application in overcoming the reproductive disorders in livestock https://liabjournal.com/index.php/liab/article/view/145 <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p>The profitability as well as productivity of livestock farming operations are significantly impacted by the reproduction rate of farm animals. Applying several techniques, such as dietary, hormonal, and biological methods together with controlling reproductive diseases, is the foundation of optimal reproductive management. These tactics ought to adhere to ethical and practical standards in addition to providing adequate reproductive results. For instance, a number of biological parameters and an animal's physiological state are primarily related to the effectiveness of biological and hormonally based reproductive tactics. Additional aspects, such as digestion and absorption, may also play a role in the effectiveness of nutritional strategies. Concerns about the overuse of antibiotics or the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria further complicate the management of illnesses connected to reproduction.The use of nanotechnology in fields such as cattle farming systems could offer novel and creative ways to address problems with reproductive control. Nanotechnology can give several pharmaceuticals (including hormones and antibiotics), molecules from biology, and nutrients with new physicochemical qualities. These include enhanced bioavailability, increased cellular absorption, regulated sustained release, and decreased toxicity as compared to conventional versions. In this review, it will be demonstrated how nanotechnology has advanced the most popular reproductive management systems while taking into account the ongoing difficulties associated with each strategy.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> Muhammad Wasif Gulzar, Muhammad Kasib Khan, Rimsha Gulzar, Muhammad Suleman, Jawad Hussain, Ahmad Hassan, Muhammad Abdullah, Ahmad Raza, Zulqarnain Haider Copyright (c) 2024 All the papers accepted for publication in LIAB will be published as open access. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0 https://liabjournal.com/index.php/liab/article/view/145 Sat, 20 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000
