RIVERINE SEDIMENT RESPONSE TO DEFORESTATION IN THE AMAZON BASIN

Riverine sediment response to deforestation in the Amazon basin

The Amazon experiences thousands of square kilometers of deforestation annually with recent rates increasing to levels unseen since the late 2000s.These increased rates of deforestation within the basin have led to changes in sediment concentration within its river systems, with potential impacts on ecological functioning, freshwater availability,

Selenium Yeast Alleviates Ochratoxin A-Induced Hepatotoxicity via Modulation of the PI3K/AKT and Nrf2/Keap1 Signaling Pathways in Chickens

The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of selenium yeast (Se-Y) against hepatotoxicity Cord Trousers induced by ochratoxin A (OTA).The OTA-induced liver injury model was established in chickens by daily oral gavage of 50 µg/kg OTA for 21 days.Serum biochemistry analysis, antioxidant analysis, as well as the qRT-PCR and
