Dynamic changes of extracellular vesicles during zebrafish organogenesis by Linda-Marie Mulzer, Tim Felger, Luis E. Muñoz, Gesa Engl, Heiko Reutter, Mario Schiffer, Leila Pourtalebi Jahromi, Fanni Annamária Boros, Friederike Zunke, Philipp Arnold, Alina C. Hilger

“…Additionally, sEV size also increased significantly, with a maximum diameter at 72 hpf. Since most organs are formed during the first 72 hpf and from then on mainly maturation and growth occur, the elevated number and larger size before 72 hpf suggests an important role of EVs during zebrafish organogenesis. …”

Digestion, faeces microbiome, and selected blood parameters in dogs fed extruded food containing Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) meal by Kanber Kara, Oğuzhan Kahraman, Fatma İnal, Zekeriya Safa İnanç, Sena Yilmaz Öztaş, M. Selçuk Alataş, Ibrar Ahmed

“…Then, in vivo feeding in dogs was performed to determine preference test, digestion, blood variables and faecal microbiome, faecal score and organic acids. The HI larva meal up to 15% in dog food linearly increased the molarities of acetic (AA) and propionic (PA) acids in faeces (p <.05), but linearly decreased the molarities of butyric (BA) and valeric (VA) acids (p < 0.05). …”
