feed efficiency represents the cumulative efficiency with which the pig utilizes dietary nutrients for maintenance, lean gain and lipid accretion. It is closely linked with energy metabolism, as the oxidation of carbon-containing components in the feed drive all metabolic processes. While much is known about nutrient utilization and tissue metabolism, blending these subjects into a discussion on feed efficiency has proven to be difficult. for example, while increasing dietary energy concentration will almost certainly increase feed efficiency, the correlation between dietary energy concentration and feed efficiency is surprisingly low. This is likely due to the plethora of non-dietary factors that impact feed efficiency, such as the environment and health as well as individual variation in maintenance requirements, body composition and body weight. Nonetheless, a deeper understanding of feed efficiency is critical at many levels. To individual farms, it impacts profitability. To the pork industry, it represents its competitive position against other protein sources. To food economists, it means less demand on global feed resources. There are environmental and other societal implications as well. Interestingly, feed efficiency is not always reported simply as a ratio of body weight gain to feed consumed. This review will explain why this arithmetic calculation, as simple as it initially seems, and as universally applied as it is in science and commerce, can often be misleading due to errors inherent in recording of both weight gain and feed intake. This review discusses the importance of feed efficiency, the manner in which it can be measured and reported, its basis in biology and approaches to its improvement. It concludes with a summary of findings and recommendations for future efforts.

This article reviews a selected set of recently described pregnancy-associated proteins which possess potential for both signaling pregnancy onset and monitoring its course. These molecules are compared and contrasted with human chorionic gonadotropin, the first pregnancy-associated protein to be discovered, and the standard biomarker of pregnancy to which all others must still be referenced. Recent advances in hCG research have focused on the structural determination and diagnostic significance of the subunits and fragments of the hCG molecule, particularly in urine. An outline of the potential utility of this approach is also presented.

The plasma membrane(PM) is a complex environment consisting of [ 700 species of lipids and many different types of membrane-associating proteins. These lipids and membrane proteins are distributed heterogeneously into nanometer-sized domains, called nanoclusters. The lateral spatial segregation in the PM gives rise to different curvature and lipid composition, which determines the efficiency of effector binding and signal transmission. Here, we describe an electron microscopy(EM)-spatial mapping technique to quantify the extent of nanoclusters formation in the PM. The nano-assemblies in the PM are quantified via expressing the GfP-tagged proteins or lipid-binding domains in the cells,which are then immunolabeled with the gold nanoparticles pre-coupled to the anti-GfP antibody. The gold nanoparticles are visualized via the transmission EM at high magnification. The statistical analysis of the Ripley's K-function calculates the spatial distribution of the gold nanoparticles. Important spatial parameters, such as the extent of nanoclustering, the clustered fraction, the number of proteins per cluster, the optimal size of a nanocluster, and the number of proteins localized to the PM, can be calculated. further detailed aggregation pattern, such as the populations of monomers, dimers, trimers,and higher ordered oligomers, can also be extracted from the spatial analysis. The EM-bivariate analysis quantifies the extent of co-localization between two different components in the PM and provides key information on the protein–protein and the protein–lipid interactions over a long-distance scale from 8 to 240 nm.
