Effects of supplemental molybdenum on animal performance, liver copper concentrations, ruminal hydrogen sulfide concentrations, and the appearance of sulfur and molybdenum toxicity in steers receiving fiber-based diets.
RCT investigating the effects of supplemental molybdenum on steers receiving high-fiber diets and high-S drinking water. The study found that molybdenum supplementation did not adequately bind excess sulfur, leading to aggravated toxic effects and negative impacts on animal performance.
Varying Dietary Levels of Molybdenum Inducing Cell Apoptosis of Spleen Under Cadmium Stress in Caprine.
The study evaluated the chronic toxic effects of cadmium and molybdenum on the spleen of Boer goats. It found increased splenic residual Mo and Cd, altered apoptosis-related gene expressions, and significant ultrastructural and histopathological changes in the spleen, indicating damage through the mitochondrial pathway.
Molybdenum balance studies in premature male infants.
Study assessed molybdenum balance in 16 premature male infants with varying formula Mo concentrations. Findings indicated sufficient resorption but minimal retention at low intakes, suggesting the need for upper limits on molybdenum concentrations in preterm infant formulas.
Concentração foliar de molibdênio e exportação de nutrientes pelo feijoeiro "Ouro Negro" em resposta à adubação foliar com molibdênio
The study evaluated the effects of molybdenum leaf application on beans, focusing on leaf and grain concentration of Mo, total N, organic N, and nitrate. Increasing doses of Mo improved N utilization, resulting in higher concentrations of total N and organic N, better plant growth, and darker green leaves. No effects were observed on nitrate concentration.
Molybdenum absorption, excretion, and retention studied with stable isotopes in young men during depletion and repletion.
Study of molybdenum absorption, excretion, and balance in four young men on a low-molybdenum diet followed by a supplemented diet. The study aimed to determine the minimum dietary molybdenum requirement, finding efficient absorption and increased urinary excretion with higher intake. Estimated minimum requirement is approximately 25 micrograms/d.
Molybdenum Content of Corn Plants Exhibiting Varying Degrees of Potassium Deficiency
The study observed that corn plants with potassium deficiency had high molybdenum content in their leaves. Applying potassium fertilizer corrected the deficiency and reduced molybdenum content, indicating an inverse relationship between potassium and molybdenum.
