Balchem Corporation has announced the recipient of its Real Science Initiative research grant.
The successful proposal was submitted by Dr. Heather White (Department of Dairy Science) and Dr. Dale Schoeller (Department of Nutritional Sciences) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Their research project will investigate methyl metabolism in the bovine liver and will seek to discover pioneering knowledge of the effects of methyl compounds on hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism.
