Development of a Tumor‐Bearing Animal Model to Evaluate Chemotherapy Efficacy and Toxicity
ABSTRACT Background The value of cancer therapies lies in enhancing anti‐tumor efficacy while minimizing toxicity. However, these aspects are rarely studied together, often due to the challenges of modelling both within the same framework. In preclinical settings, rat models like the Dark Agouti Mammary Adenocarcinoma (DAMA) model are used to evaluate ...

Ovarian hormones and high‐fat diet duration distinctively modulate hypothalamic chemokine profile
Abstract Excessive intake of saturated fats triggers inflammation in the hypothalamus, a key regulator of energy balance. In the chronic phase of this inflammatory response, bone marrow‐derived and lymphoid cells are chemoattracted to this region, partially mitigating high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced metabolic impairments.

Influence of MC1R Gene Variants on Coat Color of Indicine Cattle Breeds
ABSTRACT Indicine cattle display a broad range of coat colors, representing a relevant and breed‐defining trait required for registration in breeder association. Among the genes involved in pigmentation, MC1R stands out for modulating the synthesis of melanin‐related proteins and remains poorly explored in indicine cattle breeds. Therefore, we aimed to

The coronary arteries of the agouti (Agouti paca, Linnaeus, 1766)
The present study aimed to describe the coronary arteries in the agouti. Twelve hearts set, in a 10% formaldehyde aqueous solution, were used. The presence of left and right coronary arteries was observed in all hearts. The fi rst arose from the aorta, between the left auricle and the pulmonary trunk, and gave off into a circumfl ex branch, whichever ...

Placentation in the paca (Agouti paca L).
The paca is a South American rodent with potential as a commercial food animal. We examined paca placenta as part of a wider effort to understand the reproductive biology of this species.Thirteen specimens between midgestation and term of pregnancy were studied by light and transmission electron microscopy.The placenta is divided into several lobes ...
