Sequence and gene expression analysis of the agouti signalling protein gene in Rex rabbits with different coat colours

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2015
Rex rabbits have a unique fur structure with a variety of different coat colours. In this study, we analysed variability in the agouti signalling protein (ASIP) gene in Rex rabbits with different coat colours (castor, red, blue, chinchilla, otter and ...

Ultrastructural features of agouti (Dasyprocta aguti) preantral follicles cryopreserved using dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glycol and propanediol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The objective was to develop an efficient protocol for cryopreservation of agouti (Dasyprocta aguti) ovarian tissue. Agouti ovarian fragments were placed, for 10 min, in a solution containing MEM and fetal bovine serum plus 1.5 M dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Influence of MC1R Gene Variants on Coat Color of Indicine Cattle Breeds

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
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

Dynamic reprogramming of DNA methylation at an epigenetically sensitive allele in mice.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2006
There is increasing evidence in both plants and animals that epigenetic marks are not always cleared between generations. Incomplete erasure at genes associated with a measurable phenotype results in unusual patterns of inheritance from one generation to

Omnivorous Behaviour of the Agouti (Dasyprocta leporina): A Neotropical Rodent with the Potential for Domestication

open access: yesScientifica, 2019
The agouti is a Neotropical rodent which is mainly utilized for its meat in rural communities. Recently, captive rearing of these animals by wildlife farmers have increased in the Neotropics.

Agouti-related protein prevents self-starvation [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Psychiatry, 2003
Food restriction leads to a paradoxical increase in physical activity and further suppression of food intake, such as observed in anorexia nervosa.(1,2) To understand this pathophysiological process, we induced physical hyperactivity and self-starvation in rats by restricting food in the presence of running wheels.

SemaGBA: A System Dynamics Model of the Semaglutide‐Responsive Gut‐Brain Axis A Model of How the Brain and Semaglutide Regulate Appetite and Weight

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 5184-5194, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Semaglutide is a GLP‐1 receptor agonist for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Its clinical effects are well established, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to use computational modelling to generate hypotheses about semaglutide's long‐term metabolic (body weight, net energy intake, blood glucose ...
