RNA sequencing-based identification of microRNAs in the antler cartilage of Gansu red deer (Cervus elaphus kansuensis) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Background The velvet antler is a complex mammalian bone organ with unique biological characteristics, such as regeneration. The rapid growth stage (RGS) is a special period in the regeneration process of velvet antler. Methods To elucidate the functions

Antiapoptotic effects of velvet antler polypeptides on damaged neurons through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020
We investigated the effects of velvet antler polypeptide on cognitive impairment and the underlying mechanisms. Hydrogen peroxide-induced cell injury was used to establish an in vitro model of SH-SY5Y cells.

Stable Isotopes of Carbon and Nitrogen in Female Qamanirjuaq Caribou (<i>Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus</i>) Antlers in Relation to Diet and Physiology. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Isotopic study of antlers is proving to be a source of annualized data on caribou diet and migration, but uncertainty remains in the magnitude and drivers of isotopic changes across individual antlers. We examined 19 female antlers from the Qamanirjuaq population to compare δ13CCol and δ15NCol between sexes and among varying reproductive statuses.

Thermography as a tool to monitor the velvet temperature and ossification stage of fallow deer (Dama dama) antlers under normal and modified photoperiodic conditions

Veterinární Medicína, 2021
An increase in testosterone levels affects the shedding of velvet which, in turn, influences the behaviour of farm-raised fallow deer bucks. Consequently, the welfare of the farmed animals can be considerably improved by controlling the timing of the ...

Gene expression of axon growth promoting factors in the deer antler. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
The annual regeneration cycle of deer (Cervidae, Artiodactyla) antlers represents a unique model of epimorphic regeneration and rapid growth in adult mammals. Regenerating antlers are innervated by trigeminal sensory axons growing through the velvet, the

Protective Effects of Velvet Antler Polypeptides on Cyclophosphamide-Induced Myelosuppression in Mouse and Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells. [PDF]

Nutrients
Background: Myelosuppression is one of the most common chemotherapy side effects, seriously threatening the quality of life of cancer patients. Studies have shown that velvet antler polypeptides (VAPs) could enhance immunity and anti-aging and also have ...

Integrative Analyses of Antler Cartilage Transcriptome and Proteome of Gansu Red Deer (Cervus elaphus kansuensis) at Different Growth Stages

Animals, 2022
The velvet antler is a unique model for cancer and regeneration research due to its periodic regeneration and rapid growth. Antler growth is mainly triggered by the growth center located in its tip, which consists of velvet skin, mesenchyme and cartilage.

Pressure Algometry Validation and Determination of Efficacy of Articaine Hydrochloride Ring Block in Antler Removal in Red Deer (Cervus elaphus)

Animals, 2020
New Zealand deer farming centres on the production of meat and velvet antler. Velvet antler removal is a painful procedure and currently, New Zealand Animal Welfare regulations dictate surgical removal of velvet antlers under lignocaine anaesthesia.
