Genetic Parameters and Sex‐Specific Architecture of Observed and Latent Fertility Phenotypes in a Closed Breeding Nucleus of an Arctic Salmonid

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Successful reproduction is a key factor for efficient breeding schemes and sustainable animal farming. Aquaculture breeding programs rely heavily on small fractions of selected breeders to yield large production stocks, given the high fecundity typically observed in these species. In Sweden, Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is a salmonid with

The Effect of Cholesterol‐Loaded Cyclodextrin and Resveratrol Compounds on Post‐Thawing Quality of Ram Semen

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Ram sperm are more vulnerable to freezing than those of most other farm animals. During sperm freezing, the cell membrane loses some of its cholesterol, which regulates signalling mechanisms and prevents premature capacitation.

Effects of Resveratrol-Loaded Cyclodextrin on the Quality Characteristics of Ram Spermatozoa Following Cryopreservation

Animals
This study investigated the effects of pure and methyl-β-cyclodextrin loaded forms of resveratrol (10 µg/mL, 20 µg/mL, and 40 µg/mL) on ram sperm functions post-thawing. Semen samples were pooled and divided into ten groups: Control, RES10, RES20, RES40,

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...
