The adiponectin receptor agonist, AdipoRon, promotes reproductive hormone secretion and gonadal development via the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in chickens

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2023
: Adiponectin is a key hormone secreted by fat tissues that has multiple biological functions, including regulating the energy balance and reproductive system by binding to its receptors AdipoR1 and AdipoR2.

On Hemangioblasts in Chicken

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
Hemangioblasts are bi-potential precursors for blood and endothelial cells (BCs and ECs). Existence of the hemangioblast in vivo by its strict definition, i.e. a clonal precursor giving rise to these two cell types after division, is still debated. Using a combination of mitotic figure analysis, cell labeling and long-term cell tracing, we show that ...
