Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Predicting male fertility in farm animals remains a challenge. Seminal plasma (SP) contains a high amount of heterogeneous seminal extracellular vesicles (sEVs), believed involved in reproductive processes and maybe key to understanding male fertility.

Gonadal hormones, but not sex, affect the acquisition and maintenance of a Go/No-Go odor discrimination task in mice [PDF]
, 2018 In mice, olfaction is crucial for identifying social odors (pheromones) that signal the presence of suitable mates. We used a custom-built olfactometer and a thirst-motivated olfactory discrimination Go/No-Go (GNG) task to ask whether discrimination of ...

Mouse Estrous Cycle Identification Tool and Images
PLoS ONE, 2012 The efficiency of producing timed pregnant or pseudopregnant mice can be increased by identifying those in proestrus or estrus. Visual observation of the vagina is the quickest method, requires no special equipment, and is best used when only proestrus or estrus stages need to be identified.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intranasal insulin in a rat brain
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Purpose Understanding of the insulin‐mediated effects on signalling and metabolism is important not only for fundamental knowledge of insulin's action in the brain but also for elucidating the mechanism of therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative disorders with underlying brain metabolic dysfunction.

Temporal and spatial expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases 1 and 2 (TIMP-1 and -2) in the bovine corpus luteum [PDF]
, 2003 The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their endogenous inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), may mediate the dramatic structural and functional changes in the corpus luteum (CL) over the course of its life span.

Close encounters of the friendly kind: pacific between‐group interactions in primates
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While intergroup conflict features prominently in the behavioural ecology literature, its antonym, intergroup peace, has been a rather neglected phenomenon until recently. Neighbourly relations and affiliative interactions are far from uncommon.

The spatiotemporal expression pattern of the bone morphogenetic protein family in rat ovary cell types during the estrous cycle. [PDF]
, 2003 In the mammalian ovary, great interest in the expression and function of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family has been recently generated from evidence of their critical role in determining folliculogenesis and female fertility.

Estrous cycle influences excitatory amino acid transport and visceral pain sensitivity in the rat: Effects of early-life stress [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Early-life stress (ELS) is a recognized risk factor for chronic pain disorders, and females appear to be more sensitive to the negative effects of stress.
