Unravelling the Genetic Mechanisms of Litter Traits in a Maternal Line of Pigs
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reproductive traits related to litter size are the main indicators of reproductive efficiency in pig production and are continuously evaluated for the selection of maternal lines. Several environmental and genetic factors are involved with the development of these traits.

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Age‐associated changes in intestinal permeability and function have not been studied in domestic cats, leaving a key factor in the relationship between age and digestive health in cats unexplored. Due to factors not currently understood, mature and senior cats may experience a loss of fat and protein digestibility, along with a loss of body ...

Sleep Deprivation Alters T Cell Dynamics: Melatonin as a Restorative Agent
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sleep is an essential physiological function regulated by circadian rhythm and homeostatic regulation for emotional and physical health. Conversely, sleep deprivation (SD) is associated with weakened immune system function and overall health, which potentially leads to chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

Synergistic Impact of Sleep Disturbance and Social Isolation in Adult but Not Adolescent Female Mice
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sleep quality and social isolation are two of the numerous environmental, social and health‐related factors that contribute to major depressive disorder (MDD). In human studies, a strong association has been found between sleep quality and perceived loneliness, with each potentially exacerbating the other.

Proper detection of estrus is critical in dairy husbandry. Loss of profit due to extended calving intervals, milk loss, and veterinary costs are related to incorrect detection of estrus. Despite enormous progress in the knowledge of reproductive physiology and the development of estrous detection aids, detection of estrus remains a major problem.

Pharmacokinetics of Topical Administration of Altrenogest in Mares and Implications for Human Health
Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Altrenogest is a synthetic progestogen widely used in equine reproductive management. Adverse effects to altrenogest have been reported in people with cutaneous exposure reported as the highest exposure pathway. Despite these reports, there has been no quantitative research to determine the capacity for altrenogest to be absorbed through skin.

Effects of Electroacupuncture at ST36 on Visceral Pain and Inflammatory Markers in IBS Rats
Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.Electroacupuncture (EA) at ST36 significantly reduced visceral pain and colonic inflammation in IBS model rats. EA increased pain thresholds, lowered AWR scores, and downregulated key inflammatory mediators (IL‐1β, IL‐6, TNF‐α, TRPV1, NF‐κB). These findings highlight ST36‐targeted EA as a promising therapeutic strategy for IBS visceral hypersensitivity
