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.

The variability of giraffe skull morphology

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
What does giraffe skull shape tell us about their development and evolution? Abstract Giraffe (Giraffa spp.) are among the most unique and charismatic extant animals, largely due to their distinct morphology. The evolutionary and developmental origin of ossicones is a key factor in giraffid biology, yet other features building their characteristic head

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.

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

Distinct Effects of Nonselective Rho‐Kinase Inhibitor Fasudil and Selective Rho‐Kinase 2 Inhibitor KD025 on Serotonin and Dopamine Release in the Nucleus Accumbens of Mice

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 46, Issue 2, June 2026.
Fasudil perfusion in the NAc increased basal extracellular serotonin but not dopamine, and suppressed depolarization‐evoked release of both. In contrast, KD025 showed minimal effects on basal levels and selectively suppressed evoked serotonin release. ABSTRACT Recent studies have indicated that the Rho GTPase family and Rho‐kinases are associated with ...
