Systematic Comparison of High‐Fat Diet– and Streptozotocin‐Induced Prediabetic Obese C57BL/6J Mouse Models: A Sex‐Based Protocol Optimization Study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Animal models of prediabetes (Pre‐DM) are essential for studying metabolic disease and testing therapies, yet high‐fat diet (HFD) and HFD‐plus‐streptozotocin (STZ) protocols vary in feeding duration, STZ dose, and diagnostic criteria and rarely account for sex.

Cytologic Characteristics of the Feline Ovary at Different Sexual Stages

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cytology is a valuable diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine, allowing rapid and minimally invasive diagnosis. However, its application in the reproductive tracts of small animals is limited, primarily used to assess mammary masses and stage the estrous cycle.

Portable Radar for Noncontact Heart Rate Monitoring and Estrus Detection in Dairy Cows

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 9, Page 1390-1403, September 2026.
This study introduces a portable radar system for real‐time monitoring of respiratory and heart rates in dairy cows. It uses millimeter‐wave Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar to perform noncontact physiological sensing, reducing behavioral disturbance. The radar system's design prioritizes portability, cost‐effectiveness, and robustness,

Gestational Feed Restriction Induces Differential Expression of Novel Long Non‐Coding RNAs in Offspring Skeletal Muscle

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate how maternal feed restriction at different gestational stages alters the expression of novel long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the skeletal muscle of goat offspring. LncRNAs are emerging as important regulators of biological processes, including myogenesis, yet their role in fetal programming remains largely ...

Nutritional Level and Type of Feed on the Reproductive Performance of Ewe and Its Effects on Offspring

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The amount and source of nutrition are important factors that influence an ewe's reproductive ability, but the effects of diet on the reproductive performance of its offspring are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of maternal nutrition (level of nutrition and source) on the reproductive performance of ewes and their female ...

Factors associated with the reproductive performance of ewes inseminated laparoscopically in England and Wales: A longitudinal study

Veterinary Record, Volume 199, Issue 1, Page e21-e29, 4/11 July 2026.
Abstract Background Laparoscopic intrauterine artificial insemination (Lap‐AI) is used in sheep genetic improvement programmes. However, the lambing rate (LR) (i.e., the proportion of inseminated ewes that lamb) following Lap‐AI is variable. Previously, one small UK study investigated factors associated with LR, but it did not adjust for dependencies ...

Local Circadian Clocks Are Desynchronized From the Central Circadian Pacemaker in a Mouse Model of Inflammatory Arthritis

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting joints marked by daily and intermittent surges in inflammatory cytokine levels that result in “flares” of disease activity. Because circadian proteins regulate inflammatory responses in arthritis, continuous behavioral‐ and tissue‐level monitoring may clarify therapeutic ...

CK2α Deficiency Drives Myocardial Fibrosis via Desmin‐Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
CK2α preserves mitochondrial homeostasis by phosphorylating Desmin to recruit Cryab, ensuring proper filament assembly. CK2α deficiency disrupts this interaction, causing mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic shifts, bioenergetic failure, and oxidative stress—ultimately establishing a pro‐fibrotic environment that drives cardiac fibrosis.

Dietary Supplementation of Rumen‐Inert Fatty Acids and Rumen‐Protected Choline Modulates the Uterine Environment of Pregnant Beef Cows

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 7, July 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes that dietary supplementation of pregnant beef cows with unsaturated fatty acids and choline can increase (green) the concentration of metabolites in the uterine luminal fluid and alter the endometrial epithelial transcriptome during the peri‐elongation period (upregulation = green and downregulation = red).

Including Natural and Synthetic PGF2α in a 11-day FGA-Based Estrus Synchronization Protocol in Sheep: an Efficacy Comparison of Dinoprost and Cloprostenol

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
There are a variety of hormonal protocols and products on the market, but it is still unclear how they will work on specific field conditions. The efficacy of using different forms of prostaglandin F2α analogues such as dinoprost and cloprostenol in a ...
