Estradiol Replacement Modulates Synaptic Transmission-Related Proteins in the Hippocampus of Ovariectomized Rats: An Exploratory Proteomic Approach. [PDF]
The estrogen deficiency in the hippocampus influences cognitive functions and control of food intake. Hippocampi of female rats, either control or ovariectomized, with or without estrogen replacement, were submitted to LC–MS/MS and analysis of pathway‐based functional roles of proteins affected by estrogen deficiency and replacement.

Hybridization, Maternal Inheritance, and Evolutionary Time of Divergence of Endangered Species of <i>Hypancistrus</i> (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) in the Xingu River. [PDF]
We uncover recent hybridization dynamics among three endemic Hypancistrus species from the Xingu River, including the critically endangered H. zebra. Mitogenomic analyses reveal unidirectional maternal inheritance and recent evolutionary radiation (< 0.5 Ma), explaining their retained reproductive compatibility.

Comparative Analysis of the Behavior of Llamas Housed in a Research Facility in Response to Different Environmental Enrichment Stimuli. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Environmental enrichment (EE) is essential for promoting welfare and reducing atypical behaviors in captive research animals, but we know little about effective EE strategies for llamas (Lama glama). This study evaluated the behavioral responses to EE items provided to llamas housed in a biomedical research facility in Brazil, where they are ...

Description of the Early Development of Hoplias intermedius (Günther, 1864) (Characiformes: Erythrinidae). [PDF]
This study provides the first description of the early development of Hoplias intermedius (Characiformes: Erythrinidae), from the embryonic to the juvenile stage. The morphological, meristic, and morphometric characterization contributes to understanding the ontogeny and developmental transitions of Neotropical fishes, supporting taxonomy, conservation,

Adjuvant Antibacterial Effects of Mouriri Elliptica Against Clinical Multidrug Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Strains. [PDF]
The ethanolic leaf extract of Mouriri elliptica exhibited antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against multidrug‐resistant clinical isolates and enhanced the activity of ampicillin. Its diverse chemical profile and low acute toxicity support this Cerrado species as a promising source of natural antibacterial adjuvants. ABSTRACT Bacterial resistance

B-Mode Ultrasonographic Evaluation and Reference Dimensions of the Liver and Spleen in Healthy Lactating Saanen Goats. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study aimed to establish reference ultrasonographic parameters for the liver and spleen in 34 healthy Saanen goats. The spleen was visualized between the 12th and 8th intercostal spaces (ICS), with homogeneous parenchyma and a hyperechoic capsule and splenic vein with a mean diameter of 3.3 ± 0.9 mm.

Occurrence of multiple congenital anomalies in Potamotrygon amandae (Elasmobranchii, Potamotrygoninae) embryos, including the first report of bicephaly. [PDF]
Abstract Reports of teratogenic embryos in elasmobranchs have been documented in multiple species, with proposed aetiologies including environmental disturbances, genetic mutations, predation, exposure to endocrine‐disrupting compounds and maternal stress.
