The relationship between the variants in the 5'-untranslated regions of equine chorionic gonadotropin genes and serum equine chorionic gonadotropin levels

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2017
An experiment was conducted to study the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 5'-untranslated regions (5'-UTR) of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) genes and the serum eCG levels.SNPs in 5'-UTR of eCG genes were screened across 10 horse breeds, including 7 Chinese indigenous breeds and 3 imported breeds using iPLEX ...

Localisation of the hyaluronan receptor CD44 in porcine cumulus cells during in vivo and in vitro maturation [PDF]

, 2002
Polyspermy is fairly common during porcine in vitro fertilisation (IVF), perhaps due to incomplete in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM). Porcine cumulus cells (CCs) layered around the oocyte produce large amounts of extracellular hyaluronan (HA) when forming

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

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
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 ...

Presence of vascular endothelial growth factor during the first half of IVM improves the meiotic and developmental competence of porcine oocytes from small follicles [PDF]

, 2016
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on the meiotic and developmental competence of porcine oocytes from small follicles (SF; 0.5-3mm diameter).

A Multimodal Approach to Identify Metallothionein Metal Inducers in Nile Tilapia: Insights From Molecular Docking and Hepatocyte Exposure

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 590-600, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Many human activities contribute to the pollution of aquatic ecosystems, primarily through agricultural, industrial, mining, and domestic discharges into water bodies. Fish, being highly sensitive to environmental changes, serve as valuable models for monitoring the health of these ecosystems.
