Dried blood spot analysis in antidoping: Technical challenges, analytical advances, and future perspectives

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Dried blood spot (DBS) analysis enables minimally invasive blood collection with strong analyte stability and simplified logistics, supporting anti‐doping applications beyond traditional matrices. Recent advances address hematocrit, volume variability, and matrix effects while expanding coverage to steroid esters, World Anti‐Doping Agency‐listed ...

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

Use of equine chorionic gonadotropin in lactating dairy cattle: a rapid review

New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 2022
To use an evidence-based approach to evaluate the available research data on the efficacy of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) to improve reproductive performance of dairy cows when added to oestrus synchronisation programmes for the treatment of cows not detected in oestrus.

Women with epilepsy: Evidence‐based counseling across the lifespan

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Women with epilepsy (WWE) encounter distinct and evolving challenges across the lifespan that require clinical management extending beyond seizure control alone. Although awareness of sex‐specific aspects of epilepsy has increased, important gaps remain in their integration into routine care.

Transcriptomic signatures reveal systemic adaptations and immune modulation in response to training and competitive racing in horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to physical exertion and racing stress in horses remain incompletely understood. Peripheral blood transcriptomics offers a minimally invasive method to monitor systemic responses to exercise and identify biomarkers of adaptation or overload. Objectives To evaluate transcriptomic changes

Age, embryo donor status, and insemination with chilled semen all predispose to persistent breeding‐induced endometritis in warmblood mares

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Persistent breeding‐induced endometritis (PBIE) is a common reason for mares failing to establish pregnancy. Objective To examine the hypothesis that advancing mare age and embryo donor status predispose to PBIE and compromise fertility.

Induction of follicular luteinization by equine chorionic gonadotropin in cyclic guinea pigs [PDF]

Journal of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE B, 2015
The effects of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) on follicular development and ovulation in cyclic guinea pigs were investigated by histological and immunohistochemical analyses. Three groups of guinea pigs (n=12) were administrated subcutaneously with saline, 20 or 50 IU of eCG, respectively, on cyclic Day 12 (Day 1=vaginal openings).

Evaluation of Potential Hormonal Activities of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ashwagandha is a widely used herb in traditional medicine systems, particularly Ayurveda. Despite its extensive tradition, growing concerns regarding its potential endocrinological effects have prompted scientific scrutiny. This review systematically evaluates the current preclinical, clinical, and case study evidence concerning AS's effects ...

Lack of associations between female hormone levels and visuospatial working memory, divided attention and cognitive bias across two consecutive menstrual cycles [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Interpretation of observational studies on associations between prefrontal cognitive functioning and hormone levels across the female menstrual cycle is complicated due to small sample sizes and poor replicability. Methods: This observational
