0.15% GAA supplementation enhanced body weight and productive performance in heat‐stressed aged hens. Serum creatine, nitric oxide, and antioxidant capacity increased with GAA, while egg quality remained unaffected. One percent reduced protein diet with GAA maintained performance, whereas 2% reduction caused losses.

Pregnancy rate in lactating Bos indicus cows subjected to fixed-time artificial insemination and treated with different follicular growth inducers. [PDF]
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of replacing eCG with FSH or FSH/LH on the diameter of ovulatory follicles (DOF) and the pregnancy rates (PR) of lactating Bos indicus cows subjected to a synchronization of ovulation protocol ...

Neonatal exposure to xenoestrogens impairs the ovarian response to gonadotropin treatment in lambs [PDF]
Bisphenol A (BPA) and diethylstilbestrol (DES) are xenoestrogens which have been associated with altered effects on reproduction. We hypothesized that neonatal xenoestrogen exposure affects the ovarian functionality in lambs.

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

ABSTRACT Follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) plays an important role in regulating reproductive events, particularly follicular development and oocyte competence acquisition. Some studies using FSH protocols in zebu cattle were performed, but data regarding its application in the Red Sindhi breed are scarce and therefore warranted. In this context, this

Orexin A-Mediated Modulation of Reproductive Activities in Testis of Normal and Cryptorchid Dogs: Possible Model for Studying Relationships Between Energy Metabolism and Reproductive Control [PDF]
Orexin A (OxA) is a neuropeptide produced in the lateral hypothalamus that performs pleiotropic functions in different tissues, including involvement in energy homeostasis and reproductive neuroendocrine functions.

The Role of Anethole in Reproductive Physiology and In Vitro Biotechnologies—A Review
ABSTRACT In vitro reproductive biotechnologies show promise for fertility preservation but still face challenges, including oxidative stress from high oxygen tension, which impairs cell viability and development. Antioxidants have been widely explored to attenuate oxidative stress during culture.

Features of reproduction and assisted reproduction in the white (Ceratotherium simum) and black (Diceros bicornis) rhinoceros [PDF]
Despite the worldwide increase of rhinoceros calf numbers, the growth of the population of white and black rhinoceros is slowing down mainly due to anthropogenic causes, such as poaching and habitat loss.

A Requirement for Fatty Acid Oxidation in the Hormone-Induced Meiotic Maturation of Mouse Oocytes [PDF]
We have previously shown that fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is required for AMP-activated protein kinase (PRKA)-induced maturation in vitro. In the present study, we have further investigated the role of this metabolic pathway in hormone-induced meiotic ...

The increasing global prevalence of obesity, exacerbated by factors such as high‐fat diets and reduced physical activity, poses a substantial risk for lifestyle‐related diseases, particularly in postmenopausal women. Premenopausal women initially have a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease than men, but this risk increases after menopause ...
