Association between radiographic equine distal phalanx characteristics and absence, presence and type of horseshoes

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Most horses are used with horseshoes additionally supported by either dorsoabaxial or dorsal clips. The effects of such clips on bone density and shape of the distal phalanx are currently unclear.

Case Report: α1-antitrypsin deficiency causing persistent pleural effusion and multilobar alveolar emphysema in a young dog

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) is a rare genetic condition in both humans and animals, caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene that lead to reduced or absent production of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT).

The ABCA1 blocking agent probucol decreases capacitation in ejaculated dog spermatozoa

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2020
Background The ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters participate in the cholesterol and phospholipid transport within and through cell membranes of many cells including spermatozoa. Cholesterol efflux is important for capacitation of spermatozoa. ABCA1
