The Effect of Lipemia on Insulin and Adiponectin Measurement in Equine Blood Samples
ABSTRACT Background Lipemia is a common comorbidity in horses with obesity or equine metabolic syndrome, but the impact of lipemia on the measurement of insulin and adiponectin has not been evaluated. Objective To evaluate endogenous and exogenous lipemic interference with equine insulin and adiponectin measurements via several commercial assays ...

Gonorrhea is one of the most common, but still hidden and insidious, sexually transmitted diseases caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococci). However, the diagnosis and treatment of gonorrhea are hampered by antigenic variability among gonococci, the ...

ABSTRACT Background Total adiponectin (TA) is a marker of metabolic health in equids, with values below a critical decision point of < 7.9 μg/mL conferring increased risk of laminitis. Objectives To evaluate an IT assay to measure serum [TA] in equids and to assess its correlation with [high molecular weight adiponectin] (HMWA) measured by ELISA ...

Clinically relevant intra‐articular corticosteroid doses impair equine osteoclast function in vitro
Abstract Objective To assess the effects of clinically relevant doses of commonly employed intra‐articular corticosteroids—specifically, triamcinolone acetonide (TCA), methylprednisolone acetate (MPA), and combination of betamethasone acetate and betamethasone sodium phosphate (BM)—on equine osteoclasts.

Abstract Bed rest accelerates bone loss and may exacerbate skeletal fragility. This study examined the effects of 14 days of head‐down tilt bed rest (HDBR) with or without exercise, and subsequent recovery, on bone turnover, density and structure in older adults. Twenty‐two healthy older adults (55–65 years) completed the HDBR protocol.

ABSTRACT Trazodone is an antidepressant approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder and is associated with a low incidence of sexual dysfunction. However, its effects on male reproductive health are not yet fully understood. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of repeated trazodone administration on reproductive parameters ...

From Payload‐First Toward Dual‐Mechanism Antibody–Drug Conjugates
Conjugation converts potent antibodies into underexposed carriers. This perspective defines the antibody exposure deficit and maps a mechanism‐first design space from payload‐first to antibody‐first ADC architectures, integrating DAR, linker chemistry, and Fc engineering to guide rational design of constructs that balance targeted cytotoxicity with ...
