Delaying Motherhood—An Increasingly Common but Risky Trend in High‐Income Countries

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives Maternal age at first birth is increasing in most high‐income countries. The associations between advanced maternal age and perinatal complications, as well as newborn parameters, were analyzed using a dataset of 6831 singleton births among first‐time mothers taking place in Vienna, Austria, between 2010 and 2019.

Molecular and Serological Investigation of Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV‐1) and Type 4 (EHV‐4) in Horses In Ibagué, Tolima

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine International, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
EHV‐1 is one of the most prevalent viral pathogens in horses; however, its prevalence is not well defined by cross‐reactions of serological tests. Thus, this study aims to determine EHV‐1/‐4 prevalence in Colombian creole horses from Ibagué, Tolima, using molecular techniques, as well as to determine possible risk factors associated with viral ...

Cross‐Species Insights into Trophoblast Invasion During Placentation Governed by Immune‐Featured Trophoblast Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 42, November 13, 2024.
Through cross‐species comparison, this study reveals the presence of a dual‐featured type of immune‐featured trophoblast (iTrophoblast) in invasive placentas, which regulates trophoblast invasion during placentation. Immature iTrophoblasts gradually transform into functional maturity with development, and their transformation disorder leads to the ...

Selection of the most informative wavenumbers to improve prediction accuracy of milk fatty acid profile based on milk mid‐infrared spectra data

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 417-430, November 2024.
Milk fatty acids benefit human health and are directly related to milk quality. However, there is difficulty in collecting data for prediction based on milk mid‐infrared spectra. Noisy and redundant wavenumbers in mid‐infrared spectra usually lead to low robustness and interpretability of the prediction models, especially in small spectra data ...

Protective Effects of Syringic Acid Against Oxidative Damage, Apoptosis, Autophagy, Inflammation, Testicular Histopathologic Disorders, and Impaired Sperm Quality in the Testicular Tissue of Rats Induced by Mercuric Chloride

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 4803-4814, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Mercury (Hg) is one of the most toxic heavy metals that damage testicular tissue. Mercury chloride (HgCl2) is one of the most toxic forms of mercury that can easily cross biological membranes. Syringic acid (SA) is a natural flavonoid found in many vegetables and fruits.

Evidence‐based practice in canine artificial insemination

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, Volume 102, Issue 8, Page 377-384, August 2024.
A number of methods are currently used to predict the optimal date of insemination of the breeding bitch, particularly with the use of frozen–thawed canine semen which has a far shorter lifespan than fresh semen. Aside from confirming cytological oestrus, vaginal cytology is of no assistance in predicting the most fertile day(s) in a bitch; however, a ...

Proteomics is advancing the understanding of stallion sperm biology

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, Volume 24, Issue 14, July 2024.
Abstract The mammalian ejaculate is very well suited to proteomics studies. As such, research concerning sperm proteomics is offering a huge amount of new information on the biology of spermatozoa. Among domestic animals, horses represent a species of special interest, in which reproductive technologies and a sizeable market of genetic material have ...

A de novo mutation in CACNA1A is associated with autosomal dominant bovine familial convulsions and ataxia in Angus cattle

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 344-351, June 2024.
Abstract Bovine familial convulsions and ataxia (BFCA) is considered an autosomal dominant syndrome with incomplete penetrance. Nine Angus calves from the same herd were diagnosed with BFCA within days of birth. Necropsy revealed cerebellar and spinal cord lesions associated with the condition. Parentage testing confirmed that all affected calves had a

Cryopreservation of equine spermatozoa reduces plasma membrane integrity and phospholipase C zeta 1 content as associated with oocyte activation

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 918-931, May 2024.
Abstract Background Phospholipase C zeta (PLCZ1) is considered the major sperm‐borne oocyte activation factor. Cryopreserved stallion spermatozoa are commonly used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). However, plasma membrane damage and protein modifications caused by cryopreservation could impair sperm structure and function, leading to a ...
