A meta-analysis on the relationship between goose age and egg weight
Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 2021 SUMMARY: Although many studies have attempted to determine the effect of goose age on egg weight, the relationship remains unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis of the relevant literature in an attempt to provide clarity on this question.

G protein-coupled receptor kinase-2 (GRK-2) regulates serotonin metabolism through the monoamine oxidase AMX-2 in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
, 2017 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate many animal behaviors. GPCR signaling is mediated by agonist-promoted interactions of GPCRs with heterotrimeric G proteins, GPCR kinases (GRKs), and arrestins.

Genome-wide association studies for small intestine length in an F2 population of chickens
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2018 Small intestine length is an important physiological index that is effected by nutrient intake and thus plays roles in growth and egg-laying in chickens.

WormBook, 2005 C. elegans hermaphrodites are self-fertile, and their rate and temporal pattern of egg-laying are modulated by diverse environmental cues. Egg-laying behavior has served as an important phenotypic assay for the genetic dissection of neuronal signal transduction mechanisms. This chapter reviews our current understanding of the neuronal and neurochemical

Melatonin Improves Laying Performance by Enhancing Intestinal Amino Acids Transport in Hens
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 The high concentration of melatonin (MEL) in the intestinal mucosa suggests that it has a special physiological function in intestine. In hens, previous studies have shown that MEL treatment promoted egg-laying performance.

Estimation of calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide-α in bone calcification in quail during laying period [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary SciencesMaintaining the balance of calcium, phosphorus, and their regulating hormones is essential in laying hens to preserve the quality of the eggs and the framework. However, the physiological regulation of these systems is quite specific.
