Effects of melatonin implantation on cashmere growth, hormone concentrations and cashmere yield in cashmere-perennial-type Liaoning cashmere goats

Animal Production Science, 2016
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of melatonin implants on cashmere growth, the concentrations of plasma melatonin and prolactin and the total cashmere yield in cashmere-perennial-type Liaoning cashmere goats. Twenty female goats were assigned to two treatments (n = 10) including a control and a treatment in which melatonin (2

Fleece metrology of Liaoning cashmere goats

Small Ruminant Research, 1991
Abstract Details of cashmere and hair fibre metrology of Liaoning cashmere goats at the Gai County Cashmere Goat Farm, Liaoning Province, China, are reported. Midside fleece samples were taken from five adult bucks, five yearling bucks and five adult pregnant does (live weights 60 kg, 23 kg and 35 kg, respectively).

Molecular mechanism of dynamic regulation of the proNGF/NGF ratio in controlling hair follicle cycle transition in liaoning cashmere goats [PDF]

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
BackgroundNerve growth factor (NGF) and its precursor proNGF exert opposing biological functions in cell proliferation and apoptosis through distinct receptor systems—TrkA versus p75NTR/Sortilin. This study aimed to investigate whether dynamic changes in

Molecular Characterization of ALDH1A1 and Its Association with Secondary Hair Follicle Stem Cell Proliferation in Liaoning Cashmere Goats [PDF]

Cells
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 (ALDH1A1) is broadly expressed in mammalian tissues and is a key enzyme in retinoic acid (RA) biosynthesis, a process closely linked to hair follicle regeneration.

Effects of lncRNA MTC on protein expression in skin fibroblasts of Liaoning Cashmere goat based on iTRAQ technique

Animal Biotechnology, 2022
Existing experiments have found a new intergenic lncRNA activated by melatonin, which is called lncRNA MTC. However, the regulatory mechanism of lncRNA MTC in Liaoning Cashmere goat skin fibroblasts has not been clarified. Specific knockdown of lncRNA MTC inhibits cell proliferation and increases apoptosis.

Molecular characterization and functional insights of secondary hair follicles across the cashmere growth cycle [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Cashmere production relies on the circannual regeneration of secondary hair follicles (SHFs), yet the precise timing, morphology, and molecular regulation of the SHF cycle in cashmere goats remain incompletely defined.
