Morphometric description of the Boric Arabian horse mare families
AgroReSThe Boric Arabian horse has a long tradition of breeding in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) dating back to 1884. The Borike Stud Farm, which ceased operations in 2018, played a significant role in breeding this population of horses. Today, the Boric Arabian horse is preserved in BiH thanks to private breeding. The aim of this research was

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals that Urolithin A (UA) counteracts alcohol‐induced cognitive and social dysfunction (AICSD) via a gut microbiome‐dependent mechanism. UA‐enriched Bacteroids sartorii and Parabacteroids distasonis elevate anandamide (AEA), which activates the CB1R‐DRD2‐Rap1 signaling cascade to drive synaptic repair and reduce neuroinflammation ...
