Ethanolamine plasmalogens increased LH pulse frequency. GPR61 was expressed in GnRH neurons and gonadotrophs, suggesting a role in neuroendocrine regulation. Ethanolamine plasmalogens (EPls), but not choline plasmalogens (CPls), may act via GPR61 expressed in GnRH neurons in the preoptic area and in anterior pituitary gonadotrophs.

Limited Lifetime Costs of Inbreeding in a Large Wild Population of Superb Fairy‐Wrens
ABSTRACT Inbreeding depression can have major negative effects on both individual fitness and population performance. The impact of inbreeding depression in wild populations remains poorly understood, and our knowledge is primarily based on estimations in insular populations with limited dispersal, which has been predicted to enhance the capacity for ...

Seminal Extracellular Vesicles as Molecular Modulators of Male Reproductive Function
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (sEVs) contained in seminal plasma (SP) maintain, in concert with free SP‐components (proteins, hormones, cytokines, metabolites and antioxidants) under an endocrine umbrella the functional in vivo homeostasis of ejaculated spermatozoa. The sEVs define a generic mixture of nanovesicles delivered by male epithelial cells,

ABSTRACT Pregnancy loss (PL) remains a major limitation to reproductive efficiency in livestock, with a substantial proportion originating during early embryo development, particularly between blastocyst hatching and implantation. This developmental window encompasses complex processes of lineage differentiation and morphogenesis. Accumulating evidence

ABSTRACT While lipophilic antioxidants such as flavonols may improve the preservation capacity of sperm at 17°C, their low stability and bioavailability can reduce their biological effectiveness. Encapsulation strategies have been proposed to improve the delivery and cellular availability of hydrophobic antioxidants.

Recent Advances and Emerging Applications in Embryo Vitrification for Livestock
ABSTRACT Vitrification has progressively supplanted conventional slow freezing as the method of choice for embryo cryopreservation in both human medicine and animal production, particularly for in vitro‐produced embryos and for species or developmental stages highly sensitive to conventional freezing.

Sperm Recovery and Evaluation in Domestic Species: Challenges and Current Practices
ABSTRACT Semen collection is a key step in the development of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) in domestic mammals, as the collection method determines the functionality and fertility of the sperm. The artificial vagina or manual collection yields ejaculates similar to those obtained during natural mating, although they require prior training ...
