Exploring Progesterone Levels and Scaled Mass Index as Predictors of Pregnancy in Free‐Ranging Belugas

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Monitoring pregnancy rates can provide vital information regarding a population's viability and trajectory. This study combined drone‐based photogrammetry with biopsy darting to determine if the Scaled Mass Index (SMI) estimated from aerial images can be used to identify pregnant, free‐ranging St.

Associations between body mass index categories and geriatric assessment tests among older adults with chronic kidney disease: A prospective study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 745-755, June 2026.
Abstract Background The optimal body mass index (BMI) among older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in geriatric assessment tests has not been studied. This study investigates the relationship between BMI and Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) parameters among older adults with CKD.

Unimolecular GLP‐1/Apelin Hybrid Peptides Cause Prominent Appetite Suppression, as Well as Enhancing Insulin Secretion, Beta‐Cell Survival and Glycaemic Regulation

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 4706-4717, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To characterise the metabolic benefits of a GLP‐1/apelin hybrid peptide, namely exendin‐4‐linker‐apelin (ELA), and associated acylated forms, including ELA‐Lys12(γGluPal), ELA‐Lys27(γGluPal) and ELA‐Lys38(γGluPal). Methods Concentration‐ and receptor‐dependent effects of the peptides on insulin secretion and beta‐cell turnover were ...

Chronic Glycaemic Control Modulates the Relationship Between GIP and Glucagon Secretion Following Oral and Enteral Nutrients in Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 5287-5293, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) may exert both insulinotropic and glucagonotropic effects. While its insulinotropic action is reportedly attenuated or abolished with worsening of glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes (T2D), the relationship between GIP and glucagon secretion across different levels of glycaemic control ...

Validation of Immunoassays for Total Thyroxine and Free Thyroxine and Age and Sex‐Related Variation in Thyroid Hormone Serum Concentrations in Orangutans (Pongo sp.)

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Thyroid disease is reported in orangutans, but to properly diagnose and manage these disorders, reference intervals for circulating thyroid hormones are needed. Methods Commercial immunoassay kits for total thyroxine (TT4) and free thyroxine (FT4) were validated for use in orangutans (Pongo spp.).

Estrogen Deprivation During Primate (Papio anubis) Pregnancy: Impact on Systemic Microvascular Flow and Cardiovascular Development and Function After Birth in Offspring

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Suppressing estradiol (E2) during baboon pregnancy lowers offspring skeletal muscle capillary density, vital for insulin‐mediated glucose uptake, and induces insulin resistance. We examined whether E2 deprivation also impairs microvascular flow and cardiac function.

Annual Variation in Stallion Testicular Measurements and Its Association With Hormonal Profiles and Semen Quality

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In a stallion breeding‐soundness examination, testicular volume may be estimated either from total scrotal width or by measuring the height, width and length of both testes. This study aimed to determine whether testicular morphometric parameters obtained by ultrasonography fluctuate throughout the year, and whether these variations affect ...

Impact of inorganic nitrate on renal sodium excretion during saline loading in healthy adults; secondary endpoints from a randomized crossover trial

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 11, June 2026.
Abstract Inorganic nitrate may lower blood pressure (BP) and enhance natriuresis through nitric oxide (NO) mediated mechanisms. Studies have found inconsistent effects of NO on sodium excretion. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition suggests increased NO promotes natriuresis, whereas inorganic nitrate studies remain inconclusive.

Acute GLP‐1 infusion in male adults lowers circulating angiotensin II without changing angiotensinogen, ACE, ACE2, or angiotensin‐(1–7) concentrations

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 11, June 2026.
Abstract Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists elicit cardiovascular and renal protection. In humans, GLP‐1 reduces plasma angiotensin II (ANGII) and increases renal perfusion, leading to increased natriuresis. The mechanisms underlying suppression of ANGII remain unclear but may involve ACE2 activation and/or a decrease in angiotensinogen.

Detection of Diagnostic Antibodies in Immune‐Mediated Diseases: A Focus on Antigens and Technologies

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.
This review explores autoantibody detection in immune‐mediated diseases, highlighting autoantigens including post‐translational modifications. We compared enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay and indirect immunofluorescence with automated chemiluminescence platforms.
