Aspectos relacionados à precocidade sexual em bovinos machos da raça Nelore, PO
O estudo foi desenvolvido em 79 bovinos machos da raça Nelore, PO, de dez a 16 meses de idade. Em todos os animais foram medidas a circunferência escrotal (CE), a concentração de testosterona (Testo) e o aparecimento dos primeiros espermatozoides no ...

ABSTRACT Introductions of species outside their native range, such as pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) in the Laurentian Great Lakes, can serve as unplanned experiments that provide new insights into ecological adaptation. We synthesize available information on the understudied Great Lakes pink salmon invasion and highlight how this case can inform

Contribution of Fat Adjustment to Residual Feed Intake Estimation in Beef Cattle
ABSTRACT Including fat thickness as a covariate in the regression model used to calculate residual feed intake (RFI) could help preserve carcass quality traits, such as marbling, flavour and juiciness, by accounting for variation in fat deposition.

Pubertal development and hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis are altered in male mice lacking Mecp2
Abstract Mutations in the MECP2 gene, encoding the epigenetic reader Methyl‐CpG binding protein 2, are the main cause of Rett syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder. Besides severe symptoms such as profound intellectual disability, loss of speech and motor skills, and epilepsy, loss of function of MECP2 has been associated with pubertal ...

Effects of polymorphisms of LHR and FSHR genes on sexual precocity in a Bos taurus x Bos indicus beef composite population [PDF]
The purpose of the present research was to investigate the effects of polymorphisms of luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) genes, evaluated by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length ...
