Behaviour, heart rate, and heart rate variability in pigs exposed to novelty
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2016 In the present study, we investigated behavioural responses and determined parameters of heart rate variability (HRV) to elucidate a relative activation of autonomic nervous system (ANS) during baseline (10 min) and in response to potentially stressful ...

Lack of airway submucosal glands impairs respiratory host defenses
eLife, 2020 Submucosal glands (SMGs) are a prominent structure that lines human cartilaginous airways. Although it has been assumed that SMGs contribute to respiratory defense, that hypothesis has gone without a direct test.

Comparison of two ketamine/xylazine anesthesic protocols in pigs (Sus crofa domestica) [PDF]
, 2018 The pig (Sus scrofa domestica) is an animal used as an experimental model in surgical procedures. This makes the use of anaesthesia necessary. The present study constitutes a comparison between two different ketamine/xylazine concentration protocols. One
