Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 The transgenerational inheritance of stress-induced epigenetic modifications is still controversial. Despite several examples of defence ‘priming’ and induced genetic rearrangements, the involvement and persistence of transgenerational epigenetic ...

On the importance of including both sexes in animal studies – insights from home‐cage monitoring
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A review of behavioural studies using home‐cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial behavioural differences between male and female animals. This bias could influence the outcomes of biomedical research.

Journal of Developmental Biology, 2021 Epigenetic modifications regulate gene expression for development, immune response, disease, and other processes. A major role of epigenetics is to control the dynamics of chromatin structure, i.e., the condensed packaging of DNA around histone proteins ...

Transgenerational effects of obesogens
Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology, 2019 AbstractObesity and associated disorders are now a global pandemic. The prevailing clinical model for obesity is overconsumption of calorie‐dense food and diminished physical activity (the calories in—calories out model). However, this explanation does not account for numerous recent research findings demonstrating that a variety of environmental ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The environmental conditions organisms experience during early development can have powerful and sustained effects on morphology, physiology, behaviour, and performance. Such developmental effects can influence reproductive success, survival, and life‐history strategies and can be transmitted across generations (i.e.

Maternal Priming of Offspring Immune System in Drosophila
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Immune priming occurs when a past infection experience leads to a more effective immune response upon a secondary exposure to the infection or pathogen.

Metabolites, 2022 Obesogens such as tributyltin (TBT) are xenobiotic compounds that promote obesity, in part by distorting the normal balance of lipid metabolism. The obesogenic effects of TBT can be observed in directly exposed (F1 and F2 generations) and also subsequent

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This research investigates how sustainability‐oriented initiatives aimed at innovating a firm's business model can lead to different economic, social and environmental performance configurations, with the objective of identifying the determinants that explain these differences. We carried out a multiple case study, selecting firms based on the

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Air pollution is a global threat to human health especially spermatogenesis. Animal and epidemiological studies suggest that epigenetic factors can transmit the pathologies transgenerationally.
