Dietary Polyphenols as Regulators of Protein Deposition and Muscle Health: Mechanisms, Interactions, and Functional Applications

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
Dietary polyphenols contribute to the regulation of protein deposition and muscle health through multiple interconnected mechanisms. They promote protein synthesis and myogenic differentiation mainly by modulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and myogenic regulatory factors, while suppressing excessive protein degradation through regulation of ...

Effect on the splenocyte function of weaned piglets induced by continuous lipopolysaccharide injections

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Research
When piglets are exposed to pathogens for a long period, the immune system organs, among them the spleen, play a major role in combating the stress caused by those pathogens.

Evaluating the Predictive Value of Estimated Breeding Values of Piétrain Sires for Uniformity and Survival in Their Crossbred Progeny

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 6, Page 746-761, November 2026.
ABSTRACT High litter sizes in pigs are associated with lower birth weights and increased within‐litter variation, which poses challenges to pig farming. Improving piglet uniformity and survival via genetic selection of terminal boars could be a strategy to enhance these traits.

Genetic Control of Canalization for Twinning Rates in Polypay and Rambouillet Sheep Using Threshold or Double Hierarchical Generalized Linear Models

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 6, Page 807-820, November 2026.
ABSTRACT In most sheep production systems, the ideal scenario is for every ewe to lamb and successfully raise twins. However, selection for increased number of lambs born (NLB) is often accompanied by a higher incidence of triplet and higher‐order births, which increases management challenges and producer reluctance to intensify selection for this ...

Voluntary exercise mitigates the effects of peri‐adolescent social isolation on emotion recognition and the oxytocinergic system in male mice

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Social isolation, particularly during adolescence, is known to affect cognitive, emotional, and social behaviors as well as brain modulatory systems such as the hypothalamic oxytocinergic system. Interestingly, recent evidence indicates that exercise can exert beneficial effects on behaviors through the activation of the oxytocinergic system ...
