Abstract:
... Previously, we found that (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) enhanced osteogenic differentiation of murine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by increasing the mRNA expression of osteogenesis-related genes, alkaline phosphatase activity and eventually mineralization. We further found EGCG supplementation preserved bone mass and microarchitecture in female rats during estrogen deficiency in the ...

Abstract:
... The common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) is listed as vulnerable to extinction by the IUCN due to a significant decrease in population size, caused by habitat loss and poaching. Ex situ populations can help ensure against species loss, but careful reproductive management is essential to maintain sustainable populations. Hormone monitoring allows for characterisation of the reproductive cyc ...

Abstract:
... Embryonic developmental arrest, known as diapause, has been reported in more than 130 species. However, its mechanisms are still not completely understood. In the roe deer, the only known ungulate that exhibits this phenomenon, diapause lasts for approximately 5 months, starting after the rut period in mid-July to early August and ending with embryo elongation and implantation in December/January. ...

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in managed care generally are paired for breeding starting around the age of 5 or 6 years; however, DNA analyses of the wild population indicate that males as young as 2 or 3 may sire offspring and females as young as 4 can produce cubs. There are no reports describing longitudinal reproductive hormone parameters in juvenile polar bears. The objective of the current s ...

The causes for POF are idiopathic, genetic, iatrogenic incidence, autoimmunity, and adverse effects from toxic chemical exposures. Several classes of chemicals have been shown to alter follicle development and reduce fertility, leading to POF in mammals. We investigated the synergistic effects ...

After a year of prefeeding a diet supplemented with unlabeled lutein ( ...

Abstract:
... Goats are important livestock species because they produce meat, milk, and fibre and are also easily maintainable on small farms. Although goats provide many products and consumption of goat meat is increasing in the United States, the industry lags compared with many species with regard to IVF techniques to enhance goat production. It has been demonstrated in other species that male IVF embryos t ...

Abstract:
... The sex ratio of newborn calves and embryos produced in vivo is ~1:1. However, numerous studies on bovine in vitro-produced embryos suggest that the sex ratio may differ from 1:1 and that the rate of development may be influenced by the sex of the embryo under certain culture conditions. The duration of sperm-oocyte interaction and sperm pre-incubation also affect the sex ratio of bovine embryos p ...

The PB1 contains one of each pair of homologous chromosomes present in the mature oocyte and its DNA can be used for preconception genetic diagnosis. The PB1 degenerates shortly after extrusion, possibly due to an apoptotic process; however, it has not yet bee ...

Abstract:
... Pre-implantation embryo development is a critical stage, in which several development and stress-response related transcription factors (TF) are involved. Exposing embryos to environmental insults alter some of these stress response-related TF. However, their expression pattern in male and female embryos and their release via exosomes is still unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of c ...

Abstract:
... Lung cancer has been one of the major cancers leading to mortalities worldwide. In addition to smoking, estrogen is considered to play an important role in the lung cancer development because women have a higher proportion of adenocarcinoma than men.

Abstract:
... Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) are substances similar to steroid hormones that can disturb normal physiological functions of male and female reproductive organs. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals tend to bind to steroid hormone receptors. Sex steroid hormones modulate calcium signalling in the cardiac muscle in early embryo development. Among the steroid hormones, progesterone (P4) has been rep ...

Abstract:

Pre-clinical studies attributed this to anti-tumorigenic properties of its metabolite 1α,25(OH)2D3. However, 1α,25(OH)2D3 is highly calcemic and thus has a narrow therapeutic window. Here we propose another metabolite, 24R,25(OH)2D3, as an alternative non-calcemic vitamin D3 supple ...

Also, animal-sourced FSH is typically used in IVF, so an effective alternative using recombinant DNA technology is desira ...

Abstract:
... After mating, female camelids ovulate in response to nerve growth factor (NGF) present in semen (formerly referred to as ovulation-inducing factor). The ovulatory effect appears to be induced by stimulation of hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuronal activity and LH secretion. Recent studies have identified kisspeptin as an important mediator of GnRH secretion in several species ...

... In the equine embryo, putative primordial germ cells appear between 20 and 30 days and the gonadal primordium can first be identified at Day 30 after ovulation, respectively. Subsequently, sexual differentiation of the gonad occurs and completes by Day 45 of pregnancy. The objectives of this work were to describe the morphology and function of the fetal equine ovary and testis at the beginning of ...

Abstract:
... Previous research has shown that embryos conceived by IVF show a sexual dimorphic phenotype and different metabolite expression into adulthood. Interestingly, female embryos have a higher apoptotic rate and are more vulnerable to environmental stressors. Our prior studies have examined DNA methylation changes in male and female embryos; however, limited knowledge is available with regard to chroma ...

Abstract:
... Diet during pregnancy programs the mother and offspring post-weaning (PW). Folic acid (FA, synthetic folate) mediates DNA methylation (DNAm) reactions and high intakes, simulating those consumed by American women, lead to epigenetic dysregulation of energy metabolic pathways. 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MTHF), the bioactive folate form, has gained popularity as a supplement due to direct cellular u ...

Using this technique, the number of transferred blastocysts and implanted embryos may be quantified, representing a useful method for assessing the effect of xenobiotics on quality and functionality of the blastocyst. Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is one of the ...

A protein identified as β-nerve growth factor, present in the seminal plasma (SP), has the capacity to induce ovulation and corpus luteum formation. Alpacas exhibit poor reproductive efficiency, with birth rates below 50% due in part to high embryo mortality ...

Abstract:
... Male monstrilloid copepods, described herein as Monstrillopsis paradoxa sp. nov., were collected from the Chuja Islands, Jeju, Korea, using a light trap. They display many of the common features of Monstrillopsis, including large, prominent eyes, an anteriorly positioned oral papilla, and four setae on each caudal ramus. Type-2 modification of the antennules further supports the assi ...

The bee genus Caupolicana Spinola is most diverse in temperate South America, and poorly represented in Brazil, where only two species (C. gaullei Vachal and C. lugubris Smith) were hitherto known. Here, a third species of the genus (C. rupestris Zama, Ferrari, Coelho and Silveira sp. nov.) in that country, is being described, from the ‘rocky fields’ of Minas Gerais state. Additionally, the male t ...

Our previous work in rodents showed that high fat diet (HFD) induced paternal obesity reduced offspring glucose tolerance. It has also been reported that paternal obesity can initiate metabolic disturbance in subsequent generations. Therefore, we designed a novel micronutrient supplement to ameliorate th ...
