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:
... Tuviras (Gymnotus sp.) are a small fish widely used as live bait in sport fishing. Interest in its culture has increased, but there are still several bottlenecks that need to be solved. For example, the process of sexing in tuviras is difficult since they do not present sexual dimorphism. Thus, the aim of this study was to verify if an abdominal puncture could be used as an inexpensive, fast and r ...

Abstract:
... Vitamin K (VK) is a fat-soluble vitamin known for its essential role in blood coagulation, but also on other biological processes (e.g. reproduction, brain and bone development) have been recently suggested. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms behind its particular function on reproduction are not yet fully understood.The potential role of VK on reproduction through nutritional supplementation ...

LC‐PUFA are essential nutrients that not only determine the nutritional value of sea urchins but also guarantee normal growth and reproduction performance. To better understand the molecular basis of LC‐PUFA biosynthesis in S. intermedius, the ...

Abstract:
... The liver helps maintain energy homeostasis by synthesizing and storing glucose and lipids. Gonadal steroids, particularly estrogens, play an important role in regulating metabolism. As estrogens are considered female hormones, metabolic disorders related to the disruption of estrogen signaling have mostly been studied in females. Estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) is the predominant receptor in both ...

Manipulating expression of dsx could be useful in the genetic control of insects. However, information on the sex‐specific function of dsx in non‐model insects is lacking. RESULTS: In this work, we isolated a dsx ho ...

The vitamin D receptor is expressed in multiple cells of the body (other than osteoblasts), including beta cells and cells involved in immune modulation (such as mononuclear cells, and activated T and B lymphocytes), and most organs in the body including the brain, heart, skin, gonads, prostate, breast, and gut. Consequently, the extra-skeletal impact of vitamin D deficiency has been an active are ...
