In vivo dynamics of pro-inflammatory factors, mucins, and polymorph nuclear neutrophils in the bovine oviduct during the follicular and luteal phase
Dynamic functional changes in the oviductal microenvironment are the prerequisite for the establishment of pregnancy. The objective of this study was...

Involvement of MCH-oxytocin neural relay within the hypothalamus in murine nursing behavior
Multiple sequential actions, performed during parental behaviors, are essential elements of reproduction in mammalian species. We showed that neurons...

Krause corpuscles are genital vibrotactile sensors for sexual behaviours
Krause corpuscles, which were discovered in the 1850s, are specialized sensory structures found within the genitalia and other mucocutaneous tissues

Endocrine and dog factors associated with semen quality
Knowledge of factors associated with semen quality may help in investigations of the aetiology and pathophysiology. We investigated the correlation...

Oestrogen engages brain MC4R signalling to drive physical activity in female mice
Oestrogen depletion in rodents and humans leads to inactivity, fat accumulation and diabetes
1 ,2 , underscoring the conserved metabolic benefits of...

Ovarian Hormone-dependent and Spinal ERK Activation-regulated Nociceptive Hypersensitivity in Female Rats with Acid Injection-induced Chronic Widespread Muscle Pain
Symptoms of chronic widespread muscle pain (CWP) meet most of the diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia syndrome, which is prevalent in females. We...

The role of QRFP43 in the secretory activity of the gonadotrophic axis in female sheep
In mammals reproduction is regulated by many factors, among others by the peptides belonging to the RFamide peptide family. However, the knowledge...

Bovine endometrium-derived cultured cells are suitable for lipofection
Bovine-derived cultured cells, including Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells, are used worldwide; however, lipofection tend to result in low transfection...

Strategies of protected area use by Asian elephants in relation to motivational state and social affiliations
Animals’ space requirements may vary according to life-history and social considerations. We observed 516 wild adult Asian elephants from both sexes,...

In vitro production of naked mole-rats’ blastocysts from non-breeding females using in vitro maturation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection
The African naked mole-rat ( Heterocephalus glaber ) is an attractive model for cancer and aging research due to its peculiar biological traits, such...

Effect of oestrogen-dependent vasopressin on HPA axis in the median eminence of female rats
The median eminence (ME) anatomically consists of external (eME) and internal (iME) layers. The hypothalamic neurosecretory cells terminate their...

Sex-specific multi-level 3D genome dynamics in the mouse brain
The female mammalian brain exhibits sex hormone-driven plasticity during the reproductive period. Recent evidence implicates chromatin dynamics in...

Plasma Protein Comparison between Dairy Cows with Inactive Ovaries and Estrus
To screen differentially expressed proteins in the blood dairy cows with inactive ovaries caused by a negative energy balance and to determine the...

Experimental evidence of parasite-induced behavioural alterations modulated by food availability in wild capuchin monkeys
In disease dynamics, host behaviour can both determine the quantity of parasites a host is exposed to, and be a consequence of infection....

Combining accelerometers and direct visual observations to detect sickness and pain in cows of different ages submitted to systemic inflammation
Cattle suffering from inflammatory infection display sickness and pain-related behaviours. As these behaviours may be transient and last only a few...

Hormonal and biochemical changes in female Proechimys guyannensis, an animal model of resistance to pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus
The Amazon rodent Proechimys guyannensis is widely studied for hosting various pathogens, though rarely getting sick. Previous studies on male Proechimys...

A high plane of nutrition during early life alters the hypothalamic transcriptome of heifer calves
The aim was to examine the effect of rapid body weight gain during early calfhood consistent with earlier sexual development on the transcriptional...

Female hormones prevent sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction: an experimental randomized study
Although epidemiologic research has demonstrated significant differences in incidence and outcomes of sepsis according to sex, their underlying...

Efficient derivation of knock-out and knock-in rats using embryos obtained by in vitro fertilization
Rats are effective model animals and have contributed to the development of human medicine and basic research. However, the application of...
