Effect of PUFAs-ω3 and ω6 on oxidative stress of sheep erythrocytes.

BMC veterinary research
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the use of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) ω3 and ω6, as food supplements in livestock has increased due to their beneficial properties related to their antioxidant activity. It has been demonstrated however...

Semen collection, semen analysis and artificial insemination in the kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) to support its conservation.

PloS one
The critically endangered kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) has suffered population declines due to habitat loss, hunting, and predation. Conservation efforts, including translocation to predator-free islands, have helped increase numbers of this flightl...

Improved serotonin neuron-specific viral vectors applicable for optogenetic manipulation and recording.

Journal of pharmacological sciences
Serotonin neurons are central to the pathophysiology and therapeutics of mental disorders, including major depressive disorder, anxiety, and schizophrenia. Genetically modified mice make it possible to target serotonin neurons by selective expression...

Evaluation of endometrial vascular flow index and echogenicity following experimental induction of subclinical endometritis in dairy cows.

Scientific reports
This study was conducted aiming to investigate impacts of experimentally induced endometritis on the vascular perfusion and echogenicity of the endometrium in dairy cows. Following estrus synchronization and applying cytological and bacteriological e...

Bioactivity and chemical screening of endophytic fungi associated with seaweeds Gracilaria sp. and Sargassum sp. of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.

Scientific reports
This study explored the great potential of endophytic fungi associated with red seaweed Gracilaria sp. and brown seaweed Sargassum sp. of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh, for the first time. Endophytic fungi were identified taxonomically by morphologic...

Altered aminoacid and lipid metabolism in a rat orofacial inflammation model determined by omics approach: potential role in trigeminal sensitisation.

The journal of headache and pain
BACKGROUND: Trigeminal activation and sensitisation involved in chronic inflammatory orofacial pain share several similarities with headaches, including migraine. Therefore, understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms is important to determine no...

Amphibious robotic dog: design, paddling gait planning, and experimental characterization.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Mammal-inspired quadruped robots excel in traversing diverse terrestrial terrains but often lack aquatic mobility, limiting their effectiveness in amphibious environments. To address this challenge, an amphibious robotic dog (ARD) was developed, inte...

Deep learning-based evaluation of the severity of mitral regurgitation in canine myxomatous mitral valve disease patients using digital stethoscope recordings.

BMC veterinary research
BACKGROUND: Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) represents the most prevalent cardiac disorder in dogs, frequently resulting in mitral regurgitation (MR) and congestive heart failure. Although echocardiography is the gold standard for diagnosis, i...

Smartphone-integrated Nanozyme approaches for rapid and on-site detection: Empowering smart food safety.

Food chemistry
Smartphone-integrated nanozyme technologies (S-INTs) have emerged as a promising solution for rapid, on-site food safety analysis, addressing the detection of foodborne pathogens, contaminants, and hazards. While the applications of nanozymes in food...

Light-microscopy-based connectomic reconstruction of mammalian brain tissue.

Nature
The information-processing capability of the brain's cellular network depends on the physical wiring pattern between neurons and their molecular and functional characteristics. Mapping neurons and resolving their individual synaptic connections can b...
