Effect of feeding rumen-protected methionine on productive and reproductive performance of dairy cows.

PloS one
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of daily top-dressing (individually feeding on the top of the total mixed ration) with rumen-protected methionine (RPM) from 30 ± 3 until 126 ± 3 Days in milk on productive and reproductive pe...

Vitamin D: Effects on human reproduction, pregnancy, and fetal well-being.

The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology
Pregnancy places exceptional demands on vitamin D and calcium availability; thus, their deficiencies during pregnancy threaten the woman and her fetus. Globally, vitamin D and other micronutrient deficiencies are common during pregnancy, especially i...

Collection of Post-mating Semen from the Female Reproductive Tract and Measurement of Semen Liquefaction in Mice.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
In mice, ejaculated semen is deposited in the uterus. After ejaculation, the semen changes consistency from gel-like to watery, a process called liquefaction. In this study, we show how to collect the post-ejaculated semen from the female reproductiv...

Effects of hormonal stimulation on the concentration and quality of excreted spermatozoa in the critically endangered Panamanian golden frog (Atelopus zeteki).

Theriogenology
Knowledge of basic gamete biology is critical to better protect and propagate endangered amphibian species and also to develop reproductive technologies combined with germplasm cryopreservation. The objectives of the study were to test different horm...

The potential of AOP networks for reproductive and developmental toxicity assay development.

Reproductive toxicology (Elmsford, N.Y.)
Historically, the prediction of reproductive and developmental toxicity has largely relied on the use of animals. The adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework forms a basis for the development of new non-animal test methods. It also provides biologica...

Comparative reproductive biology, advances in reproductive health, and cultivating inclusion in the scientific community: highlights from the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Society for Reproductive Biology.

Reproduction, fertility, and development
In 2024, the reproductive biology research community in Australia and New Zealand reunited in Adelaide for the Society for Reproductive Biology (SRB) Annual Meeting. The conference showcased major advances made in key areas of reproductive biology, w...

Genome-wide association study revealed candidate genes associated with egg-laying time traits in layer chicken.

Poultry science
In modern intensive caged laying hen production, variations in egg-laying time (ELT) among layers often increase the workload for egg collection, thereby raising the costs of labor or power and reducing overall efficiency. For management purpose, ear...

AI language models in human reproduction research: exploring ChatGPT's potential to assist academic writing.

Human reproduction (Oxford, England)
Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven language models have the potential to serve as an educational tool, facilitate clinical decision-making, and support research and academic writing. The benefits of their use are yet to be evaluated and concerns hav...

Effect of temporal resolution on the reproduction of chaotic dynamics via reservoir computing.

Chaos (Woodbury, N.Y.)
Reservoir computing is a machine learning paradigm that uses a structure called a reservoir, which has nonlinearities and short-term memory. In recent years, reservoir computing has expanded to new functions such as the autonomous generation of chaot...

Unsupervised Deep Learning based Longitudinal Follicular Growth Tracking during IVF Cycle using 3D Transvaginal Ultrasound in Assisted Reproduction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Longitudinal follicle tracking is needed in clinical practice for diagnosis and management in assisted reproduction. Follicles are tracked over the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, and this analysis is usually performed manually by a medical pract...
