The aim of this study was to determine dynamic thiol-disulphide homeostasis (TDH) parameters and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) levels in calves with neonatal diarrhea and compare with healthy controls. A total of 50 calves were included in the study. There were 25 calves in both diarrhea and...

Tebufenpyrad is classified as a pyrazole acaricide and insecticide. It is widely used for several crops, especially in greenhouses, in several countries. While its unfavorable effects on non-target organisms have already been established, relatively little is known about its reproductive toxicity....

Hoffmann's two-toed sloths (Choloepus hoffmanni) are unique animals popular in zoological settings. The role of vitamin D in the maintenance of calcium homeostasis in this species is unexplored, although disorders of calcium homeostasis have been reported in managed sloths, including urolithiasis...

Multi-drug resistant microbes are becoming a serious threat to health security and the economy. Antibiotic resistance results from the overuse of antibiotics for healthcare and livestock production. Reducing antimicrobial resistance requires replacing antibiotic consumption by more sustainable...

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is widely used as a plasticizer in plastic products, consumer products, and packaging materials. It is of great health concern in both animals and humans as it released into the environment and entered into the body from plastic products over time, thereby...

Finely regulated fatty acid (FA) metabolism within ovarian follicles is crucial to follicular development and influences the quality of the enclosed oocyte, which relies on the surrounding intra-follicular environment for its growth and maturation. A growing number of studies have examined the...

The melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) is an important regulator of energy homeostasis and inflammation in mammals. However, its function in teleost fish needs to be further explored. In this study, we characterized rainbow trout MC3R (rtMC3R), which encoded a putative protein of 331 amino acids....

In the last two decades, autophagy has attracted considerable attention as a conserved cellular self-digestion process that is essential for cells to maintain metabolism and energy homeostasis. Autophagy regulation is related to many basic physiological functions during individual growth and...

Somatostatin (ss) is a type of peptides involved in the regulation of growth, development, reproduction and metabolism in vertebrate. There are six somatostatin gene locis located in the fish genome, and all six genes are existed in zebrafish(Danio rerio). However, the function of somatostatin was...
