Introduction Global warming augments the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in
vulnerable expectant mothers. Pioneering investigations into heat stress (HS) have …

Environmental insults during early development heavily affect brain trajectories. Among
these, maternal infections, high‐fat diet regimens, and sleep disturbances pose a significant …

Caffeine is commonly consumed by pregnant women to avoid fatigue or as a habit.
However, it is not clearly determined its side effects to the conceptuses. This study evaluated …

Background: This study explored underlying gene signatures of low birth weight (LBW) by
analyzing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between LBW and normal birth weight …

Microglial activation is a key modulator of brain vulnerability in response to intra-uterine
growth restriction (IUGR). However, the consequences of IUGR on microglial development …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) refers to impaired foetal growth during gestation,
resulting in permanent stunting effects on the offspring. This study aimed to investigate the …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is defined as inadequate foetal growth during
gestation. In response to placenta insufficiency, IUGR piglets prioritise brain development as …

Given the importance of males as semen donors for artificial insemination (AI) and the high
incidence of low birthweight piglets at commercial farms, the impact of birthweight on fertility …

Knowledge of follicle development during pregnancy under experimental conditions could
be a key factor to understanding maternal ovarian activity. Thus, this study evaluated the …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with increased mortality and morbidity
not only during the neonatal period but also later in life. It is a pregnancy-associated disease …
