Probiotics play an essential role in the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)
aquaculture sector. They aid the fish in sickness prevention, intestinal structure …

In vitro growth (IVG) of dormant primordial ovarian follicles aims to produce mature
competent oocytes for assisted reproduction. Success is dependent on optimal in vitro …

Obesity, which can arise from genetic or environmental factors, has been shown to cause
serious damages to the reproductive system. The ovary, as one of the primary regulators of …

Key biomolecular processes, which regulate primordial ovarian follicle dormancy and early
folliculogenesis in mammalian ovaries, are not fully understood. The domestic cat is a useful …

The study aimed to establish a long-term 3D cell culture model using luteinized follicular
cells to investigate the functionality and life cycle of the CL in felids. A mixture of cell types …

Glutathione peroxidase (Gpx) is an important member of antioxidant enzymes, which can
play a vital role in metabolizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and in maintaining cell …

We examined the effects of metabolic hormones leptin and ghrelin, and the oil-related
environmental contaminants toluene and xylene on the release of ovarian hormones by …

Corpora lutea (CL) are transient endocrine glands supporting pregnancy by progesterone
production. They develop at the site of ovulation from the remaining follicle, are highly …

In the present study, we investigated the effect of the synthetic analog of prostaglandin F2α
(PGF2α)—cloprostenol—on cultured steroidogenic luteal cells of selected felid species over …

In this work, the optical properties of ovarian tissue of cats with histologically confirmed
diagnoses: leimyosarcoma, stromal sarcoma, serous carcinoma, granulosa carcinoma …
