A rare case of adventitious placentation (diffuse  semi-placenta) in a Jersey cow
Acta Vet Hung. 2024 Apr 3. doi: 10.1556/004.2024.00968. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlacental abnormalities more frequently occur during pregnancy of somatic cell clones and may lead to pregnancy loss or dystocia. Adventitious placentation, or diffuse semi-placenta, is determined by the development of areas of accessory placentation between the cotyledons due to the abnormal growth of placentomes.After a full-term pregnancy, a 3-year-old Jersey heifer was referred for dystocia which resulted in the delivery of a dead calf. The cause of dystocia was found to be foetal malposition, while the placenta was physiologically ex...

Curcumin mitigates ochratoxin A-induced oxidative stress and alters gene expression in  broiler chicken liver and kidney
Acta Vet Hung. 2024 Mar 26. doi: 10.1556/004.2024.01016. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe study aimed to evaluate the effect of curcumin (CURC) supplementation on broiler chickens exposed to ochratoxin A (OTA), by examining biochemical parameters and the expression of glutathione redox system genes and their regulation. OTA reduced glutathione content in the liver while increasing glutathione peroxidase activity. CURC showed no significant effects. Kidney parameters remained mostly unaffected. Gene expression analysis revealed OTA-induced upregulation of KEAP1, NRF2, AHR, GPx4 and GSR genes in the liver. CURC supplementat...

Cumulative effect of arsenic on the number of mouse offspring and the female reproductive hormones in mice
In this study, we evaluated the cumulative effects of arsenic (III) oxide on the number of mouse offspring over three consecutive generations and monitored changes in levels of the reproductive hormones, oestradiol and progesterone in female mice during the dioestrus phase of the cycle. The control group received water from the mains. In two experimental groups, mice were given drinking water containing dissolved arsenic (III) oxide at concentrations of 10.6 mg L-1 and 106 mg L-1, respectively. These concentrations represent the values converted from a human model to an animal model (mice) thus correspond to the arsenic co...

In vitro efficacy testing of ivermectin against Tritrichomonas foetus trophozoites
Acta Vet Hung. 2024 Feb 15. doi: 10.1556/004.2024.01023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are no recommended drugs to treat cattle infected with the protozoan Tritrichomonas foetus (TF). Ivermectin, widely used in the treatment of intestinal parasites, was found effective against some protozoa growing in vitro. Here, its effectiveness against a TF line was investigated. Trophozoites were incubated in media with increasing concentrations of ivermectin and mortality was determined after 24 h. Ivermectin killed cells with a mean maximum effective concentration (EC50) of 2.47 μg mL-1. The effective concentration of ivermec...
