Anim Reprod Sci. 2023 Sep 2;257:107328. doi: 10.1016/j.anireprosci.2023.107328. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current review collected and analyzed research on clinical endometritis (CE) and subclinical endometritis (SCE) in dromedary camels in terms of definition and clinical presentation, etiopathogenesis, diagnostic biomarkers, and treatment protocols. CE is characterized by uterine inflammation with abnormal vaginal discharges, while SCE comprises uterine inflammation with no clinical signs and is described as the infiltration of polymorphnuclear cells into the endometrium.

Combined addition of L-carnitine and L-proline improves cryopreservation of dairy goat semen
Anim Reprod Sci. 2023 Aug 30;257:107325. doi: 10.1016/j.anireprosci.2023.107325. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCryopreservation of semen renders artificial insemination easier and cheaper compared to use of fresh semen. However, the cellular oxidative stress, toxicity of cryoprotectants, and osmotic imbalance may lead to a decline in semen quality and fertilization ability during the process of cryopreservation. L-carnitine and L-proline have been demonstrated to possess effective antioxidant properties in cryopreservation, with the latter also exhibiting excellent permeability and thus being utilized as a permeable cryopr...

A soy lecithin nanoparticles-based extender effectively cryopreserves Holstein bull sperm
The objective was to determine the effects of lecithin type and concentration on the quality of frozen-thawed bovine sperm. We hypothesized that reducing the size of lecithin improves its interactions with the sperm and enhances the parameters that favor its motility, viability and fertility. Semen was collected from six mature Holstein bulls and ejaculates meeting minimum standards were pooled. Eight Tris-based extenders that contained 1, 2, 3, or 4 % of either conventional lecithin (L1-L4) or NL (NL1-NL4), plus two control extenders (one animal-based extender containing 20 % egg yolk [EY] and a commercial lecithin-based ...

The mammalian preimplantation embryo: Its role in the environmental programming of postnatal health and performance
Anim Reprod Sci. 2023 Aug 19;256:107321. doi: 10.1016/j.anireprosci.2023.107321. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring formation of the preimplantation embryo several cellular and molecular milestones take place, making the few cells forming the early embryo vulnerable to environmental stressors than can impair epigenetic reprogramming and controls of gene expression. Although these molecular alterations can result in embryonic death, a significant developmental plasticity is present in the preimplantation embryo that promotes full-term pregnancy. Prenatal epigenetic modifications are inherited during mitosis and can perpet...

Effects of insulin-like growth factor-1 on the proliferation and apoptosis of stallion testicular cells under normal and heat stress culture conditions
This study investigated the effect of heat stress on stallion testicular cells (TCs) and the effect of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 on TC viability, proliferation, and apoptosis, including different stages of germ cells. TCs were divided into control or treatment groups with 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 ng/mL of recombinant human IGF-1 (rhIGF-1) for 24 h at 34 °C and 37 °C. The population and viability were measured before and after treatment. The effects of rhIGF-1 on TC viability, proliferation, and apoptosis were determined using RT-qPCR. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and marker of proliferation Ki-67 (...
