This study directly compares hCG and buserelin as ovulation-inducing agents following eCG-based superovulation in weaned donor sows, focusing on their practical impact on ovulation-embryo synchrony under field conditions. ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementing in vitro culture medium of porcine zygotes with interleukin-4 (IL-4) on their developmental competence and quality. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were ...

BACKGROUND: Widely used to assess the quality of trials in physical therapy, the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale has been translated into several languages, including Spanish. Nevertheless, no data are available ...

Two lateral mouse brain sagittal sections labeled, respectively, for Lypd1 (A) and Kcnab3 (B). (A) Lypd1 labels positively cortical Layers 2 and 5 (less heavily), but only at limbic mesocortical sites, forming the limbic ...

Efficient reproductive management in commercial swine production requires minimising non-productive days and ensuring rapid return to oestrus after weaning. The present study evaluated the effect of pre-weaning administration ...

Seminal extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have been proposed as modulators of sperm function, but their exact role remains unclear. Most studies use ejaculated sperm for clarification. This approach has limitations; nevertheless, ...
