Understanding the metabolic profile within the follicular microenvironment is crucial for optimizing reproductive efficiency in camels. In this study, we examined the metabolomic profile of camel follicular fluid (FF) during the breeding (n = 10) and non-breeding seasons (n = 10). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was utilized to describe the metabolites present in follicular fluid samples.

This study systematically reviewed research on multienzyme complexes, focusing on their isolation and identification, while examining their potential classification as metabolons. Using a theoretical framework based on PRISMA guidelines, the review analysed literature from 2013 to 2023 across databases such as Medline, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect, employing targeted descriptors to identify relevant studies.

Accurate identification of microorganisms to the strain and substrain levels in clinical and environmental samples is essential to provide an appropriate anti-biotherapy to the patients and reduce the prescription of broad-spectrum antimicrobials to minimize antibiotic resistance. Unfortunately, the current diagnosis methods are often slow, expensive, or laborious, which limits their use in resource-limited regions. Therefore, there is a strong unmet need for new technologies that can rapidly identify microorganisms in complex samples to complement the existing commercially available technologies.

Most (62.5%) of the hydronephrosis cases were Grade 2; 17.

Methods: In this study, 30 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into treatment and control groups. The treatment groups received subcutaneous injections of 1 mg/kg/day of testosterone from gestational day 1 to day 3, either testosterone alone or in combination with inhibitors (anastrozole, finasteride, or both).
