Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoO-NPs), which exhibit unique catalytic and magnetic properties, making them valuable for applications like catalysts, drug delivery, and sensors.
- - Researchers explored the synthesis and local characterization of CoO-NPs in two crystal structures—rock-salt cubic (fcc-CoO) and Wurtzite (hcp-CoO)—using different ligands (oleylamine and oleic acid) to control their properties.
- - Techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the successful synthesis of both phases, with the better morphological control observed in nanoparticles produced using a combination of the ligands.
Repeat breeder (RB) cows are clinically healthy animals with regular oestrous cycles that do not become pregnant after three or more services. This syndrome has an incidence ranging between 10.1% and 24%.

- Heat stress significantly impacts canine reproductive performance and overall health, leading to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and sperm dysfunction.
- A study conducted on 36 male dogs compared those exposed to heat stress (HS) with those in stable temperatures (TN) over 90 days, measuring various health parameters.
- Results indicated HS dogs experienced decreased protein and antioxidant levels, increased ROS in sperm, and reduced semen quality compared to TN dogs, particularly noticeable after 30 days.
Freezing-thawing procedures and semen manipulation for in vitro fertilization induce oxidative stress, which in turn leads to impaired sperm quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether incubation of frozen-thawed buffalo semen with olive fruit extracts (OFE), known to contain a high concentration of phenolic antioxidants, would improve semen quality by reducing oxidative stress. Frozen sperm (4 ejaculates/4 bulls/3 replicates) were thawed and diluted to 30 × 10/mL in IVF medium with 0, 72, 143, and 214 μL/mL of OFE, corresponding to 0 (D0-control), 50 (D50), 100 (D100), and 150 (D150) μM hydroxytyrosol.

The present study aimed to compare two surgical approaches of ovariectomy, via the flank and midventral, in mouflons under field conditions. A total of 20 female mouflons were enrolled in the study.
