Copper nanoparticles lead to reproductive dysfunction by affecting key enzymes of ovarian hormone synthesis and metabolism in female rats.

Studies on the general toxicity of copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) have been conducted extensively, but their effects on reproductive toxicity remain unclear. In this study, we evaluated the toxic effect of Cu NPs on pregnant rats and their litter. The comparative in vivo toxicity of Cu ions, Cu NPs, and Cu microparticles (MPs) was studied in a 17-day repeated oral-dose experiment at the doses of 60, 120, and 180 mg/kg/day in pregnant rats.

extract modulates inflammation inhibition of the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways in porcine alveolar macrophages induced by .

Glässer's disease in pigs is associated with infection by and is characterized by pneumonia-like symptoms, fibrinous polyserositis, polyarthritis, and meningitis. , a commonly used traditional Chinese medication, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidative, antimicrobial, insecticidal, and antitumor properties. However, the anti-inflammatory effects of on stimulation are still poorly understood.

The effect of extract on in vitro ruminal fermentation and methanogenesis.

Methane production is the main gas energy loss in ruminants and generates a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate changes. is a plant commonly utilized additive in livestock diet as it contains various chemical compounds with beneficial health effects. This study aimed to explore the influence of extract on in vitro methanogenesis and rumen fermentation.
