November 2024
This study explores the therapeutic benefits of tannic acid (TnA) in an experimental protocol of chronic hypermethioninemia in rats. Rats were categorized into four groups: Group I - control, Group II - TnA 30 mg/kg, Group III - methionine (Met) 0.2-0.

Article Synopsis
- The annual killifish Austrolebias charrua is an endangered species in South America, threatened mainly by agricultural practices and the use of glyphosate-based herbicides.
- This study focused on identifying and validating potential reference genes for qPCR normalization across different tissues, genders, and environmental conditions in A. charrua.
- The findings revealed that the gene 18 s was the most stable reference gene, enhancing the accuracy of gene expression studies that could help in environmental monitoring of this endangered species.
In this study we proposed to address the following question: "Are there differentially expressed sperm microRNAs related to fertility in bulls?". A systematic review of scientific literature until November 2022 was performed, in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. The main outcome was differentially expressed sperm microRNA from bulls with low versus high fertility profiles identified by using different methods such as field fertility evaluation and sperm laboratory analysis.
