Activity-dependent protein synthesis is crucial for long-lasting forms of synaptic plasticity. However, our understanding of translational mechanisms controlling GABAergic synapses is limited. One distinct form of inhibitory long-term potentiation (iLTP) enhances postsynaptic clusters of GABARs and the primary inhibitory scaffold, gephyrin, to promote sustained synaptic strengthening.

The treatment of these infections is becoming increasingly difficult due to the emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains, which can also be a direct or indirect threat to humans as consumers of poultry products. Therefore, alternative antimicrobial agents are being sought, which could be essential oils, either administered individually or in interaction with antibiotics.

This in vitro study analyzed the effectiveness of the combinations of gentamicin and lavender essential oils against the following strains: ATCC 25923, MRSA and ATCC 9027.

Therefore, it may play a crucial role in the signaling pathway of the somatotropic axis, which influences growth, development, and reproductive traits in ruminants. For this purpose, for three breeds of cattle (Hereford, Angus, and Limousin; a total of 781 individuals), two polymorphic sites located in exon 16 (rs210148032; p.
