In suckling rats whose mothers had had an immobilisation stress or been injected HC and T4 at the last day of their pregnancy, the sucrase induction decreased in the small intestine, if the HC was injected on the 10th day of life. The hormone injection to 1-day suckling rats did not affect the induction. These effects seem to be exerted not by the direct permeation of hormone from mother to litter but to be mediated rather by a special factor "stressin". The latter is transferred from mother to litter and decreases the sensitivity of intestinal enzymes to exogenous HC, thus exerting an antistressor effect.

Enhancing cardiac regeneration: direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into myocardial-like cells using extracellular vesicles secreted by cardiomyocytes.

To investigate the promoting effect of extracellular vesicles derived from myocardial cells (CM-EVs) on the reprogramming of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) into cardiomyocyte-like cells (iCMs) and their therapeutic effect on myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Cell experiments: The differential adhesion method was used to obtain Sprague Dawley (SD) suckling rat CFs and cardiomyocytes (CMs), while the ultracentrifugation method was used to obtain CM-EVs. Transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking technology were used to analyze and determine the morphology and particle size of CM-EVs.

Article Synopsis
- - This study explores how a mother's diet while nursing affects inflammation and oxidative stress in their baby rats, particularly those whose mothers were obese from a high-fat diet.
- - Offspring from mothers who switched to a healthier diet during lactation showed better metabolic health, including lower body weight and inflammation markers.
- - Leptin supplementation during the suckling period improved metabolic indicators, with differing effects based on the mother's diet and the offspring's sex, highlighting the potential for dietary strategies to reduce the negative impacts of maternal obesity.

We tested the hypothesis that attenuation of the circulating insulin level in rats during early life can provide sustained protection against diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysfunction in adulthood. Male Wistar rats received intraperitoneal scopolamine butylbromide (SB) during the first 12 days of suckling, whereas control rats received 0.9% saline injections.

We studied morphological features of the cerebellum in 14-day-old Wistar rats from reduced litters (the number of pups was reduced from 10-12 to 6 on the next day after birth). The control group comprised 14-day-old animals from litters of medium size (10-12 rat pups). Rats from reduced litters had greater body weight and brain weight.

Diarrhoeal diseases are the second leading cause of death for children under 5 years old in 69 low- and middle-income countries, with an annual economic burden of US$ 4 billion and over 525,000 lives lost. Cholera and enterotoxigenic (ETEC) traveller's diarrhoea are major diarrhoeal diseases caused by (O1 and O139 serogroups) and ETEC, which have similar pathogeneses and can co-infect. There is no exclusive vaccine for ETEC, but cholera vaccines containing the cholera toxin B (CT-B) component offer short-term cross-protection.
