The content of fatty acids in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus was studied in an experiment on Wistar rats of the three age groups (5-weeks, puberal and old- 20-22 weeks) with an induced hypothyroidism (simulation was achieved by a 2 week prior supplement of L-thyroxin and final monitoring of thyroxin levels in serum). It was determined that the major variations of free fatty acids were noticed in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus among puberal rats, and somewhat lower shifts in premature (5 weeks) and old animals. The increase of free fatty acids in premature rats was registered in spectrum C17-C22. The increase of linoleic and linolenic acids were registered five times higher in hippocampus. In old rats hyperthyroidism was characterized by more apparent shifts in fatty-acidic content of lipids of neocortex and less apparent in hippocampus.

Purpose Of Review: The term metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) refers to a group of progressive steatotic liver conditions that include metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), which has varying degrees of liver fibrosis and may advance to cirrhosis, and independent hepatic steatosis. MASLD has a complex underlying mechanism, with patients exhibiting diverse causes and phases of the disease. India has a pool prevalence of MASLD of 38.

Increasing matrix metalloproteinase-2 activity by treatment of ovine cervical explants with a long-acting analogue of oxytocin (Carbetocin) at the expected time of artificial insemination.

Vet Res Commun

January 2025

Biochemistry, Veterinary Biosciences Department, Veterinary Faculty, Universidad de la República, Ruta 8, Km 18 y Ruta 102, Montevideo, 13000, Uruguay.

The aim was to study the effect of long-acting analogue of oxytocin (Carbetocin) on cervical collagenolysis of MAP-eCG synchronized ewes. At the expected time of artificial insemination, five ewes were slaughtered (n = 5) and their cervical explants (100-200 mg) were incubated during 12 h with MEM supplemented with 0, 8, 16, 32 and 64 ng/mL of Cb. Activities of activated and latent forms of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and - 9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9, respectively) in the supernatant were determined by a SDS-PAGE zymography and prostaglandin E2 concentration by immunoassay.

January 2025

Laboratory of Genomics and Human Genetics, Institut Pasteur du Maroc, Casablanca, Morocco.

Background: Male infertility (MI) is a polygenic condition mainly induced by spermatogenic failure/arrest or systemic disease with a large clinical spectrum. Lately, genetic sequencing allowed the identification of several variants implicated in both aforesaid situations.

Methods And Results: In this case study, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on the genomic DNA of a 37-year-old Moroccan man with Non-Obstructive Azoospermia.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) remains an intractable and relapsing disease featured by intestinal inflammation. The anti-UC activity of Akkermansia muciniphila (AKK), an intestinal microorganism, has been widely investigated. The current work is to explore the impacts of AKK on UC and its possible reaction mechanism.
