Background/aims: To investigate the effectiveness of controlled reperfusion (CR) on ovarian tissue malondialdehyde, total glutathione and 8-hydroxyguanine levels and infertility rates in a rat model of induced ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury with unilateral oophorectomy.
Methods: A total of 135 adult female albino Wistar rats were divided into 9 groups (n = 15 for each group): unilateral ovariectomy + ovarian I/R (OIR), unilateral ovariectomy alone (OEG), a sham operation group (SG), and unilateral ovariectomy + CR performed at different intervals (the clips were released 10 times for 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 or 1 s and closed again 10 times for 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 or 1 s; OCR-1-6, respectively). Five rats from each group were sacrificed, and their ovaries were removed.
Results: Higher ovarian tissue malondialdehyde and 8-hydroxyguanine levels and lower ovarian tissue total glutathione levels were found in the OIR group compared with the SG, OEG and OCR-4-6 groups. The number of rats giving birth during the study period was found to be similar among the SG (n = 8), OEG (n = 8) and OCR-6 (n = 7) groups.
Conclusion: These results suggest that sterility and ovarian oxidative stress caused by I/R injury decreases in parallel to the shortening of CR duration.

Physiological and clinical parameters under different protocols of total intravenous anesthesia in llama () undergoing unilateral ovariectomy.
Open Vet J
November 2024
Department of Molecular Biotechnology, Central Laboratory Unit, University Nacional Hermilio Valdizán, Huánuco, Perú.
Background: The limited and detailed literature on total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), as well as the clinical indications for unilateral ovariectomy in llamas, are not well-defined. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the anesthetic events and the surgical intervention in this species.
Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the intraoperative physiological and clinical parameters in llamas undergoing unilateral ovariectomy, under three protocols of TIVA.
Puberty progression in girls with Turner syndrome after ovarian tissue cryopreservation.

Department of Pediatrics, Radboud University Medical Center, Amalia Children's Hospital, Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate how removing one ovary for ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) affects the remaining ovary's function in girls with Turner syndrome, monitoring them over several years to track pubertal development and hormone levels.
- - Conducted at a university hospital in the Netherlands, the research involved 28 girls aged 5-19, each with different karyotypes associated with Turner syndrome, and analyzed their hormone levels and pubertal milestones post-OTC.
- - Results showed a mixed response; while many participants experienced normal pubertal developments like thelarche and menarche, a notable decline in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels occurred shortly after OTC, leading to some girls requiring hormone replacement

Influence of sire plane of nutrition and targeted body weight gain on ewe lamb growth, glucose metabolism, and ovarian reserve.

Rambouillet rams were managed on either a positive (POS; gain 12% body weight [BW]; n = 8), maintenance (MAINT; maintain BW; n = 8), or negative (NEG; lose 12% BW; n = 8) plane of nutrition before breeding. Rams were bred to ewes (n = 10 per ram) that were managed similarly throughout gestation, and lambs were fed a common diet postnatally. Two ewe lambs (7.

Argos SpéNac Referral Center, 75007 Paris, France.
Few cases of antemortem ovarian torsion and diagnosis have been described in reptiles. This case series reports clinical and ultrasound findings in five adult (aged 1-6 yr) female geckos (three leopard geckos [], one crested gecko [], and one gargoyle gecko []) diagnosed with unilateral ovarian torsion between 2019 and 2023. All animals presented with acute weakness associated with coelomic distension, and one suffered from chronic diarrhea and cachexia.
