The behavioral effects of nicotine and oxotremorine were assessed in two strains of mice, C57BL/6 (C57) and DBA/2 (DBA), differing in the ontogeny of forebrain cholinergic structures. Both nicotine and oxotremorine depressed to a higher extent the behavior of DBA mice starting at day 45 of postnatal life.

Synergetic role of TRPV4 inhibitor and mechanical loading on reducing inflammation.

Resolution of inflammation is essential for normal tissue healing and regeneration, with macrophages playing a key role in regulating this process through phenotypic changes from a pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory state. Pharmacological and mechanical (mechanotherapy) techniques can be employed to polarize macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype, thereby diminishing inflammation. One clinically relevant pharmacological approach is the inhibition of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4).

Background: Culture medium enriched with Knockout serum replacement (KSR) can produce in vitro mouse sperm, but it is inefficient, strain-specific and contains bovine products, which limits its use in the human clinic. The study aimed to optimize the culture medium for testicular tissue by using plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) as a serum supplement, addressing the limitations of KSR.
Methods: Immature testicular tissues from NMRI mice were cultured for 14 days to identify the optimal PRGF concentration using histological analysis and tubular integrity scoring.
Evaluation of the recovery effects of antibiotic-resistant lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. Plantarum ATCC14917 on the antibiotic-disturbed intestinal microbiota using a mice model.

Aims: Supplementing Lactobacillus alongside antibiotic treatment was a curative strategy to modulate gut microbiota and alleviate antibiotic-associated dysbiosis. But the lactobacilli that are used as probiotics are sensitive or have a low level of resistance to antibiotics, so they usually cannot achieve their beneficial effect, since they are killed by the applied antibiotics. This work aimed to develop the highly resistant Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp.

Research Question: Does metformin reverse endometriosis-associated infertility?
Design: Endometriosis was induced by transplanting uterus fragments from B6CBAF1 mice into recipients of the same strain. The mice were divided into groups: endometriosis (End, n = 24), sham-operated (Sham, n = 12), endometriosis with metformin (0.5mg/ml) orally administered for 3 months (EndMet, n = 21) and sham-operated metformin-treated (ShamMet, n = 16).
