Use of rabbit peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) complex in immunostaining of the pig hypothalamus resulted in false positive staining of elements of the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei due to binding of rabbit PAP complex and rabbit immunoglobulins to these structures. This phenomenon seriously hampers immunohistochemical investigation of the pig hypothalamus. Specific binding of swine immune serum against luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone has been detected with the protein A-biotin-streptavidin method employed on paraffin and vibratome sections of fetal and postnatal pig hypothalamus.

Despite the WHO recommendations in favor of breastfeeding, most infants receive infant formulas (IFs), which are complex matrices involving numerous ingredients and processing steps. Our aim was to understand the impact of the quality of the protein ingredient in IFs on gut microbiota and physiology, blood metabolites and brain gene expression. Three IFs were produced using whey proteins (WPs) from cheese whey (IF-A) or ideal whey (IFs-C and -D) and caseins, either in a micellar form (IFs-A and -C) or partly in a non-micellar form (IF-D).

Libido plays a crucial role in influencing semen quality, yet the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. As a central axis in male goose reproduction, the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular-external genitalia (HPTE) axis may contribute to the regulation of this process. In this study, we established a rating scale for goose libido based on average number of massages to erection (ANM) and the erection type, and evaluated semen quality across the entire flock.

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is an important stress hormone, and because of the different distributions and functions of its receptors, CRF has various effects on the stress response of animals. CRF receptor 2 (CRFR2) is a functional receptor of CRF that may be related to appetite regulation and sex differences. In this study, male and female C57BL/6 mice were exposed to an ambient temperature of 4 °C, and feed intake were determined.

The natural substitution Ala610Val in the porcine glucocorticoid receptor (GR) leads to a profound compensatory downregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in early ontogeny. In this study, we leveraged this unique animal model to explore mechanisms of HPA axis regulation and consequences of its genetically-based persistent hypoactivity. To this end, we examined transcriptional signature of GR in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala and adrenal gland in resting conditions (i.

Tryptophan (Trp) is an essential amino acid acting as a key nutrition factor regulating animal growth and development. But how Trp modulates food intake in pigs is still not well known. Here, we investigated the effect of dietary supplementation of Trp with different levels on food intake of growing pigs.
