The astringent selection criteria for milk-oriented traits in dairy cattle have rendered these animals prone to various metabolic disorders. Postpartum lactational peak and reduced feed intake lead to negative energy balance in cattle. As a compensatory mechanism, cattle start mobilizing fat reserves to meet the energy demand for vital body functions.

This study addresses the critical gap in understanding the ovarian lipidome's abundance, distribution, and vulnerability to environmental disruptors, a largely unexplored field. Leveraging the capabilities of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI), we embarked on a novel exploration of the ovarian lipidome in both mouse and human healthy tissues. Our findings revealed that the obesogenic chemical tributyltin (TBT), at environmentally relevant exposures, exerts a profound and region-specific impact on the mouse ovarian lipidome.

Follicular fluid (FF) plays a vital role in the bidirectional communication between oocytes and granulosa cells (GCs), regulating and promoting oocyte growth and development. This fluid constitutes a complex microenvironment, rich in various molecules including hormones, growth factors, cytokines, lipids, proteins, and extracellular vesicles. Understanding the composition and metabolic profile of follicular fluid is important for investigating ovarian pathologies such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis.

Unraveling the genetic basis of azoospermia: transcriptome profiling analyses in a Greek population.

Objective: To investigate whether idiopathic nonobstructive azoospermia (iNOA) has its own transcriptomic signature.

Design: Testicular tissue biopsies were retrieved, processed, and prepared for ribonucleic acid (RNA) extraction from 26 consented patients diagnosed with iNOA. Samples were grouped into four pools based on the presence of testicular spermatozoa: two replicate pools for "No presence" (Null-spz-1 and Null-spz-2 pools), one for "High presence" (High-spz pool), and one for "Rare presence" (Rare-spz pool).

The ovary is a major determinant of female reproductive health. Ovarian functions are mainly related to the primordial follicle pool, which is gradually lost with aging. Ovarian aging and reproductive dysfunctions share oxidative stress as a common underlying mechanism.
