Background: The lactation period is a crucial period where the nutritional status and the mother's environment influence milk production, impacting organ differentiation, function, and structure in the baby's body.
Aim: The study aimed to determine the impact of providing lactating rats with quail egg supplements enriched with marine macroalgae on their physiological condition (blood cells, lipids, blood glucose, antioxidant activity, and prolactin hormone levels) and the growth of their offspring.
Methods: The study involved 25 lactating Sprague Dawley white rats aged 3 months old and weighing approximately 200 g divided into five treatment groups thus; T0 as the control, T1 with quail eggs enriched with commercial feed, T2 with quail eggs enriched with 3% of marine macroalgae, T3 with quail eggs enriched with 4% of marine macroalgae, and T4 with quail eggs enriched with 5% of marine macroalgae, which received one quail egg for 21 days.

Background: Senility influences fertility in women and companion animals, especially horses.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of aging in horses on the daily changes in the dominant follicle (DF) dynamics and hemodynamics, antimüllerian hormone (AMH), enzymes, antioxidants, and ovarian hormones during the estrous cycle.
Methods: Ovaries of old mares ( = 5, age >20 years) and young native mares ( = 6, age <10 years) were scanned during 6 different estrous cycles from March 2022 to August 2023 with Doppler ultrasound.

Background: The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, a composite marker of low-grade inflammation and lipid metabolism, is reportedly associated with the occurrence of new cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in certain people. However, the predictive value of the hs-CRP/HDL-C ratio for long-term mortality in the general population remains unclear.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included data from 9,492 adults obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2015-2018) in the United States.

Dietary fiber (DF) is an indigestible carbohydrate in plant foods that supports various physiological functions. This study aimed to extract the soluble and insoluble dietary fiber (DF) from the curry leaves and investigate their physicochemical properties as well as their functional role in the homeostasis of the gut microbiome. The study observed that insoluble-DF (IDF) yielded higher amounts than soluble-DF (SDF) across alkali, acid, and water extraction methods.

Brown seaweed oligosaccharides (BSO) have demonstrated potential as nutraceuticals with cholesterol-lowering, anti-obesity, and anti-constipation properties. In this study, we initially examined how BSO impact body weight, blood lipid levels, and adipose tissue in a rat model of obesity induced by a high-fat diet. Our findings revealed that BSO administration significantly attenuated body weight gain, ameliorated dyslipidemia, and reduced visceral adiposity.
