Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) has been investigated as a potential therapeutic for diabetes by the effect of food intake reduction, increasing leptin signaling, and insulin tolerance. Recent studies focused on its synaptogenesis and protective effects against neurodegeneration. Whereas 1,2-diacetylbenzene (DAB), a common metabolite of a neurotoxicant 1,2-diethyl benzene, causes memory impairment and neurotoxicity partly through the inflammatory process. Our present study assessed the effect of PrRP in microglia and its action in balancing the inflammation to protect against DAB. We observed that PrRP modulated NADPH oxidase - regulated NLRP3 inflammasome and PRL signaling pathways differently between physical and toxic conditions in microglia.

Feed cost represents about 70% of the total production costs of rabbit farms. There is little research on the usage of Berseem and Fenugreek seeds as substitutes for soybeans in rabbit diets. The current investigation was conducted to assess the influence of dietary inclusion of Fenugreek and/or Berseem seeds at varying levels as a substitute for soybean meal on reproductive performance, milk production, maternal behaviour, economic efficiency, mammary gland and ovarian histology, and relative expression of reproductive genes of New Zealand White rabbit does.

Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate the association between positive TCT and sex hormone levels and to evaluate the feasibility of change in sex hormone level as a potential predictor of cervical cancer.
Methods: We recruited 910 female participants from the health examination center of a hospital in Guizhou between 2019 and 2023. All participants had undergone both hematologic examinations and cervical cancer screening.

Background: Radiation exposure is a concern in today's world, given the widespread use of electronic devices and medical procedures involving ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Radiations may cause male infertility by inducing oxidative stress in testicular tissue. Melatonin has antioxidant properties.
