Article Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of α-Cypermethrin (αCYP), the second most commonly used pesticide in India, on the ovine ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) viability, growth, apoptosis, and steroidogenesis. GCs collected from abattoir-derived ovine ovaries were cultured for 3/6 days in the presence of various concentrations of αCYP (0, 1, 10, 25, 50, and 100 μM). The results revealed a binary effect on GCs, where metabolic activity and viability rates were significantly (p < 0.05) lower from 25 μM onwards. Estrogen concentration was significantly low from the 1 μM dose, whereas progesterone concentration showed a significant increase (10 μM) in the spent media of cultured GCs. The cytotoxicity in the GCs exposed to αCYP revealed significant changes in LDH, ROS, CUPRAC, and GST activity (all at 25 μM) and MDA (at 10 μM) compared to those observed in the control group. The gene expression profiles of cultured GCs showed a significant up-regulation of CYP11A1, FSHR (all at 1 μM), StAR, BAX, and CASP3 (all at 10 μM), 3βHSD1 (at 25 μM), and significant down-regulation of CYP17A1 and ERS2 (all at 25 μM), CYP19A1 and 17βHSD (all at 1 μM), ESR1 and BCL2 (all at 10 μM) in comparison to those observed in control groups. The results of the present experiment demonstrated that αCYP affected the growth and functional parameters of GCs, the expression of steroid hormone-associated genes, and hormone secretion.

Background: Imbalanced diet and exogenous gonadotrophins affect uterine function and morphology. In sheep, FSH-induced superovulation alters implantation-related gene expression, influenced by both treatment and diet. In this study, we used deep RNA sequencing (NGS, RNA-Seq) to expand our understanding of these effects on the caruncular endometrium.

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.

Prolactin (PRL) plays a key role in the growth and ovulation of animal follicles, but its impact on follicular recruitment in ewes remains uncertain. In this study, a total of sixteen healthy ewes (Hu sheep, aged 2-3 years, with continuous reproduction and housed separately), matched for parity and weight (52.98 ± 0.

Article Synopsis
- Ezrin, radixin, and moesin (ERM) proteins connect membrane proteins to the actin cytoskeleton, but their role in healthy reproductive tissues is under-researched.
- A study used immunohistochemistry to analyze the distribution of these proteins in ovaries from various animal species, including mice, dogs, and pigs.
- Findings revealed differences in localization and expression of ERM proteins across species and ovarian structures, which could enhance our understanding of their physiological roles in female reproduction.
