This study aimed to characterize microsatellites in the rabbit genome using an in silico approach and to develop and validate microsatellite markers. Blood samples were collected from 15 Baladi rabbits and 18 New Zealand White (NZW rabbits). The GMATA software was used to define SSRs in the extracted sequences. Twelve primer pairs were used to validate the loci identified and the primers developed. The total number of the detected microsatellite loci overall chromosomes was 1,136,253. The di-nucleotide microsatellite repeats dominated and exceeded 88% of the detected microsatellites in all chromosomes. There were no microsatellites detected in mitochondrial DNA. The highest relative microsatellite abundance was obtained for chromosome 19, followed by 13 and 6. The highest estimated SSR density was obtained for chromosome 14, and the lowest was for mitochondrial DNA, followed by chromosome 13. The polymorphism was 81.63% and 75.51% for Baladi and NZW rabbits, respectively. The number of detected alleles ranged between two and seven alleles/loci, and polymorphic information content was from 35% to 71%. The AMOVA analysis showed that the total variance of all levels of population structure was 15.734. The results definitely confirmed higher genetic diversity in Baladi compared with NZW rabbits.

Pesticides tend to cause serious reproductive defects, disturbing endocrine functions and reducing fertility, especially in females. The objective of this work was to identify the reprotoxic effects of Ampligo® 150 ZC (AP), a mixture formulation of lambda cyhalothrin and chlorantraniliprole, on the ovary of female rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and the possible protective effect of co-treatment with thyme essential oil (TEO), extracted from (Thymus vulgaris) species, and vitamin C (vit C). Twenty female rabbits were divided into four equal groups (n=5): Control (distilled water), AP (20mg/ kg bw of the insecticide mixture every other day, by gavage for 28 days), AP+TEO (20mg/ kg bw of AP + 0.

This study explored the vasodilatory mechanisms of the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor remogliflozin using femoral arteries of rabbits. Remogliflozin dilated femoral arterial rings pre-contracted with phenylephrine in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment with the Ca-sensitive K channel inhibitor (paxilline), the ATP-sensitive K channel inhibitor (glibenclamide), or the inwardly rectifying K channel inhibitor (Ba) did not alter the vasodilatory effect.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to characterize whether pulsed ultrasound (PUS) affects transscleral drug delivery.
Methods: Fluorescein sodium (NaF, 376 Da) and fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated dextran 40 (FD-40, 40 kDa) were used as model drugs. Human sclera grafts were placed in modified Franz diffusion cells and were treated by PUS (1 megahertz [MHz], 0.

The study investigates the effect of dietary herbal mixture (HM) levels on growing New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits' performance, carcass characteristics, blood biochemicals, and microbiological characteristics from 5 to 13 weeks of age. In this study, 96 New Zealand White rabbits (male and female ratio 1:1) were used, and they were five weeks old. The rabbits were at random allocated into four experimental groups (n = 24 each) comprising 12 replicates, each with two rabbits.
