This study investigated, for the first time, the alterations in the uterine echotexture and blood flow in cyclic and acyclic (inactive ovary) goats using ultrasonography. The study aimed also to evaluate the metabolomic changes in the plasma of cyclic and acyclic goats. Furthermore, the histopathological approach was applied to the specimens of the uterus to validate the findings of this study.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant public health problem and it is known that the identification of molecular markers involved in glycemic control can impact disease control. Although the rs266729 polymorphism located in the promoter of the adiponectin gene (ADP) has been shown to be a candidate for involvement in glycemic control, the genotypic groups have never been characterized in terms of metabolomic aspects. Objective: Analyze the metabolites present in the rs266729 genotype groups.

Despite the unique advantages of IgG3 over other IgG subclasses, such as mediating enhanced effector functions and increased flexibility in antigen binding due to a long hinge region, the therapeutic potential of IgG3 remains largely unexplored. This may be attributed to difficulties in recombinant expression and the reduced plasma half-life of most IgG3 allotypes. Here, we report plant expression of two SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that exhibit high (P5C3) and low (H4) antigen binding.

Fucoidans, a group of high molecular weight polysaccharides derived mainly from brown algae, are characterized by their high fucose content, degree of sulfation (DS), and intra- and interspecific structural variation. Fucoidans are increasingly recognized due to various reported bioactivities, potentially beneficial for human health. To unlock their potential use within biomedical applications, a better understanding of their structure-functional relationship is needed.

N-linked glycoproteins are rich in seminal plasma, playing essential roles in supporting sperm function and fertilization process. The alteration of seminal plasma glycans and its correspond glycoproteins may lead to sperm dysfunction and even infertility. In present study, an integrative analysis of glycoproteomic and proteomic was performed to investigate the changes of site-specific glycans and glycoptoteins in seminal plasma of asthenozoospermia.
