In denervated striatum after excitotoxic cortical lesion in young adult rats, apoptotic cells, though quite few, were observed by TUNEL 2 weeks after surgery. Also, prominent expressions of p53 were observed at the same time. These data indicate that apoptotic procedure may be involved in the denervation-induced degeneration even in young adults.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has emerged as a very consequential issue threatening human life and health; therefore, research on its pathogenesis is urgently needed. A prior investigation discovered a significant elevation in the phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5) expression in the lung tissue of COPD smoking patients. This rise in expression is closely associated with COPD severity.

Introduction: Semen cryopreservation is a crucial method for preserving genetic resources and accelerating the breeding process in domestic animals. However, the frozen-thawed process often leads to physical and chemical damage in semen, resulting in oxidative stress that diminishes sperm vitality and fertilization potential. This study aimed to explore the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the quality of frozen-thawed yak semen.
