Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the effects of long-term supplementation of young Nellore bulls with rumen-protected polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the addition of catalase to semen extenders on semen quality and embryonic development.
  • Results showed that PUFA supplementation negatively impacted total sperm motility and increased plasma membrane damage in frozen/thawed semen, but these effects did not persist after freezing.
  • While the paternal diet influenced the lipid content in the resulting embryos, it did not affect the overall in vitro fertilizing ability of the sperm.

Nine new eremophilanolides, with seven known sesquiterpenoids, and 4-hydroxyacetophenone were isolated from the aerial parts of Senecio volckmannii var. volckmannii. The structures of these compounds were fully characterized using a combination of spectroscopic techniques including multinuclear and multidimensional NMR and mass spectrometry.

Nectomys squamipes microsatellites and homologous loci in sigmodontine rodents.

J Hered

December 2003

Genetics Department, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, 68011 Cidade UniversitAAria, 21944-970 Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.

Three monomorphic and four highly polymorphic microsatellites of Nectomys squamipes were isolated and characterised in a sample of 141 specimens from eight different Brazilian localities. These seven microsatellites and four others previously described in this species were tested in seven other nonfocus sigmodontine species. At least three loci were successfully amplified in every species, but none was amplified in all species.
