Clomifene inhibits estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, inhibiting negative feedback of estrogen on gonadotropin release and leading to up-regulation of ovulation. It has useful effects on the reproduction of female in terms of reduction in puberty and ovulation induction. The beneficial effects are manifest...

Two tailed, independent t-test and Pearson co-relation was applied to analyze hematological and biochemical parameters while anthropometric parameters like weight and height were compared as percentages. Results of current study showed that body mass index was significantly (P<0.05) elevated in PCOS patients when compared with...

Screening of mutations in PIK3CA, AKT1, MTOR and PTEN genes was carried out and analyzed by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) using the Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) to explore possible mutations in PIK3CA, AKT1, MTOR and PTEN genes. The results revealed that there were 3 mutations namely Q546K, E545K and H1047R were present in the PI...

...on blood metabolites and hormones and their link with the occurrence of reproductive abnormalities in female dromedary camels. To determine their link with two different ages of the Majaheem (black) and Waddah (white) breeds, measurements of lipogram and antioxidant parameters were assessed. During the breeding season, 16 dromedary she-camels that appeared to be in good health included in this study as controls. Their average body weight ranged from 430 kg for...

Behaviors of two adult female N. hilleri (K2 and K5) were observed in their cages from 17:00 to 05:00 WIB from September to November 2015. Feces were collected during the observation period and the levels of E1C and PdG were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Our results showed that the average percentage ...

At the same time, the concentrations of alanine transferase, aspartate transferase, and uric acid were significantly (p < 0.05) lowered. Additionally, the triglycerides were dramatically (p < 0.05) decreased while the high-density lipoprotein composed a higher proportion than the low-density-lipoprotein of the total cholesterols (p < 0.05).

The gene holds potential as a candidate in the Marker Assisted Selection program, which involves using genetic marker technology to enhance livestock selection for desirable growth traits. One approach to improving the performance of Pesisir with Holstein Friesian cattle crosses involves identifying growth hormone variations through analysis of the exon 5 gene. This study aimed to ident...

Significant differences in the growth and breeding performance of female brooder under different treatments were noted. Among the selected vitamins, incorporation of vitamin C at 150 mg /kg of diet resulted in maximum mean weight gain (2.51 ± 0.043 g), mean weight gain percentage (70.74 ± 1.219), mean DGR (0.16 &plusm...

Since the data about Stone Magpie testosterone and corticosterone levels during songbird competition remains unreported, this study aims to investigate testosterone and corticosterone hormone levels in Stone Magpies before and after the songbird contest. Fecal samples were collected from twelve b...

Bovine pituitary has been proven as an effective substitute for the functions of FSH and LH in some studies related to superovulation due to its high content of both hormones. Theref...

Comparatively WOVA-FH at 0.7 ml per kg showed better performance with higher number of ovulated eggs, fertilization and hatching rate than ovaprim and ovatide. For dose optimization, the matured brooders were administered with synthetic hormone WOVA -FH at three different doses viz., 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 and 1.0 ml per kg of body weig...
