research Effects of Platycladus orientalis Leaf Extract on the Growth Performance, Fur-Production, Serum Parameters, and Intestinal Microbiota of Raccoon Dogs
A small dose of Platycladus orientalis leaf extract improves raccoon dogs' growth and health, but higher doses can be harmful.
research The naked truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex cat breed mutations in KRT71
Sphynx cats are hairless and Devon Rex cats have curly hair due to specific genetic mutations.
research Testosterone-stimulated weanlings as an alternative to castrated male rats in the Hershberger anti-androgen assay
Using testosterone-stimulated weanling rats can effectively replace castrated rats for anti-androgen testing, reducing animal stress.
research Prognosis and outcomes of forelimb amputation in two raccoon dogs
Raccoon dogs can adapt well to life with three legs after forelimb amputation.
research Comparative transcriptomic analysis of dermal wound healing reveals de novo skeletal muscle regeneration in Acomys cahirinus
The African spiny mouse can fully regenerate its muscle without scarring, unlike the common house mouse.
research NEONATAL INHIBITION OF ANDROGEN ACTIVITY ALTERS THE PROGRAMMING OF BODY WEIGHT AND OREXINERGIC PEPTIDES DIFFERENTIALLY IN MALE AND FEMALE RATS
Blocking androgen activity in newborn rats affects body weight and appetite-related hormones differently in males and females.
research A missing piece: the spiny mouse and the puzzle of menstruating species
The spiny mouse is a unique menstruating rodent that can help us understand menstruation and reproductive disorders.
research Pododermatitis in farmed mink in Canada
Pododermatitis in farmed mink is likely caused by an unknown infectious agent with secondary bacterial infection.
