The present study aimed to determine, in a swine model of leptin resistance, the effects type and timing maternal malnutrition on growth patterns, adiposity metabolic features progeny when exposed an obesogenic diet during their juvenile development possible concomitant offspring sex. Thus, four groups were considered. A CONTROL group involved pigs born from sows fed with fulfilling daily maintenance requirements for pregnancy. treated females same but either 160% or 50% pregnancy entire...

Maternal energy restriction during pregnancy predisposes to metabolic alterations in the offspring. The present study was designed evaluate phenotypic and consequences following maternal undernutrition an obese pig model define potential role of hypothalamic gene expression programming effects. Iberian sows were fed a control or 50 % restricted diet for last two-thirds gestation. Newborns assessed body organ weights, hormonal status, genes implicated homeostasis, glucocorticoid function...

The use of polyphenols is a promising strategy for preventing or alleviating intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) because polyphenol supplementation increases plasma antioxidant capacity and improves oxidative stress at the feto-placental unit; which are recognized as main issues in IUGR. However, there scarcity experimental data on both realistic benefits potential hazards during gestation. Hence, we aimed to swine model IUGR pregnancy determine possible effects maternal with...

Abstract COVID-19 is a zoonotic disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Infections of animals with SARS-CoV-2 have recently been reported, and an increase severe lung pathologies in domestic dogs has also detected veterinarians Spain. Therefore, further descriptions the pathological processes those that show symptoms similar to described humans affected would be highly valuable. The potential for companion contribute continued transmission community spread this known human-to-human urgent issue...

The present study evaluated the effectiveness of sildenafil citrate (SC) to improve placental and fetal growth in a diet-induced rabbit model intrauterine restriction (IUGR).

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes and late-onset diseases in offspring. Eating disorders, voluntary caloric maternal undernutrition can all induce IUGR but a relevant model required to measure its possible consequences. In this work, pregnant rabbits were used as an model. Control females ( n= 4) received ad libitum diet throughout pregnancy, whereas underfed 5) restricted 50% of their daily requirements. Offspring size was measured by...

New Findings What is the central question of this study? effect prepuberal metformin therapy and lifestyle in an obese swine model (Iberian gilts) with thrifty genotype on patterns growth, fattening, metabolic status attainment puberty? main finding its importance? An obesogenic diet had deleterious effects corpulence, adiposity parameters. These features were favourably modulated by adequate treatment, which favoured muscle deposition. However, advanced onset puberty, would be a negative...

The main role of early nutritional programming in the current rise obesity and associated diseases is well known. However, translational studies are mostly based postnatal food excess and, thus, there a paucity information on phenotype individuals with prenatal deficiencies but adequate conditions. Thus, we assessed effects (comparing descendants from females fed diet fulfilling 100 or only 50% their requirements for pregnancy) gene expression, patterns growth fattening, metabolic status...

Chemodectomas are low prevalence tumors with complex clinical management. Many present as an incidental finding however, in other dogs, they produce pericardial effusion and/or compression, leading to the appearance of severe signs. There currently several approaches: surgery, radiotherapy, stent placement and chemotherapy. This is first description percutaneous echo-guided radiofrequency ablation aortic body tumors. minimally invasive treatment based on high frequency alternating electrical...
