This study examined the effects of subclinical pregnancy toxemia (SPT) on follicular development and evaluated the protective potential of dietary L-carnitine supplementation in ewes. Eighteen crossbred Hamdani ewes underwent estrous synchr…

The litter trait is one of the most important economic traits, and increasing litter size is of great economic value in the pig industry. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying pig litter traits remain elusive. To identify molecular m…

Although ovine puberty initiation has been previously studied, the mechanism by which the RNA-binding protein Lin28B affects this process has not been investigated. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of Lin28B overexpression…

To examine the possible miRNA molecular regulatory mechanisms during maternal uterine involution after delivery, we selected ovary and uterus tissues that are structurally connected as experimental materials. We employed Illumina HiSeq sequ…
