Ursolic Acid (UA), a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpene, was isolated from Ochrosia elliptica . Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. In this study, we investigate the role of UA in alleviating the symptoms of PCOS, focusing on its biochemical, hormonal, and histopathological effects in a rat model. Using adult fe...

This study evaluated the viability of using groundwater (GW) compared to seawater (SW) in European sea bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax ) aquaculture. Wild broodstock were captured 2 months before spawning and acclimated to tanks with either SW or GW 1 week prior. Females received HCG injections in both water types. Fertilized eggs were collected into six conical tanks supplied with SW or GW. At 7 days post-hatch (dph), larvae were...

Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl . is an evergreen tree that holds economic significance. It is cultivated for its fruits, leaves and ornamental properties. Its propagation by seeds and cuttings is inefficient due to high heterozygosity, lengthy juvenile phase and reproductive cycle. This study establishes a direct in vitro propagation technique for the plant from the mother tree. The impact of different zinc oxide nanoparti...

This study evaluated the effects of dietary organic acid (OA) blend on hemato-immunological responses, reproduction capacity, gene expression, and histological features of red tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus × O. mossambicus ) broodstock. Four diets were formulated, containing 0 (control), 2, 3, and 4 g OAs kg −1 . The diets were fed to triplicate groups ( n = 3) of red tilapia broodstock (75 ± 5.56 g( (mean ± standard deviati...
