Advanced maternal age is a key factor in female infertility, primarily due to declines in ovarian reserve and oocyte quality. However, the metabolic mechanisms underlying reproductive aging are still poorly understood. Here, we show that uridine levels in the plasma and ovaries of aged mice are s...
Genus scallopus(Mizuhopecten yessoensis), a commercially important shellfish species in China, suffers a persistently high post-spawning mortality rate, severely constraining industry development. Thus, this study investigated the physiological and molecular impact of reproductive activity on M. ...
(Background)To investigate the impact of L-arginine (L-Arg) and L-citrulline (L-Cit) on cow reproductive performance.(Methods) 90 healthy, age-matched Simmental cows were randomly assigned to three groups: control, L-Arg, and L-Cit, with 30 cows per group. Estrus synchronization was performed, an...
The gut microbiota plays a vital role in maintaining the physiological function of host health and the pathogenesis of various diseases. However, its relationship with maternal age-associated decline in oocyte quality remains elusive. Here, we report that establishment of gut microbiota from youn...
