Seasonal change of circulating leptin associated with testicular activities of the wild ground squirrels (Citellus dauricus)

Wenyang Yu et al.

Summary: The study aimed to explore the relationship between circulating leptin concentrations in wild ground squirrels and seasonal changes in testicular activities. The results revealed that leptin regulates testicular function through the Jak/STAT pathways and expressions of testicular steroidogenic factors.

Estrogen signaling regulates seasonal changes of the prostate in wild ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus)

Haolin Zhang et al.

Summary: This study found that testosterone can be converted to estrogen in the prostate of wild ground squirrels, which affects the function of the prostate gland. The conversion process is likely catalyzed by the enzyme P450arom produced by stromal cells, and regulated by locally expressed estrogen receptors. These findings are important for understanding the seasonal regulation mechanisms in the prostate of wild ground squirrels.

The seasonal profile of proliferation and apoptosis in the prostate gland of the wild ground squirrel (Spermophilus dauricus)

Yi Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that the prostate gland of wild ground squirrels significantly increased in size and weight during the breeding season, with a higher density of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in epithelial cells. However, there was no significant difference in apoptosis staining between breeding and nonbreeding seasons. Key cell cycle regulators mTOR, cyclin-D2, p21, p27, and pRB showed distinct expression patterns between different seasons.

Estrus Synchronization in the Sheep and Goat

Hayder Mohammed Hassan Habeeb et al.

Summary: Sheep and goats exhibit estrus and ovulation during short daylight breeding season but not during long daylight out of season. Each can only have one lamb or kid crop per year, limiting individual productivity and profitability. Using estrus synchronization can increase the number of offspring during the out-of-season period, but ovulation rate and pregnancy rate decrease.

Adipocyte and steroidogenic cell cross-talk in polycystic ovary syndrome

Sebastiao Freitas de Medeiros et al.

Summary: The relationship between adipocytes and steroidogenic cells, specifically in the context of PCOS, involves complex interactions including imbalanced secretion of adipocyte products, which play crucial roles in metabolic and endocrine pathways. Adipocyte products can influence hormone production in the ovaries and adrenal glands, potentially being a key component in the pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Simone C. da Silva Rosa et al.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the physiological effects of adiponectin, as well as recent advances in the regulation of its gene expression, multimerization, secretion, and circulation. It also discusses potential therapeutic approaches and challenges in using adiponectin-based interventions for metabolic-related diseases.

Adiponectin modulates steroid hormone secretion, granulosa cell proliferation and apoptosis via binding its receptors during hens' high laying period

Jing Li et al.

Summary: The study reveals that adiponectin and its receptors play a significant role in regulating steroid synthesis and secretion in ovarian granulosa cells of laying hens. Treatment with AdipoRon can influence hormone levels and key gene expression, indicating its impact on reproductive processes. Additionally, the interaction between AdipoRon and AdipoR2 may lead to a significant decrease in E2 secretion.

Reproductive seasonality in wild northern pig-tailed macaques (Macaca leonina)

Florian Trebouet et al.

Summary: The study found that the reproductive seasonality of macaques is significantly influenced by their latitudinal location. Macaque populations living near the equator tend to exhibit non-seasonal breeding, while strictly seasonal breeding populations are typically found at higher latitudes. There is also a strong phylogenetic signal in reproductive seasonality among macaques.

Seasonal changes of mitochondrial autophagy and oxidative response in the testis of the wild ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus)

Yuhan Wang et al.

Summary: By studying the seasonal changes in mitochondria in the testis of wild ground squirrels, it was found that mitochondrial autophagy and oxidative stress may be involved in the regulation of seasonal reproduction; during the breeding season, mitochondrial-related genes were differentially expressed, key mitophagy factors were highly expressed, and the abundance and enzymatic activities of antioxidative enzymes were decreased, indicating an important role of mitochondria in seasonal reproduction.

Field study reveals morphological and neuroendocrine correlates of seasonal breeding in female water voles, Arvicola terrestris

Kevin Poissenot et al.

Summary: Seasonally breeding water voles exhibit a marked rhythm of reproductive activity, with births concentrated between March and October, showing correlation with environmental control and physiological switches. Changes in reproductive status are associated with seasonal variations in ovary, uterus, gland morphology, as well as kisspeptin expression in the hypothalamus.
