Morphological study of equine amniotic compartment

Aliai Lanci et al.

Summary: This study described the morphology of equine amniotic fluid and amniotic membrane using light and electron microscopy for the first time, revealing the composition of cells and structures. This could contribute to a better understanding of the changes in AF cells during pregnancy and the potential role of AM as a secondary source of pulmonary surfactant in horses.

Hair Cortisol and DHEA-S in Foals and Mares as a Retrospective Picture of Feto-Maternal Relationship under Physiological and Pathological Conditions

Aliai Lanci et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate hormone concentrations in the hair of mares and foals in relation to their clinical parameters. The results showed that mare's endocrine setting influences hormone concentrations in foal's hair, and foals with different clinical conditions have different hormone concentrations. Furthermore, hormone concentrations in the hair of mares hospitalized for attended parturition did not differ from those at the breeding farm.

Relationship between thyroid hormones and central nervous system metabolism in physiological and pathological conditions

Nadia Sawicka-Gutaj et al.

Summary: Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in regulating energy metabolism and influencing the functioning of the central nervous system (CNS). Research has shown a correlation between thyroid function and CNS symptoms, as well as the impact of thyroid hormones on the pathogenesis of CNS diseases. Novel options for treating these conditions with thyroid hormone derivatives are being explored.

Pleiotropic activity of nerve growth factor in regulating cardiac functions and counteracting pathogenesis

Ewa Pius-Sadowska et al.

Summary: Cardiac innervation density reflects the levels of nerve growth factor (NGF) produced by the heart, with changes in NGF expression affecting neuronal remodelling in the heart and vasculature. NGF synthesis and release are altered under different pathological conditions, and its effects extend beyond neuronal survival to beneficial actions on cardiomyocytes and modulation of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Understanding the diverse functions of NGF may be crucial for developing novel therapeutic strategies.

Activities of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and-9 in amniotic fluid at parturition in mares with normal and high-risk pregnancy

Nicola Ellero et al.

Summary: This study investigated the activity of MMP-2 and -9 in amniotic fluid collected from mares with normal or high-risk pregnancies. The results showed that high-risk pregnancies led to decreased MMP-2 activity and increased MMP-9 activity. These findings provide important clues for further understanding the role of MMPs in equine pregnancy.
