Research NotesOpen accessIn the keywordsHistopathological Characterization and Expression of Vitamin D Receptor in the Prostate of Healthy Dogs and Dogs with Prostatic CarcinomaAkiko Ikeda, Masanori Kobayashi, Tatsuya Hori et al.Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) expression is implicated in human Prostatic Carcinoma (PC), but its role in canine PC is unclear. To investigate how VDR expression is affected by age and castration in healthy dogs and how it changes with PC, we evaluated prostates from 8-month-old (n = 5) or 6-year-old (n = 8) intact males, 1-8-year-old healthy castrated males (n … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2023 · 5,291 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfrared Thermography and Metabolic Changes in Castrated Piglets due to the Effects of Age and the Number of Incisions in the TesticlesEfraín Pérez-Pedraza, Daniel Mota-Rojas, Miguel González-Lozano et al.The objective of the study was to evaluate infrared temperature and metabolic responses in different-aged piglets castrated surgically with one or two incisions. The piglets were divided into groups according to age (5- and 13-day old) and the number of incisions: simulated castration; castration with one incision (C1I5 and C1I13); and castration via two incisions (C2I5 and C2I13). Temperature evaluations … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2018 · 8,177 accessesView PDF Cite
