Cumulus cell expansion, nuclear maturation and embryonic development of bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes matured in varying concentrations of follicular fluid. by Verónica M Negrón-Pérez, Abdullah Al Naib, Abigail L Zezeski, Victoria L McCracken-Harlow, George A Perry, Alan D Ealy, Michelle L Rhoads

“…Images of individual COCs were captured at 0, 6, 12 and 19 hours (h) of the maturation period and analyzed to calculate change in the total area over time. Cumulus cell expansion was greatest in COCs matured in 75% and 50% FF, and these differences were detectable at 12 (75% FF only) and 19 h (50% and 75% FF) of maturation. …”

The growth–environment nexus amid geopolitical risks: cointegration and machine learning algorithm approaches by Md. Idris Ali, Md. Atikur Rahaman, Mohammed Julfikar Ali, Md. Ferdausur Rahman

“…To bridge this gap, this study examines the role of per capita income on environmental outcomes under the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework, explicitly incorporating geopolitical risks as a critical determinant. Using Canadian time series data spanning from 1980 to 2022, this research employs the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) estimation technique to explore short- and long-term cointegrating relationships among key variables, including economic growth, energy consumption, trade openness, foreign direct investment (FDI), ICT development, and financial development. …”

Effects of White Quinoa Polysaccharide on Regulation of Glucolipid Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetic Mice by Yanqing ZANG, Yingying CHUANG, Changyuan WANG, Yang CAO

“…Results showed that compared with diabetic mice, WQP intake could significantly inhibit the increase of body weight and FBG, improve OGTT, and alleviate insulin resistance in diabetic mice. At the same time, the total cholesterol (TC) content of diabetic mice decreased by 19%, and the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) content decreased by 33%. …”
