The Role of Cholesterol during the Ovarian Maturation and Lipid Metabolism of Female Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis) by Huixing Guo, Haokun Hua, Jianfeng Wang, Wei Qiang, Xiaoe Xiang, Wenbin Liu, Guangzhen Jiang

“…Furthermore, compared with control group, the levels of juvenile hormone (JH), 17β-estradiol (E2), methyl farnesoate (MF), and ecdysone in the organism were significantly increased after feeding a diet with 0.27% cholesterol (P<0.05). In summary, supplementing an appropriate amount of cholesterol in the diet can improve the growth performance of Eriocheir sinensis broodstock, enhance the body’s antioxidant and immune system, and promote the accumulation of nutrients in the ovaries, thereby promoting ovarian maturation.…”

Performance of the Illumina GGP Bovine 100K SNP array for buffalo populations genotyping in Colombia by William Burgos-Paz, Yolanda Gómez-Vargas, Edison J. Ramírez-Toro

“…Moreover, 6 and 20 SNPs with FDR 0.05 and 0.1 respectively, were associated with weight at 25 months, Notably, some of these SNPs located in genomic regions harboring genes such as SLC24A4 or RPUSD4 were previously reported associated with conformation traits or feed efficiency in cattle. Considering the current scenario, the cost- benefit ratio analysis favors use of the GGP Bovine 100K array, as an initial strategy to support genetic structure of the populations, parentage testing and future genomic evaluation trials in buffaloes. …”
