This study found that recruiting healthy naturally menopausal women for a DHEA therapy trial was challenged by concerns about hormonal treatments and time constraints, impacting study feasibility.

This study reports the first known occurrence of Leporacarus gibbus infestation alongside Cheyletiella parasitovorax and Psoropotes cuniculi in a domestic rabbit in Espírito Santo, Brazil.

This study found that supplementing Angora goats with whole field bean seeds postpartum did not prevent weight and body condition losses but was associated with improved mohair growth and kid weight gain, likely due to better nutrient partitioning towards lactation and hair growth.

This study found that the pituitary gland is crucial for normal pelage color cycles in weasels, with certain hormones influencing regrowth of pigmented or white hair after molting.

In this study, stray cats in Bogor exhibited skin and fur issues, abnormal respiratory and heart rates likely due to stress, increased eosinophils, low platelet counts suggesting parasitic infestation, and hyposthenuria in urine tests potentially linked to low water intake or fasting.

This study found that activating KATP channels with pinacidil may reduce antioxidant levels and mortality in honey bees, suggesting a role in regulating antiviral immunity through reactive oxygen species.

This study observed that hair cortisol concentrations in primates are influenced by factors such as age, sex, hair growth rates, and sampling methods, which must be accounted for in research designs.

This study analyzed online information about PCOS and found that while the accuracy of the information was generally high, the readability was poor, suggesting a need for more accessible resources for patients.

This study demonstrated the usefulness of fully implantable loggers in measuring heart rate and sub-blubber temperature in captive harbour seals, with findings suggesting lower heart rates during molting and differences in temperature regulation between adults and sub-adults.

This study suggests that simple absolute threshold monitoring rules for compliance using the biomarker DHT perform similarly to more complex methods in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial.

This review discusses the nature, diagnosis, and control of mange in rabbits, focusing on its zoonotic implications and currently available treatment strategies, and reports no clinical results.

In this study, a dietary protein deficiency was identified as the cause of alopecia and weight loss in captive western lowland gorillas, and protein supplementation improved their condition.

This study found that only a small percentage of alopecia areata patients treated with baricitinib in real-world settings would have met the eligibility criteria used in clinical trials.

This paper discusses the methods and challenges of postmarketing surveillance for new antiepileptic drugs, emphasizing the necessity of such data collection to identify adverse effects and assess drug effectiveness beyond initial trials.

This study analyzed stable isotopes in animal fibers from Bronze and Iron Ages sites in Xinjiang, China, revealing that caprines and cattle primarily consumed C3 plants, while some Iron Age individuals showed unusual high C4 plant intake likely linked to millet foddering practices.

This study found that melatonin implants caused male weasels to molt, develop a new white winter coat, and become reproductively inactive, suggesting melatonin affects their neuroendocrine system.

This research outlines a protocol for a systematic review to map the evidence on alopecia areata in Sub-Saharan Africa, aiming to identify research gaps and guide future studies and policy decisions related to this condition in the region.

This case report from the study describes a dog suffering from dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis, presenting with alopecia on the neck and ear, illustrating the zoonotic risk of these fungal infections in both animals and humans, particularly in hot and humid climates.

Under the conditions of this research, Leucaena was generally unpalatable for heifers, caused health issues like goitre and hair loss, and did not significantly increase fertility or productivity.

This case report observed that nutritional adjustments improved alopecia caused by finely ground feed in a flock of sheep.

This study found that social hair plucking in captive rhesus macaques was associated with alopecia and exhibited patterns similar to both prosocial and aggressive behaviors.

This study found that changes in the expression of the Agouti gene contribute to the pale pigmentation in beach mice, with implications for melanocyte development and localization.

This study observed fluctuations in hair cortisol levels in rabbits, indicating their HPA axis activity responded similarly to surgical and environmental stressors, suggesting potential anthropomorphic evaluations of stress.

This study observed that darker hair is typical in wetter regions for the Indriidae family, while within Propithecus, dark black hair is common in colder forests, suggesting evolutionary adaptations to environmental pressures.

This study observed that the development of the pars intermedia in long-tailed macaques is closely associated with changes in skin pigmentation during pre- and postnatal periods through melanocyte-stimulating hormone and ACTH activity.

This study found that the pH dependency of rat steroid 5α-reductase type II isozyme significantly affects its kinetic properties, including Vmax and Km, suggesting past discrepancies in literature may arise from these pH variances during assays.

In this study, a sole diet of Leucaena leucocephala caused hypothyroidism and poor weight gain in steers, but mineral supplementation improved some symptoms without normalizing thyroid hormone levels.

This research review highlights how hair cortisol concentration can reflect the activation of the stress-response system in farm, domestic, and wild animals, noting it correlates with factors like species, sex, age, and environmental conditions, which may influence stress and adaptation.
