Immunocastration reduces aggressive and sexual behaviour in male pigs.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) vaccine, Improvac™ (Pfizer Ltd), in suppressing aggressive and sexual behaviour of male pigs. One hundred and thirty-six pigs were assigned to three treatments: entire male pigs (n = 64), immunocastration against GnRH (n = 48) and surgical castration (n = 24). Surgical castration was performed bef...
متن کاملElimination of aggressive behavior in male mice lacking endothelial nitric oxide synthase.
Male mice with targeted deletion of the gene encoding the neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS(-/-)) display increased aggressive behavior compared with wild-type (WT) mice. Specific pharmacological inhibition of nNOS with 7-nitroindazole also augments aggressive behavior. We report here that male mice with targeted deletion of the gene encoding endothelial NOS (eNOS(-/-)) display dr...
متن کاملHydrolyzed casein reduces diet-induced obesity in male C57BL/6J mice.
The digestion rate of dietary protein is a regulating factor for postprandial metabolism both in humans and animal models. However, few data exist about the habitual consumption of proteins with different digestion rates with regard to the development of body mass and diet-induced obesity. Here, we used a factorial ANOVA design to investigate the effects of protein form (intact vs. hydrolyzed c...
متن کاملElimination of macrophage-specific apolipoprotein E reduces diet-induced atherosclerosis in C57BL/6J male mice.
Apolipoprotein (apo)E is synthesized in atherosclerotic lesions by macrophages, however, its role in lesions is not known. Whereas apoE could exacerbate atherosclerosis by promoting macrophage uptake of cholesterol-rich lipoproteins or modulating protective inflammatory responses, it could also restrict lesion formation by facilitating cholesterol efflux out of lesions. The role of apoE was exa...
متن کاملTeasaponin reduces inflammation and central leptin resistance in diet-induced obese male mice.
Chronic inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Recently teasaponin, an extract from tea, has been shown to have antiinflammatory effects. We examined the effect of teasaponin on obesity, inflammation, glucose metabolism, and central leptin sensitivity in obese mice fed a high-fat (HF) diet for 16 weeks. Intraperitoneal injections of teasaponin (10 mg/kg, da...
