anti-müllerian hormone (amh) has been observed to decrease with the development of hemorrhagic anovulatory follicles (hafs) in mares. two studies were conducted to evaluate amh concentration in mares with hafs compared to seasonally anoestrous and cyclic mares, and to elucidate changes of amh with the development of luteinised unruptured follicles (lufs). in study 1, amh and progesterone were e...

AIM To investigate the expression of CD56 in dog odontogenesis in order to elucidate the expression found in ameloblastomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Immunohistochemical analysis of CD56 expression of developing dog teeth in the bud, cap and bell stages including the remnants of the dental lamina. RESULTS Weak CD56 expression was observed in the dental epithelium during the bud stage with inte...

The management of facial defects has rapidly changed in the last decade. Functional and esthetic requirements have steadily increased along with the refinements of surgery. In the case of advanced atrophy or jaw defects, extensive horizontal and vertical bone augmentation is often unavoidable to enable patients to be fitted with implants. Loss of vertical alveolar bone height is the most common...

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), a principal modulator of cholinergic neurotransmission, also has been demonstrated to be involved in the morphogenetic processes of neuronal and non-neuronal tissues. This study shows that AChE exhibits temporospatial activity in the dental epithelium of the developing mouse tooth. To identify the AChE activity in the mouse tooth during development, we performed enz...
