Article Abstract
Hyperproteinemia is a severe metabolic disease characterized by abnormally elevated plasma protein concentrations (PPC). However, there is currently no reliable animal model for PPC, and the pathological mechanism of hyperproteinemia thus remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the effects of hyperproteinemia on reproductive development in an invertebrate silkworm model with a controllable PPC and no primary disease effects. High PPC inhibited the synthesis of vitellogenin and 30K protein essential for female ovarian development in the fat body of metabolic tissues, and inhibited their transport through the hemolymph to the ovary. High PPC also induced programmed cell death in testis and ovary cells, slowed the development of germ cells, and significantly reduced the reproductive coefficient. Furthermore, the intensities and mechanisms of high-PPC-induced reproductive toxicity differed between sexes in this silkworm model.

Article Synopsis
- Intestinal strangulation in cows causes serious obstruction due to constriction from tissue or vessels, and a study observed clinical signs in 60 affected cows.
- Common symptoms included signs of pain, colic, and various digestive issues like reduced motility and faecal output, with serious laboratory findings such as hypokalaemia and acidosis.
- Treatment mostly involved surgical intervention (right flank laparotomy), leading to an 81.7% discharge rate, indicating a generally positive outcome for most cases.
Mechanism of hyperproteinemia-induced damage to female reproduction in a genetic silkworm model.

Hyperproteinemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally elevated plasma protein concentrations (PPC) in humans and animals. Here, a genetic silkworm model with high PPC was employed to investigate the effect of elevated PPC on female reproduction. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that high PPC induces downregulation of the ovarian development-related genes and disrupts ovarian sugar metabolism.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate maternal reproductive performance, body weight, and frequency of external and internal anomalies of newborns of Wistar Audiogenic Rat (WAR) females as compared with Wistar rats. The adult WAR and Wistar rats were mated within their respective strains. After confirming the pregnancy, the body weights were weekly evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- Chlormequat chloride, a common plant growth regulator, was studied for its effects on embryonic and postnatal growth in rats when mothers ingested it during pregnancy at a level considered safe for humans.
- The study found that this chemical increased embryonic growth and levels of growth hormones but did not impact other important growth factors on a specific gestational day.
- In the postnatal pups, notable changes included increased head length, lower body fat, and metabolic issues such as hypoglycemia and hyperlipidemia, suggesting potential risks to both embryo development and postnatal health.
