EFFECTIVNESS OF THE GNRH ANALOGUE DESLORELIN AS A REVERSIBLE CONTRACEPTIVE IN A NEOTROPICAL PRIMATE, THE COMMON MARMOSET CALLITHRIX JACCHUS (MAMMALIA: PRIMATES: CALLITRICHIDAE)

Effectivness of the GnRH analogue deslorelin as a reversible contraceptive in a neotropical primate, the Common Marmoset Callithrix Jacchus (Mammalia: Primates: Callitrichidae)

Deslorelin is a synthetic GnRH analogue, which is being used as a contraceptive in animals by acting as a gonadal suppressant.The product Suprelorin (Virbac, Australia) contains deslorelin as a biocompatible, slow release subcutaneous implant.The continuous release of deslorelin provokes a down-regulation of GnRH receptors, and subsequently, inhibi

MAp34 Regulates the Non-specific Cell Immunity of Monocytes/Macrophages and Inhibits the Lectin Pathway of Complement Activation in a Teleost Fish

The lectin pathway of the complement system is one of the main components of innate immunity, which plays a pivotal role in the defense against infectious microorganisms and maintains immune homeostasis.However, its control mechanisms remain unclear in teleost fish.In this study, we described the identification and functional characterization of a
