• Goats as Valuable Animal Model to Test the Targeted Glutamate Supplementation upon Antral Follicle Number, Ovulation Rate, and LH-Pulsatility 

  Luna-García, Luis A.; Meza-Herrera, César A.; Pérez-Marín, C.C.; Corona, Rebeca; Luna Orozco, Juan R.; Véliz-Deras, Francisco G.; Delgado-Gonzalez, Ramón; Rodriguez-Venegas, Rafael; Rosales-Nieto, César A.; Bustamante Andrade, Jorge A.; Gutiérrez-Guzmán, Ulises N. (MDPI, 2022)

  The potential effect of intravenous administration of glutamate on the ovarian activity and the LH secretion pattern, considering the anestrous yearling goat as an animal model, were assessed. In late April, yearling goats ...

• Parasympathetic Tone Changes in Anesthetized Horses after Surgical Stimulation, and Morphine, Ketamine, and Dobutamine Administration 

  Ruiz López, Patricia de la Paz; Morgaz Rodríguez, Juan; Quirós Carmona, Setefilla; Navarrete Calvo, Rocío; Domínguez Pérez, Juan Manuel; Gómez-Villamandos, R.J.; Granados Machuca, Mª del Mar (MDPI, 2022)
