High frequency in vitro plantlet regeneration and antioxidant activity of Enicostema axillare(Lam.) Raynal ssp. littoralis (Blume) Raynal: An important medicinal plant
Conclusion The present study not only enables reinforcement of wild plant populations using ex situ growth of individuals, but it also helps for high scale production of plantlets. A high correlation between antioxidant capacities and their total phenolic contents indicated that flavonoid compounds were a major contributor of antioxidant activity of both plants grown from nature and nodal culture.

The pattern of non-obstetric fistula: A Cameroonian experience
Conclusion UGF fistula is the main type of NOGF in Cameroonian context, with hysterectomy being the leading cause. Proper knowledge on NOGF will enable better strategies to fight against genital fistula. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

Differences in the activity of prolactin cells in male and female fresh water teleost Mastacembelus armatus (Lacepede) during gonadal cycle
Conclusion Difference in the activity of PRL cells was noted between male and female M. armatus. It act as hypercalcemic factor in females whose level increase along with maturation of ovary with the influence of increasing level of 17 β-estradiol from ovarian follicles to fulfill the increased demand of calcium for vitellogenesis and thus directly effecting reproduction. No such role of prolactin was observed for male fishes. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

Influence of growth hormone on growth and onset of puberty of Rahmani ewe lamb
Conclusion Somatotropin administration enhanced puberty in Rahmani ewe lambs. This is due to increased provision of trophic signals (represented by increased Serum IGF-1 secretions) and/or blood-borne metabolites (glucose, cholesterol and lipid). (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

Activity of antioxidative enzymes in fresh and frozen thawed buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) spermatozoa in relation to lipid peroxidation and semen quality
Conclusion It was concluded that loss of activity of intracellular antioxidative enzymes was evident after freezing and thawing and there was a strong association between the antioxidative enzyme activities, ROS, lipid peroxidation and sperm function in buffalo semen.

Studies on effect of different seasons on expression of HSP70 and HSP90 gene in sperm of Tharparkar bull semen
Conclusion It was concluded from the present study that there was no significant difference in the mRNA expression of HSP 70 and HSP 90 between the winter and summer season, presence of similar type of stress resistant spermatozoa in Tharparkar bull semen and the semen can be cryopreserved throughout the year in this prestigious Indian breed.

Age–related rump fat, fat percent, body fat mass, leptin, androgens and semen parameters of Arab stallions
Conclusion This study proved that aging in stallions is related to a drop in fertility, a decrease in body fat and in turn leptin. Arab stallions of age 7 to 18 years could be used in the breeding efficiently. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

Intermedin inhibits norepinephrine-induced contraction of rat seminal vesicle
Conclusion The results demonstrated that the inhibitory action of IMD on NE-induced seminal vesicle contraction was mediated via the ADM receptor(s) and the nitric oxide production pathway, partially by the IMD receptor, but not by the CGRP receptor and the cAMP-PKA pathway.

Basal serum anti-müllerian hormone and antral follicle count are predictors of ovarian response for Asian women in Singapore
Conclusion Both basal serum AMH and AFC were reliable ovarian reserve markers for predicting poor and high ovarian response to COS in Asian women. Basal AMH was the only significant predictor for clinical pregnancy outcome. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)
