TL;DR: Evidence is provided that early feeding with probiotic-supplemented diet increased the number of Ig(+) cells and acidophilic granulocytes in seabream gut and that the effects were more pronounced when administration started during gut metamorphosis, pointing to a stimulatory effect of probiotics on the gut immune system that correlates with improvement of fry survival.

TL;DR: The use of COX-2 specific inhibitors was effective, safe and low cost therapy in the management of pelvic pain associated to endometriosis and might be also proposed in early stage of endometRIosis.

TL;DR: The comparative spermatology of the Cyprinid fishes suggests that the mitochondrial number is a good character, which enables them to order in a phylogenetic arrangement, even if easily recognizable one from the other.

TL;DR: The morphological organization of the male brood pouch skin of three different species of syngnathids, investigated using light and electron microscopy, showed that each pouch had a skin with a different ultrastructure, which reflected different relationships between the paternal body and the developing embryos.

TL;DR: The data support the possibility that vitellogenin transfer to the oocyte may help a retroelement pass to the germ line with no need of its envelope product, and provide evidence that the vesicular traffic and yolk granules in the process of viteLLogenesis play an important role in ZAM transfer toThe oocyte.
