Hypothesis

The study aims to develop a new genetic tool to elucidate the biology of Leptospira spp. by assessing promoter activity under defined conditions.

Conclusion

The novel vectors allowed for the in vitro evaluation of L. interrogans promoter activity, demonstrating their suitability for assessing promoter activity in L. biflexa.

Impact of Ovariohysterectomy Timing on Corneal mRNA Levels in Female Rabbits

University of Calgary 2008 n=10 publication Evidence: moderate

Achari Yamini, Reno Carol R., Tsao Helen, Morck Douglas W., Hart David A.

Title

Impact of Ovariohysterectomy Timing on Corneal mRNA Levels in Female Rabbits

Hypothesis

mRNA levels for certain genes will change as a result of the hormonal decline which is a characteristic feature of menopause.

Conclusion

Ovariohysterectomy significantly alters mRNA levels in the central corneal tissues of rabbits, with a more rapid impact observed in mature animals compared to immature ones.
