Sexually Different Parental Inputs in Pheasant-tailed Jacanas and the Correlates with Brood Success Open
Synopsis Parental care and territoriality are crucial components for the success of avian reproduction. Biparental care with female-biased efforts prevails in avian species, whereas breeding territories in most birds are male- or bisexual-…

Oligonol®, an Oligomerized Polyphenol from Litchi chinensis, Enhances Branched-Chain Amino Acid Transportation and Catabolism to Alleviate Sarcopenia Open
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are essential for muscle protein synthesis and are widely acknowledged for mitigating sarcopenia. Oligonol® (Olg), a low-molecular-weight polyphenol from Litchi chinensis, has also been found to attenuate…
