The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Kerbala witnessed the discussion of a master’s thesis by student Sahar Saleh Abdul Amir from the Physiology Department, entitled:
‘Association of ovarian failure induced by 4-Vinylcyclohexene Diepoxide on the estrogen receptor BDNF Synaptin and behavioural test in the brain of female rats’
The study aimed to investigate the relationship between ovarian failure induced by 4-Vinylcyclohexene Diepoxide and its effects on estrogen receptors, BDNF, and Synaptic, in addition to behavioral changes in the brains of female laboratory rats.
The results showed that the induction of ovarian failure led to clear changes in the molecular expression of estrogen receptors, BDNF, and Synaptic, in addition to behavioral disorders related to neurological functions, reflecting the close relationship between ovarian failure and brain health.
This study highlights the intertwined effects between the female reproductive system and the central nervous system and the importance of research into finding therapeutic strategies to reduce the complications of premature ovarian failure.
Assistant Professor Dr. Mohammed Asaad Al-Kaabi Dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine praised the importance of the thesis and its solid scientific findings which contribute to broadening the horizons of scientific research in the field of veterinary medicine and medical sciences, emphasizing the faculty’s continued support for outstanding researchers and students.
The discussion committee consisted of the following professors
• Assistant Professor Dr. Mayada Sahib Hassan – Chair
• Professor Dr. Tahir Muhammad Nattah – Member
• Assistant Professor Dr. Khawla Ibrahim Abdul – Member
• Professor Dr. Wafaq Jabouri Muhammad – Member and Supervisor
• Professor Dr. Rana Fadel Musa – Member and Supervisor
At the conclusion of the discussion student Sahar Saleh Abdul Amir was awarded a Master’s degree in Veterinary Science/Physiology with distinction, amid praise from the committee and the audience for her valuable research findings. To see more photos click here
