Circulating miRNome of Trachemys scripta after elective gonadectomy under general anesthesia

Abstract Post-surgical management is an important issue in veterinary medicine, requiring biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity for timely and effective treatment. Emerging evidence suggests that miRNAs are promising stress- and pain-related markers. The aims were to profile the circulati...

Circulating miRNome of Trachemys scripta after elective gonadectomy under general anesthesia
description Abstract Post-surgical management is an important issue in veterinary medicine, requiring biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity for timely and effective treatment.
