High MEI treatment pullets had 2.3-fold higher GnRH and 1.8-fold higher GnRH-RI mRNA levels than low MEI pullets. MEI affected neither expression of GnIH and GnIH-R nor carcass protein content. For high MEI (489 kcal/D) and low MEI treatments (258 kcal/D), respectively, from 22 to 26 wk of age (P ≤ 0.05), LH concentration was 3.05 and 1.60 ng/mL; FSH concentration was 145 and 89.3 pg/mL; E2 concentration was 429 and 266 pg/mL, and carcass lipid was 13.9 and 10.3%. The onset of lay for pullets in the high MEI treatment advanced such that 100% had laid by 26 wk of age compared with 30% in the low MEI treatment. We concluded that higher MEI advanced the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and also increased body lipid deposition, and moreover, stimulated reproductive hormone levels which overall accelerated puberty in broiler breeder pullets. Leghorn chickens are used as a preclinical model of ovarian cancer as they develop epithelial ovarian adenocarcinoma spontaneously at a very high frequency. Ovarian cancer is the most lethal disease among all gynecological malignancies in women. A small proportion of ovarian cancer stem cells are responsible for drug resistance and relapse of ovarian cancer. The objectives of this study are to isolate ovarian cancer stem cells from ascites of Leghorn chickens that spontaneously developed ovarian cancer and to determine their invasiveness, spheroid formation in three-dimensional culture devoid of extracellular matrix over several months. Ovarian cancer cells obtained from ascites were subjected to ALDEFLOUR assay that measures aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity to separate ALDH1+ and ALDH1- cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The cells were cultured using serum-free media for up to 6 mo in ultra-low attachment plates. Invasiveness of ALDH1+
