Journal ArticleDOI
The role of essential trace elements in embryonic and fetal development in livestock.
TL;DR: Elucidating the mechanisms whereby conceptus development and survival are enhanced by essential trace minerals may lead to development of specific feeding programs to increase the number and health of offspring at parturition, thereby allowing for further improvements in production efficiency in animal agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ovine interferon-tau regulates expression of endometrial receptors for estrogen and oxytocin but not progesterone.
Thomas E. Spencer,Willard C. Becker,Philip George,Mark A. Mirando,Thomas F. Ogle,Fuller W. Bazer +5 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the antiluteolytic effects of oIFN-tau are to suppress endometrial ER gene expression in theendometrial epithelium, thereby inhibiting formation of OTR and production of luteolyic PGF2 alpha pulses is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of 16- to 20-kilodalton (kDa) connective tissue growth factors (CTGFs) and demonstration of proteolytic activity for 38-kDa CTGF in pig uterine luminal flushings.
DeAnna K. Ball,Gulnar A. Surveyor,Gulnar A. Surveyor,John R. Diehl,Christy L. Steffen,Christy L. Steffen,Mehmet Uzumcu,Mark A. Mirando,David R. Brigstock +8 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that bioactive 10- to 20-kDa CTGF proteins are generated in utero through limited proteolysis of the 38-k da CTGF primary translational product.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of the uterine Mx protein in cyclic and pregnant cows, gilts, and mares.
B. A. Hicks,S. J. Etter,K. G. Carnahan,M. M. Joyce,A. A. Assiri,S. J. Carling,K. Kodali,G. A. Johnson,Thomas R. Hansen,Mark A. Mirando,G. L. Woods,Dirk K. Vanderwall,Troy L. Ott +12 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that Mx functions as a conceptus-induced component of the anti-luteolytic mechanism and/or regulator of endometrial secretion or uterine remodeling during early pregnancy, and expression is upregulated during pregnancy in cows and gilts--animals whose conceptuses secrete interferons during earlyregnancy, but that possess different mechanisms for pregnancy recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement characteristics of boar sperm obtained from the oviduct or hyperactivated in vitro.
TL;DR: It was concluded that, although few hyperactivated boar sperm could be recovered from the oviduct, Boar sperm are capable of undergoing hyperactivation.
