Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative endocrinology of domestic and nondomestic felids
TL;DR: Current knowledge on the reproductive endocrinology of female domestic and nondomestic cats is summarized, and how the rapidly growing endocrine database is aiding ex situ management efforts is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gap junction communication between uterine stromal cells plays a critical role in pregnancy-associated neovascularization and embryo survival
Mary J. Laws,Robert N. Taylor,Neil Sidell,Francesco J. DeMayo,John P Lydon,David E. Gutstein,Milan K. Bagchi,Indrani C. Bagchi +7 more
TL;DR: This study presents the first evidence that Cx43-type gap junctions play a critical and conserved role in modulating stromal differentiation, and regulate the consequent production of crucial paracrine signals that control uterine neovascularization during implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning, sequence analysis, tissue distribution, and sex-specific expression of the neural form of P450 aromatase in juvenile sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
TL;DR: Analysis of the expression of P450aromB in the brain of juvenile sea bass showed that females exhibited higher mRNA levels than males at 200 days post fertilization (dpf), which may imply differences in the functionality of the enzyme between males and females, suggesting an important role in neurogenesis for brain aromatase in sea bass sex differentiation.
Temperature-dependent sex determination.
TL;DR: In this chapter how the incubation environment affects sex determination in reptiles from a thermal and molecular standpoint is reviewed, and the evolution of TSD is briefly considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals: effects on behavioral development
TL;DR: A series of studies on the effects of exposure during fetal life to low, environmentally relevant doses of two pesticides and methoxychlor and of low doses of the synthetic estrogen, diethylstilbestrol on subsequent neuro-behavioral development in house mice show changes in reflex development.

Seasonal breeding:nature's contraceptive.
G A Lincoln,Roger V. Short +1 more
TL;DR: The seasonal cycle highlights the seasonal changes in daylight length, rutting behavior, testicular diameter, sexual skin flush, and concentrations of plasma follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin, and testosterone in a group of rams throughout the year.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physiological responses of anovulatory ewes to the introduction of rams: a review.
TL;DR: Ewes of many breeds can be stimulated to ovulate by the reintroduction of rams and appear to be effected both through a delay in the onset of the LH surge and through a direct action of progesterone on the ovary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting the secretion of luteinizing hormone in the ewe.
TL;DR: LH is secreted as discrete pulses throughout all stages of the reproductive cycle of the ewe, including pre‐pubertal, seasonal and lactational anoestrus, and the luteal and follicular phases of the oestrous cycle.
Nutritional influences on reproduction in mature male sheep and goats
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that nutritional signals exert powerful effects on the reproductive system of mature male ruminants, and the responses are partly independent of changes in gonadotrophin secretion.
