Oxytocin synthesis and release by the bovine corpus luteum

Creator:: Abdelgadir, Salaheldin Eltigani
Abstract:: Four experiments were conducted to determine oxytocin concen tration of bovine luteal tissue at different stages of the estrous cycle and to study the effects of prostaglandins F₂α (PGF₂α), E₂ (PGE₂), luteinizing hormone (LH), cycloheximide, colchicine and cytochalasin B on oxytocin synthesis and release in vitro. In experiment 1, luteal...

Nongenomic action of progesterone inhibits oxytocin signaling through the ovine oxytocin receptor

Creator:: Bishop, Cecily V.
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to characterize the nongenomic effects of progesterone (P4) on binding of oxytocin (OT) to the ovine oxytocin receptor (OTR) and signal transduction. The dose-response relationship of P4 to OT binding to the OTR in endometrium was examined. Progesterone interfered with the binding of OT to the OTR...

Plasma membrane composition and luteinizing hormone receptors of ovine corpora lutea during early pregnancy

Creator:: Zelinski, Mary Beth
Abstract:: The lipid composition of plasma membranes of corpora lutea was examined to determine whether changes in this organelle occur during regression and early pregnancy in the ewe. Forty ewes were assigned to be necropsied on days 13 or 15 of the estrous cycle (D13-NP and D15-NP) or pregnancy (D13-P and...

Factors affecting prolactin secretion in the African elephant

Creator:: Bechert, Ursula S.
Abstract:: Prolactin (PRL) is a peptide hormone that is involved in a number of diverse physiologic roles, particularly with respect to reproduction, including: influencing sexual and parental behaviors, onset of puberty, regulation of seasonal reproduction, follicular maturation, ovulation, luteinization and corpus luteum (CL) function, steroidogenesis, mammary gland development and lactation, testicular...

Intrauterine migration of the porcine embryo

Creator:: Pope, William Frederick
Abstract:: The mechanism(s) involved with intrauterine migration of the porcine embryo was investigated. Twenty-four gilts on Days 6, 9 and 12 of gestation (Day 0 = 1st day of estrus) were utilized to examine the relationship between myometrial activity and intrauterine migration. On Day 2, embryos were flushed from one oviduct...

Utilization of lipid by primiparous beef heifers during the postpartum period

Creator:: Filley, Shelby Jean
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Embryonic mortality in pubertal gilts

Creator:: Archibong, Anthony Effanga
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to compare the reproductive performance and serum concentrations of progesterone and estrogen of mated first (n=18) and third (n=18) estrous gilts slaughtered in equal numbers on days 3, 15 and 30 postmating. Fertilization rate did not differ between mated first and third estrous gilts. Embryonic survival...

Altered ovarian and uterine function in response to intravascular infusion of long chain fatty acids in nonpregnant ewes

Creator:: Burke, Joan M.
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: , research has shown a reduction of LH-induced hyperemic response in rabbits (Lee and Novy, 1978), a

Endocrinology of fur growth and reproduction in mink

Creator:: Rose, William Jackson
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to determine: 1) the effects of exogenous melatonin and reduced photoperiod on molting and growth of the winter pelage (fur) and 2) whether changes in serum prolactin levels of treated and control mink during this same period were correlated with growth of winter fur. Adult and kit...

Involvement of myristoylated alanine-rich c kinase substrate (MARCKS) protein in prostaglandin F2α- induced secretion of oxytocin by the bovine corpus luteum

Creator:: Salli, Ugur
Abstract:: Prostaglandin F₂α (PGF₂α), a stimulatory hormone of luteal oxytocin secretion, is known to activate protein kinase C (PKC); however, the intracellular signals that promote exocytosis of oxytocin remain to be elucidated. Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), a protein specifically phosphorylated by PKC, crosslinks actin filaments associated with the inner...
