Effects of conjugated linoleic acids on PGE₂, PGF₂α and progesterone production by bovine luteal cells in vitro

Creator:

May, Katherine C. P.

Abstract:

Feeding conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) improves reproductive performance in dairy cows; however, the molecular mechanisms by which CLA improves reproduction are not well understood. Therefore, we evaluated whether the CLA isomers, trans-10, cis-12 CLA and cis-9, trans-11 CLA altered synthesis of steroidogenic hormones in bovine luteal cells by measuring concentrations...

The role of the plasminogen activator system in the etiology of ovarian follicular cysts in dairy cattle

Creator:

McNeel, Anthony Kent

Abstract:

Cystic ovarian disease (COD) is an anovulatory condition in cattle that afflicts between 6-18% of all dairy cows in the US. Ovulation is dependent on the plasminogen activator (PA) family of proteases and protease inhibitor for proteolysis, culminating in follicular rupture. Failure of the follicle to ovulate suggests an aberration...
