  • Gene expression in the peripartum canine placenta

    Creator:
    Fellows, Elizabeth Jane
    Abstract:
    This research investigated gene expression in the canine placenta during the peripartum period. Previous studies have recognized molecular changes that occur in the placenta around the time of placental release in other species, but no study has looked at gene expression in the late gestation canine placenta. Of particular significance...

  • Cellular characteristics of canine trophoblasts

    Creator:
    Sahlfeld, Laura
    Abstract:
    This research investigated the development of a novel canine model to study preeclampsia. Normal canine placental development has morphologic and histologic similarities to the shallow trophoblast invasion occurring with preeclampsia in humans, which makes the dog a particularly good choice for modeling this disease and will be an improvement on...

  • Identification of the plasminogen activator inhibitor produced by the day 14 bovine embryo

    Creator:
    Mendoza, Ruben
    Abstract:
    Day 12-14 bovine embryos produce urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and an uPA-plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) complex. The type of PAI, -1 or -2, in the complex has not been determined therefore the objective of this research was to identify the PAI produced by the Day 14 bovine embryo. In experiment...
