  • Fecal progestins in the early gestation ewe monitored by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

    Creator:
    Miller, Charles W.
    Abstract:
    Previous work in this laboratory revealed that hormone analysis using fecal samples may predict the number of fetuses carried by pregnant ewes at mid- to late gestation. Reliable lambing number prediction is useful to the producer. Using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry the 5α- and 5β-series of pregnanes and selected 4- and...

  • 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...

  • Effects of alfalfa on uterine growth of ovariectomized prepubertal ewe lambs

    Creator:
    Sexson, Clinton
    Abstract:
    Alfalfa accumulates phytoestrogens and when ingested binds the estrogen receptor and induces morphological changes similar to endogenous estrogens. The objective of this study is to evaluate morphological changes in uteri, vulva, and teats of ovariectomized prepubertal ewe lambs. Eighteen prepubertal ewe lambs were ovariectomized in November 2000 and fed nonestrogenic...
