Heritable, differential gene expression in pre-implantation embryos from rats with endometriosis and their daughters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Endometriosis, which affects millions of women, is a condition where the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus and is associated with subfertility and pain. One cause...
Determination of allelic expression of H19 in pre- and peri-implantation mouse embryos
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
H19 is a maternally-expressed imprinted non-coding RNA with tumor suppressor activity. H19 is located in an imprinted cluster which contains the paternally-expressed fetal growth factor Igf2. Monoallelic expression of H19 ...
Influence of subclinical hypocalcemia on plasma biochemical parameters, liver histologic changes, and common postpartum diseases in dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
We hypothesized that cows with subclinical hypocalcemia at calving would have greater elevations in liver associated biochemical parameters and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations compared to normocalcemic cows. ...
Investigation of methods and factors influencing mouse oocyte quality, in vitro fertilization and embryo development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Mice are one of the most commonly used rodent species as a model for biomedical research to better understand molecular, genetic, and cellular causes of human disease and disorders. The production of good quality oocytes ...
Alleviation of heat stress with Tasco in dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The present study determined the impact of Tasco, Ascophyllum nodosum, on heat stress in dairy cows. Thirty-two Holstein cows were utilized in a randomized complete block design, during 63 days in summer 2008. Feed intake, ...
