Efforts to identify large offspring syndrome during pregnancy through ultrasonography and maternal blood transcriptome analyses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Large offspring syndrome (LOS) is a fetal overgrowth condition observed in some bovine offspring produced in vitro. The main phenotypes of LOS is large body size due to overgrowth during development which can result in ...
Generation of a reference genome to investigate population fitness and transitional cell carcinoma occurrence in the fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Many species are vulnerable or on the verge of extinction as a result of increased habitat degradation and fragmentation. Conservation genetics has attempted to apply an understanding of species genetics to reduce the risk ...
Development and analysis of a FOXA2 conditional overexpression mouse model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The uterus is essential for mammalian reproduction as it provides environment for conceptus implantation and subsequent development. Endometrial glands synthesize and secrete or transport substances critical for conceptus ...
New perspective on the role of conceptus estrogens in conceptus development, maternal recognition, and the establishment of pregnancy in pigs.
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The proposed signal for maternal recognition of pregnancy in pigs is estrogen, produced by the elongating conceptus. To understand the role of estrogen in porcine conceptus elongation and pregnancy establishment, a loss ...
Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This thesis examines ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution, particularly where they can improve livestock production systems. We performed an experiment that estimated ruminal in situ degradation parameter values of ...
Biology of uterine glands : impact on reproductive function
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Pregnancy loss is the most common complication of human gestation, and roughly one-half of conceptions result in pregnancy loss, most frequently in the first two weeks...
