Temporal effects of fescue toxicosis and heat stress on rat physiology and hepatic gene expression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Fescue toxicosis results from intake of toxins in fescue containing an endophytic fungus, Neotyphodium coenophialum. Time-related changes in rats associated with intake of an endophyte-infected fescue diet (E+) were evaluated under thermoneutral (TN...
An analysis of aspartic peptidases expressed by trophoblasts and placenta of even-toed ungulates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The Pregnancy Associated Glycoproteins (PAGs) represent a multigene family of trophoblast expressed proteins, found exclusively in the placenta of even-toed mammals such as ruminants (cattle, sheep), pig, etc. In ruminants, ...
Gene expression profiling of bovine ovarian follicular selection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Lack of, or abnormal, ovarian follicular development is a major factor associated with impaired fertility in mammals. However, development of new treatments is limited by our poor understanding of ovarian follicular ...
DNA methylation in the early porcine embryo
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, parthenogenetic activation, and somatic cell nuclear transfer are powerful procedures in the production of animals for agriculture, ...
