Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase and ubiquitin as potential fertility markers in boars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This study was performed to determine whether using high power microscopic analysis and two putative biochemical fertility markers, 15-lipoxygenase ... -
Characterization of a transgenic pig model carrying green fluorescent proteasomes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)The Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) participates in many biological processes involving substrate-specific proteolysis, and can be linked to various pathologies and genetic diseases. Unfortunately, little is known about ... -
Discovery and phenotyping of the determinants and receptors of post-fertilization sperm mitophagy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] This thesis is concerned with two important aspects of sperm physiology -- mitochondrial health prior to fertilization and mitochondrial inheritance after fertilization. The factors and mechanisms ... -
Involvement of mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) in porcine gametogenesis and preimplantation embryo development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Mitochondrial Transcription Factor A (TFAM) is responsible for maintenance and transcriptional control of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). TFAM knockout is embryolethal. We have studied the expression and distribution of TFAM ... -
Negative biomarkers of sperm quality and male fertility
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Semen evaluation via traditional light microscopy provides information about sperm motility and basic morphology but has a limited ability to predict reproductive performance in an assisted reproduction setting. In-depth ...
