Effect of ovulatory follicle size on bovine pregnancy associated glycoproteins in beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The GnRH-induced ovulation of small dominant follicles was associated with reduced pregnancy rates and late embryonic/fetal survival around the time of embryo-uterine attachment. PAGs are secreted by binucleated trophoblast ... -
Effects of Artemisia afra and Artemisia absinthium on fertility of male mice exposed to increased ambient temperatures for 24 hours
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Males exposed to elevated temperatures display a decrease in reproductive performance resulting in decreased profit for producers. The use of herbs to alleviate the effects of heat in tropical countries has been documented ... -
Efficacy of interferon-stimulated genes and pregnancy-associated glycoproteins for pregnancy diagnosis within an estrus resynchronization protocol for dairy cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Reproductive management is a major economic concern in the dairy industry. Long intervals between TAI increases the days open and decrease the 21 day ... -
The role of cytoplasmic polyadenylation element sequence on mRNA abundance in porcine embryogenesis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Development of a porcine germinal vesicle oocyte (GVO) to a 4-cell stage embryo occurs during a transcriptionally silent period when the oocyte/embryo relies on maternally derived mRNA to encode proteins required for ... -
Transcriptional profiling by deep sequencing indentifies [sic] differences in mRNA transcript abundance in in vivo derived vs. in vitro cultured porcine blastocyst stage embryos
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)In vitro embryo culture systems promote development at rates lower than in vivo. The goal of this project was to discover transcripts that may be responsible for a decrease of embryo competency in blastocyst stage embryos ...
