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, ... -
Analysis of transcript abundance of uterine genes after application of bovine pregnancy associated glycoproteins to endometrial explants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) belong to the aspartic protease family and are expressed exclusively by trophoblasts of even-toed ungulates. ... -
Comparative transcriptional profiling of the uterus according to stage of the estrous cycle and pregnancy status in gilts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)In most mammals, female reproductive tracts undergo extensive tissue remodeling throughout the estrous cycle and during pregnancy that arise in response to an array of endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine signals. These ... -
Envelopment of a fibroblast growth factor 21 assay
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Obesity and diabetes play a major role in many diseases prevalent in our current society. Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) is a recently discovered hormone that has potential for therapeutic treatment of obesity and ... -
The inhibition of cysteine peptidases improves in vitro maturation of porcine cumulus-oocyte-complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The cell permeable cysteine peptidase inhibitor, E-64, has shown utility as a potent and irreversible inhibitor for many cysteine proteases. Consequently, ...
