Autoimmunization of Ewes Against Pregnancy-associated Glycoproteins Does Not Interfere with the Establishment and Maintenance of Pregnancy
(Animal, 2009)Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) are a large grouping of placental proteins that belong to the aspartic peptidase gene family. Although useful to detect pregnancy in ruminant species, the function of these molecules ... -
Nutritional Skewing of Conceptus Sex in Sheep: Effects of a Maternal Diet Enriched in Rumen-Protected Polyunsaturated Fatty acids (PUFA)
(Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2008)Evolutionary theory suggests that in polygynous mammalian species females in better body condition should produce more sons than daughters. Few controlled studies have however tested this hypothesis and controversy exists ... -
Combinatorial Roles of Protein Kinase A, Ets2 and CBP/p300 in the Transcriptional Control of Interferon-tau Expression in a Trophoblast Cell Line
(Molecular Endocrinology, 2008-02)In ruminants, conceptus interferon-tau (IFNT) production is necessary for maintenance of pregnancy. We examined the role of protein kinase A (PKA) in regulating IFNT expression through the activation of Ets2 in JAr ... -
Proteasomal Interference Prevents Zona Pellucida Penetration and Fertilization in Mammals
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, Inc., 2004-07)The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has been implicated in the penetration of ascidian vitelline envelope by the fertilizing spermatozoon (Sawada et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2002; 99:1223-1228). The present study provides ...
