Two trials were conducted to evaluate treatments combining progesterone pretreatment and prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) on estrus response, pregnancy and calving rate in heifers. Treatments in Trial 1 were 1) control (T(1); n=59), 2) 25 mg PGF(2alpha) on Day 0 (T(2); n=58), 3) 150 mg

Two experiments were conducted to assess the effect of exogenous hormone treatment on uterine luminal prostaglandin F (PGF). In the first experiment ovariectomized pony mares received either corn oil (21 days, n = 3), estradiol valerate (21 days, n = 3), progesterone (21 days, n = 3) or estradiol

The primary objective was to examine the effects of estradiol and the progesterone receptor antagonist onapristone on the pulsatile secretion of prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) and ovarian and pituitary oxytocin. A 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of estradiol and onapristone treatments was

The effects of dietary marine-derived n-3 fatty acids (FA) on mare milk and mare and foal plasma FA, postpartum ovarian follicular growth and prostaglandin concentrations were evaluated. Sixty days prior to expected foaling dates, mares were assigned to one of three diets: corn oil (CORN, n = 6),

Lipid peroxidation (LPO) is known to be associated with liver fibrosis in chronic liver injury. However, direct effects of the products of LPO on liver fibrogenesis are still not clear. In this study, we examined the LPO products, such as malondiladehyde (MDA), 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha)

During early pregnancy, progesterone stimulates the secretion of proteins and other molecules that support the developing conceptus. Some gilts are able to support conceptus development as early as 110 days of age. The objective of this study was to evaluate the onset of responsiveness of the

Proper myometrial adaptation during gestation is crucial for embryo implantation, pregnancy maintenance and parturition. Previously, we reported that neonatal exposure to endosulfan alters uterine development and induces implantation failures. The present work investigates the effects of endosulfan

To determine whether progesterone facilitates PGF(2)alpha-induced luteolysis prior to day 5 of the estrous cycle, 48 Holstein-Friestian heifers were assigned at random to four treatments: 1) 4 ml corn oil/day + 5 ml Tris-HCl buffer (control); 2) 25 mg prostaglandin F(2)alpha (PGF(2)alpha); 3) 100 mg

This experiment was designed to determine the age at which estradiol-17beta (E(2)) first induces a preovulatory-like surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) in prepubertal heifers. Responses of prepubertal animals 3 to 4 and 5 to 6 months of age were compared with those of postpubertal heifers that
