Change of sensitivity in reproductive organs afterhypophysectomy

Development of the reproductive organs.

Understanding of the development of the reproductive organs is essential to the evaluation of abnormalities in sexual differentiation. Recent advances resulting from application of genetic, biochemical, and ultrastructural techniques have helped to clarify the mechanisms regulating gonadal and reproductive tract development. The present review considers the major processes of sexual differentia...

Selenium in human male reproductive organs.

The objective of the study was to obtain information on the concentration and distribution of selenium throughout the human male reproductive tract. Material was removed at autopsy from 41 men who had died suddenly and unexpectedly.

Investigation of DNA Integration into Reproductive Organs Following Intramuscular Injection of DNA in Mice

Background: DNA immunization with plasmid DNA encoding bacterial, viral, parasitic, and tumor antigens has been reported to trigger protective immunity. The use of plasmid DNA vaccinations against many diseases has produced promising results in animal and human clinical trials; however, safety concerns about the use of DNA vaccines exist, such as the possibility of integration into the host gen...

Oestrus Duration and Status of Reproductive Organs in Repeat Breeding Cows

The present study was conducted to see the effect of non-specific genital infections and ovulatory disturbances on clinical signs of oestrusnamely oestrus duration, tonicity of uterus, relaxation of cervix and persistence of follicle. The mean values of oestrus duration, tonicity of uterus and relaxation of cervix varied significantly (P
