the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
Developmental changes of connexin40 and connexin43 mRNA distribution patterns in the rat heart.
OBJECTIVES Gap junctions have been demonstrated ultrastructurally in cardiac regions where connexin40 (Cx40) and connexin43 (Cx43) protein could not be detected immunohistochemically. We investigated therefore the distribution of their mRNAs with more sensitive techniques. METHODS In situ hybridizations with Cx40 and Cx43 cRNA probes were performed on sections of rat hearts from 9 embryonic d...
متن کاملDevelopmental Neurobiology of the Rat Attachment System and Its Modulation by Stress
Stress is a powerful modulator of brain structure and function. While stress is beneficial for survival, inappropriate stress dramatically increases the risk of physical and mental health problems, particularly when experienced during early developmental periods. Here we focus on the neurobiology of the infant rat's odor learning system that enables neonates to learn and approach the maternal o...
متن کاملEffect of Chronic Intracerebroventricluar Administration of Lipopolysaccharide on Connexin43 Protein Expression in Rat Hippocampus
Background: Hippocampal damages, which are accompanied by inflammation, are among the main causes of epilepsy acquisition. We previously reported that chronic intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) modulates epileptogenesis in rats. There is a network of gap junction channels in the hippocampus that contribute to epileptogenesis. Gap junction channels are formed ...
متن کاملMelatonin Improves The Developmental Competence of Goat Oocytes
Objective DNA methylation is one the epigenetic mechanisms, which is critically involved in gene expression. This phenomenon is mediated by DNA methyl-transferases and is affected by environmental stress, including in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes. Melatonin, as an antioxidant, may theoretically be involved in epigenetic regulation via reductions of reactive oxygen species. This study was p...
