EFFECTS OF LEVOTHYROXINE ADMINISTRATION ON OVULATION RATE AND SEX HORMONE LEVELS IN PREPUBERTAL AND ADULT RATS
Thyroid gland dysfunction is associated with disorders of female reproductive functions. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of hyperthyroidism on ovulation rate and peripheral sex steroid levels in prepubertal and adult rats. Two groups of female rats aging 30 days (prepubertal rats) and 60 days (adult rats) were made hyperthyroid by oral administration of levothyroxine daily...
متن کاملEffect of selection for litter size and body weight on hormone-induced ovulation rate in mice.
Genetic differences in natural vs hormone-induced ovulation rates were compared in immature female mice from five lines that had undergone long-term single-trait and antagonistic index selection for litter size and(or) 6-wk BW. Lines used were control (K); high litter size (L+); high BW (W+); low litter size and high BW (L-W+); and high litter size and low BW (L+W-). Natural ovulation rate at a...
متن کاملMapping genes that contribute to daunorubicin-induced cytotoxicity.
Daunorubicin is an anthracycline antibiotic agent used in the treatment of hematopoietic malignancies. Toxicities associated with this agent include myelosuppression and cardiotoxicity; however, the genes or genetic determinants that contribute to these toxicities are unknown. We present an unbiased genome-wide approach that incorporates heritability, whole-genome linkage analysis, and linkage-...
متن کاملIncreased Ovulation Rate at the Ram-induced Ovulation and Its Commercial Application
There is evidence that the ovulation rate (number of ovulations per ewe ovulating) of successfully teased ewes was increased relative to that of their second ovulation or relative to spontaneously ovulating flock mates. The effect was observed in Merino, Prealpes and Ile-de-France breeds and may have been prevented in ewes primed with progestagen before the introduction of rams (Oldham and Cogn...
متن کاملMapping the genes that made maize.
George Beadle proposed that the striking morphological differences between cultivated maize and its probable wild progenitor (teosinte) were initiated by a small number of mutations with large effects on adult morphology. Recent genetic analyses using molecular markers provide some support for this view and show where in the maize genome the putative loci are likely to be located. This work set...
