Effect of Pre-Pubertal Plan of Nutrition on Reproductive Performance, Hormone Concentrations and Milk Production in Kurdish Female Lambs
To determine the value of pre-pubertal plan of nutrition on reproductive performance, hormonal concentrations and milk production in ewe lambs, a total of 40 clinically health Kurdish female lambs (30±8.6 d and weighing 10.2±3.4 kg) were randomly allocated to one of two experimental diets in pre-weaning period: high quality diet (HQD) (HQD, 2.50 Mcal ME/kg dry matter (DM) and 148 g CP/kg DM) or...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases as mediators of reproductive function.
The organs of the adult reproductive system can undergo extensive remodelling, experiencing rapid changes in tissue mass and function. Much of this matrix remodelling is attributed to the action of matrix metalloproteinases. Matrix metalloproteinase family members are expressed in a highly-regulated manner in many reproductive processes, including menstruation, ovulation, implantation, and uter...
متن کاملDevelopment of low-dose reproductive hormone therapies in China.
A historical account is presented of the development of sex hormone treatment from its beginning at the Peking Union Medical College to its present-day generalization throughout China. The general theme of this work has been to test low-dose hormone regimens. Notable successes include low-dose oral contraception and menopausal hormone treatment. In support of the latter, we present a new clinic...
متن کاملAssessment of reproductive function in southern African spiny mice (Acomys spinosissimus) using faeces as hormone matrix
For spiny mice, detailed long-term data on reproductive endocrine function is lacking, as limited blood volumes make frequent collections of individual plasma samples for hormone monitoring impractical. To provide the necessary tools in order to fill this gap, this study examined the suitability of two enzyme immunoassays for monitoring male and female reproductive function in the southern Afri...
متن کاملEstrogen and Growth Hormone and their Roles in Reproductive Function
The aim of this study was to review the effect of estrogen on growth hormone secretion and the roles of estrogen and growth hormone in reproductive function. Estrogen is the main hormone affecting growth, development, maturation and functioning of reproductive tract as well as the sexual differentiation and the behavior. Growth hormone is also important factor in sexual maturation and attainmen...
