Spontaneous Object Recognition in the Göttingen Minipig
Göttingen minipigs were tested in an object recognition procedure based on spontaneous exploration. Eight pigs were exposed to two similar objects in a sample trial and after a one-hour delay exposed to two objects, one familiar and one novel, in a test trial. The pigs explored the novel object significantly more than the familiar object in the test trial (p<0.05), thereby showing recognition o...
متن کاملGenetic management of the Göttingen Minipig population.
The Göttingen Minipig is a laboratory animal of worldwide importance. The breed was developed in the 1960's at the University of Göttingen, Germany, using the founder breeds Minnesota Minipigs, Vietnamese Potbelly Pig and German Landrace. After the initial period under free range conditions the population was stocked under high hygienic standards. In 1992 an exclusive licence contract was made ...
متن کاملDetermination of Odor Detection Threshold in the Göttingen Minipig
The aim of the study was to examine the ability of Göttingen minipigs to acquire an olfaction-based operant conditioning task and to determine the detection threshold for ethyl acetate and ethanol. We used an automated olfactometer developed for rodents to train and test 14 pigs. Odor sampling and reliable responding were obtained after three to fifteen 160-trial sessions. Successful transfer o...
متن کاملPossible intracellular regulators of female sexual maturation.
Protein kinases, transcription factors and other apoptosis- and proliferation-related proteins can regulate reproduction, but their involvement in sexual maturation remains to be elucidated. The general aim of the in vivo and in vitro experiments with porcine ovarian granulosa cells was to identify possible intracellular regulators of female sexual maturation. For this purpose, proliferation (e...
متن کاملSexual maturation and reproductive zinc physiology in the female squirrelfish.
Female squirrelfish (Holocentridae) accumulate higher concentrations of hepatic zinc than any other known organism. In the liver cells, up to 70% of zinc is bound to metallothionein (MT), which is expressed at extremely high levels. These attributes are related to reproduction in ways that have not been fully characterized. In the present study, we have demonstrated that female-specific zinc an...
