Prolonged duration of fertility of dog ova.

Efficacy of optimized in vitro predegeneration period on the cell count and purity of canine Schwann cell cultures

Objective(s): Predegeneration is a standard technique to obtain mitotically activated and enriched cultures of Schwann cells (SCs). This study, for the first time, evaluated the impact of various duration of predegeneration on cell yield and enrichment of SCs from dog peripheral nerve. Materials and Methods: Dog sural nerves were subjected to 5, 10, 15 day-long in vitro predegeneration. The tot...

Follicular Viability and Histological Alterations after Auto-transplantation of Dog Ovaries by Experimentally Inducing Blood Sinus on Stomach

Nonsurgical fertility control for managing free-roaming dog populations: a review of products and criteria for field applications.

About 75% of dogs worldwide are free to roam and reproduce, thus creating locally overabundant populations. Problems caused by roaming dogs include diseases transmitted to livestock and humans, predation on livestock, attacks on humans, road traffic accidents, and nuisance behavior. Nonsurgical fertility control is increasingly advocated as more cost-effective than surgical sterilization to man...

Endocrine control of reception, transport, development and loss of rabbit ova.

Rabbit ova were transferred to both sides of synchronous pseudopregnant recipients; on one side the ova were transferred to the ovarian bursa to assess the efficiency of ovum reception, and on the other side were deposited within the Fallopian tube to provide informa¬ tion on ovum transport. The recipients were treated with oestrogens, progesterone, or combinations of these hormones. Ova were a...

Baicalein, a flavonoid causes prolonged estrus and suppressed fertility output upon prenatal exposure in female mice

Objective(s): Baicalein (BC), a phytoestrogen of the flavonoid family shows beneficiary and adverse effects. Effect of BC on reproduction is still not understood. Reproductive toxic effects on female mice were tested in this study.Materials and Methods: Inseminated Wistar mice were divided into four groups and administered IP with 30, 60, and 90 mg/Kg body weight of BC on gestation daydays 11, ...
