The aim of the present paper was to investigate the efficiency of the equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) plus human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) associated with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MAP) to estrous ewes synchronization. Ninety Texel ewes were investigated during seasonal anoestrous. The ewes received intravaginal sponges containing MAP (60 mg) for nine days. At the time of sponges' wit...

In 1970 , 1971 and 1973 in a single dairy farm a total of 20 6 German red pied heifers were subjected to synchronization treatment. Treatment schedules consisted of chlormadinone acetate (CAP) given orally daily for i8 days io mg/day). Half of the animals were used to measure the effect of additional hormones on conception rate. 3r heifers received 5 mg of estradiol benzoate, 35 animals, i,ooo ...

In the study, 6 donors (n=6) cow of Selenge (n=3) and Alatau breeds were selected for superovulation. Superovulation treatment artificial insemination (AI) Donor Cow Regardless estrous cycle, Insert Controlled Internal Drug Release (CIDR; Hamilton, New Zealand) to from 5th day after inserting CIDR, diminishing inject Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH; Kyoritsu Seiyaku Corporation, Japan.) 36IU ...

introduction: in female rats sensitivity to antinociceptive treatment varies during estrous cycle stages. the role of gaba through gabab receptor in nociception has been established. the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of intercerebroventicular injection of gabab receptor agonist (baclofen) and gabab antagonist (cgp35348) on pain sensitivity during different stages of estr...

The present study was performed to determine the effect of PGF2α and GnRH injections in different time intervals on fertility in Hair goats during breeding season. Totally, 80 primiparous Hair goats were divided into four groups (n=20 in each) according to the body condition scores of the animals. The animals in groups were treated as follows; first group (Ovsynch), GnRH on day 0, PGF2α on day ...

The reproductive physiology of the Pacific white-sided dolphin, Lagenorhynchus obliquidens, was characterized to facilitate the development of artificial insemination (AI) using cryopreserved spermatozoa. Specific objectives were to: 1) describe reproductive seasonality of the Pacific white sided dolphins; 2) describe urinary LH and ovarian steroid metabolites during the estrous cycle; 3) corre...

The objective of this study was to evaluate two protocols of estrous synchronization in non-lactating Toggenburg goats. Nineteen goats were allocated, according to body condition score and weight, into two groups (A and B) and evaluated utilizing two treatments (T1 and T2). Animals in the T1 and T2 groups received an intravaginal sponge (day 0) containing 60 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate for 6...

P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4) are three efflux transporters that play key roles in the pharmacokinetics of antiretroviral drugs used in the pre-exposure prophylaxis of HIV sexual transmission. In this study, we investigated the expression, regulation, and function of these transporters in cervicovaginal tissues of a mou...

Pote goats are kept by the rural community in Bangkalan Regency, Madura Island, Indonesia. Estrus symptoms usually unclear, causing low fertility. This study aimed to determine intracervical artificial insemination at early and mid-estrus on does. The 24 does were randomly divided into two groups estrous synchronization with PGF2α of 200 µg intramuscularly, twice injections 11 days intervals. T...

Previous studies have demonstrated that a number of behaviors change their probability of occurrence during the estrous cycle. Wheel running is known to show estrous-related changes while reports upon intracranial reinforcement (self-stimulation, ICS) have been equivocal. The present studies examined both behaviors to further resolve the underlying behavioral determinants of these estrous effec...
