Abstract Embryonic mortality (EM) is a major factor limiting reproductive efficiency in cattle, and despite negative connotations related to performance, prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) capable of being released by the uterus Day 30 gestation. Therefore, objective was evaluate differences PGF2α release after an oxytocin challenge between cows with high circulating concentrations pregnancy-associated ...

The utility of environmental DNA (eDNA) as a detection tool for fisheries management is limited by dilution and degradation, especially in areas low fish abundance. This proof-of-concept study addressed these challenges testing whether food or pheromones might be used to attract invasive carp so they can measured more readily using eDNA. In two experiments, PIT-tagged were stocked into ponds (N...

Cortisol (Cr), the most important glucocorticoid (GC), is well known to suppress uterine prostaglandin F2α (PGF) production. However, the details of the regulatory mechanisms controlling the cyclic changes in endometrial PGF production remain unclear. Here we investigated the expression of the GC receptor (GC-Rα), the actions of cortisol throughout the estrous cycle and the regulatory mechanism...

nything that compromises sow milk yield would be expected to have a negative impact on piglet performance. Periparturient hypogalactia syndrome has been associated with endometritis.1 Most sow herds have some incidence of endometritis, with reported incidences ranging from 1.1%–37.2% for different herds.2 Recent interest has focused on the postpartum administration of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) ...

Objective: There is a lack of data on the direct effects Selexipag, novel prostacyclin Inositol phosphate-3 receptor (IP3) agonist with long half-life, human pulmonary arteries. This study aims to establish efficacy and potency Selexipag Methods: Patient consent was obtained prior lung resection for primary cancer. The artery rings (n = 23 from 6 patients) were cut 2 - 4 mm length internal diam...
