Pregnant rats were given one of the following doses of misulban on day 15 of pregnancy : 0.25, 0.36, 0.52, 0.75, 0.82, 0.88 or 0.95 mglkg. In the three-month old offspring it was observed that : 1) The number of cyclic rats decreased according to the dose of misulban given to the mothers ; 2) Cyclic rats were given an injection of 20 IU of PMSG at metcestrus followed by an injection of 150 IU o...

This paper summarizes research dealing with the induction of spontaneous superovulation in the cyclic hamster by single injections of PMSG. Four principal approaches have been used : 1) ovulation rate as an endpoint ; 2) number and size of follicles, and staging of follicular development in serially sectioned ovaries ; 3) determining the effects of an antiserum to PMSG ; 4) measuring steroid an...

was postulated that this system existed as a single gene (Chapman & Whitten, 1968), the following experiments were conducted to determine the heritability of the male pheromonal system involved in pmsg-induced facilitation of ovulation. Female mice of the C57BL/6J and SWR/J strains were housed, one per cage, following weaning at 21 days of age. Lighting was kept on a 12 hr on/12 hr off schedule...

In rats that were allowed to eat the placentae after parturition concentrations of serum prolactin were elevated on Day 1 but concentrations of serum progesterone were depressed on Days 6 and 8 post partum when compared to those of rats prevented from eating the placentae. In rats treated with PMSG to induce superovulation serum prolactin and progesterone values were significantly (P < 0.05) el...

Abstract: Fast control DC-link voltage is the key to enhance Low-Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) for the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). When grid voltage dips deeply, by the constraint of the capacity of the grid-side converter and reactive power support by the grid-code required, the active power capacity of the grid-side converter will be reduced. Therefore, it cannot stabilize th...

Variations of marine current speed can lead to strong fluctuations in the power extracted by a marine current turbine (MCT). During short-time period, swell effect is the main cause for the current speed variations. Conventional tip speed ratio Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm will require the MCT to accelerate or to decelerate frequently under swell effect, which can cause severe ...

BACKGROUND Inconsistent reports are available in the literature regarding the oxidative status and antioxidant capacity during the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes. Present study was aimed to evaluate oxidative stress during the development of gestational diabetes and to evaluate antioxidant capability in non-pregnant (control), pregnant and gestational diabetics. METHODS The study consis...

Evidence-based treatment for pregnant women will ultimately require research conducted in the population of pregnant women. Currently, few scholars have addressed the issue of responsible inclusion of pregnant women in drug research. Because of additional risks associated with including pregnant women in drug research and the altered ways in which drugs are processed by the pregnant body, pregn...

in an analytical, cohort type study, medical and obstetrical complications of 500 pregnant women over age 35 were compared with 500 younger pregnant women during 3 past years (1994-1997). 7he incidence of complications were significantly increased in pregnant women over age 35 (p
