Del Curto, Hannah Margaret (2014-08-13)Anterior gradient homolog 2 (AGR2) is a proto-oncogene that encodes a secreted protein with biological roles in cell migration, differentiation, and growth, and is also implicated in epithelial barrier function and integrity. ...

Lee, Je Hoon (2013-05-08)In ruminants, prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2α) is released from the endometrium in a pulsatile pattern at the time of luteolysis. The luteolytic PGF2α pulses are transported from the uterus to the corpus luteum (CL) through ...

Singleton, Sarah Alexandria (2023-08-07)Molecular mechanisms governing conceptus elongation and placentation remain relatively elusive, but previous studies suggest the paternal genome has a vital role in placental development. Osteopontin (OPN), an extracellular ...
-
Li, Xinyu (2020-07-15)A series of in vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to determine: (1) the relative importance of amino acids (AAs), fatty acids and glucose as metabolic fuels for tissues of largemouth bass (LMB, a carnivorous fish); ...
-
Posey, Erin A (2021-08-02)This study was designed to test the hypothesis that dietary glycine (Gly) supplementation would improve the growth rate and survivability of post-weaning growing pigs through improved creatine synthesis. Pigs were obtained ...
-
Halloran, Katherine Marie (2018-08-06)In a previous study, administration of progesterone (P4) to ewes during the first 9 to 12 days of pregnancy has been shown to accelerate blastocyst development by Day 12 of pregnancy, likely due to P4-induced upregulation ...
-
Kramer, Avery Christine (2021-12-08)The swine industry experiences high rates of embryonic/fetal loss and there is considerable variation of birthweight between piglets within a litter. These outcomes negatively impact the swine industry’s overall efficiency ...

Banerjee, Atrayee (2009-05-15)Females are known to be more susceptible to alcoholic liver disease (ALD), but the precise mechanism behind this increased susceptibility is not well understood. The objective of this study was to identify the molecular ...
-
Halloran, Katherine Marie (2022-04-14)The mammalian embryo must develop from a single cell (the oocyte fertilized by the sperm) to a multi-cellular fetal-placental unit. In particular, the conceptuses (embryo/fetus and associated placental membranes) of livestock ...
-
Adetunji, Shakirat Adeola (2020-03-23)Stealthy intracellular bacterial pathogens are known to establish persistent and sometimes life-long infections. Some of these pathogens also have a tropism for the reproductive system thereby increasing the risk of ...
-
Behlen, Jonathan Charles (2022-03-29)Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is of growing concern due to increasing evidence of its ability to cause adverse health effects, particularly during development. PM represents a heterogenous mixture of compounds ...
-
Gao, Yang (2017-07-14)Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily signaling regulates multiple reproductive events. However, the in vivo role of the TGFβ signaling in uterine development and function is not well defined. Conditional ...

Moses, Robyn Marie (2020-07-15)Early embryonic development in the sheep requires elongation of the conceptus (the embryo and associated extraembryonic membranes) before implantation can take place. This requires energy and biomolecules provided by various ...
