(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The objective of this study was to determine concentrations of amino acids and polyamines as well as nitric oxide (NO) and polyamine synthesis in the ovine conceptus (embryo/fetal and associated placental membrane). Ewes ...
-
(2018-08-06)This study was conducted to confirm that exogenous P4 administered during the peri-implantation period (Days 1.5 to 8) advances conceptus growth, development, and implantation to Day 12 of gestation. This study determined ...

(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 ...

Metabolism of One-Carbon Units and Creatine in Uterine-Placental Tissues During Pregnancy in Sheep (2022-05-20)Early embryonic deaths and intrauterine growth restriction of fetuses are two major causes that limit the reproductive success of livestock. Both issues tie to the failure of proper transport of nutrients, gases, and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Progesterone is unequivocally required for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in all mammals studied. Its known functions are complex and encompass global changes in gene expression. Therefore, studies were ...
-
(2011-08-08)Histotroph, secretions from luminal (LE), superficial glandular (sGE) and glandular (GE) epithelia and molecules selectively transported into the uterine lumen, are essential for peri-implantation ovine conceptus development ...
-
(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 ...

(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 ...
