Analysis of some novel uterine extracellular matrix proteins and a growth factor
(2009-05-15)This dissertation focused on two classes of molecules implicated in processes of implantation and placentation in sheep and pigs. Study one examined the temporal/spatial distribution of several Small Integrin-Binding Ligand, ... -
Anterior Gradient Homolog 2 and Its Potential Roles In Ovine Pregnancy
(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. ... -
Early pregnancy diagnosis and embryo/fetus mortality in cattle
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Pregnancy diagnosis by transrectal ultrasonography (using a 5 MHZ linear probe) presented the maximum sensitivity and negative predictive values at day 26 and day 29 after estrus in heifers and cows, respectively. Palpation ... -
Effects of Parental Notification and Consent Laws on Teenage Births and Abortions in Texas
(2014-08-04)Teen pregnancy and teen abortions are major public health concerns in the United States. The more than 300,000 births to teens each year often involve increased risk to the health of the mother and the baby. Teenage pregnancy ... -
Expression and regulation of select interferon stimulated genes in porcine endometrium during pregnancy
(2009-05-15)Coordinated signals between the maternal endometrium and conceptus during the peri-implantation period are essential for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. In pigs, this involves estrogen secretion from ... -

(2012-10-19)The growing cultural commodity of celebrity news and its increasing focus on celebrities' families is examined by this project to determine what consequence communications about celebrity pregnancy and parenthood have on ... -
Progesterone and interferon tau regulated genes in the endometrium of the ovine uterus and expression of interferon stimulated genes in the corpus luteum during early pregnancy in sheep
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)During early pregnancy in ruminants, progesterone (P4) from the corpus luteum (CL) and interferon tau (IFNT) from the conceptus act on the endometrium to regulate genes including interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) that are ... -
Progesterone regulation of endometrial factors supporting conceptus growth and development in the ovine uterus
(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 ... -
Progesterone Regulation of Endometrial Gene Expression in the Early Pregnant Ovine Uterus
(2012-10-19)Establishment of pregnancy in ruminants requires blastocyst development to form an elongated filamentous conceptus that produces interferon tau (IFNT), the pregnancy recognition signal, and initiate implantation. Blastocyst ... -
