Hydroxytyrosol is a polyphenol with antioxidant, metabolism-regulatory, anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory properties. The present study aimed to determine whether supplementing the maternal diet hydroxytyrosol during pregnancy can improve pre- early post-natal developmental patterns metabolic traits of offspring. Experiment was performed in Iberian sows fed restricted order increase risk IUGR. Ten were treated daily 1.5 mg per kg feed between Day 35 (30% total gestational period) until...
Recently, the capacity of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) to migrate into damaged tissues has been reported. For MSCs be a promising tool for tissue engineering and cell gene therapy, it is essential know their migration ability according origin. However, little known about molecular mechanisms regulating porcine MSC chemotaxis. The aim this study was examine migratory properties in an inflammatory environment lines from different origins: subcutaneous adipose (SCA-MSCs), abdominal...
The present study aimed to determine the effects of breed and sex on growth patterns metabolic features advanced-pregnancy foetuses exposed same environmental conditions. Thus, at Day 62 pregnancy, swine from an obese with leptin resistance (Iberian breed) were compared lean crossbred (25% Large White ×25% Landrace ×50% Pietrain). There differential developmental in resistance, mainly a higher relative weight brain resembling "brain-sparing effect". Prioritization may be protective for...
The present study aimed to determine whether developmental patterns, adiposity level and fatty-acid composition of fetuses exposed maternal malnutrition are driven by their sex or genotype, both, as these may modulate the adaptive response intrauterine environment independently genotype. We used a single genotype (purebred Iberian (IB) sows), which was inseminated with heterospermic semen (obtained mixing from Large White (LW) boars), obtain four different subsets (male female, purebred...
The incidence of obesity and metabolic diseases is dramatically high in rapidly developing countries. Causes have been related to intrinsic ethnic features with development a thrifty genotype for adapting food scarcity, prenatal programming by undernutrition, postnatal exposure obesogenic lifestyle. Observational studies humans experimental animal models evidence that the adaptive responses offspring may be modulated their sex. In contemporary context world globalization, new question...
Sex-related differences in lipid availability and fatty acid composition during swine foetal development were investigated. Plasma cholesterol triglyceride concentrations the mother strongly related to adequacy or inadequacy of concomitant activation protective growth some organs (brain, heart, liver spleen). Cholesterol was similar male female offspring, but foetuses showed evidence higher placental transfer essential acids synthesis non-essential muscle liver. These sex-related affected...
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess whether vulvar morphometric changes occurring in female pigs during proestrus and oestrus could be objective, accurate predictive indicators the onset thus performed artificial inseminations at most appropriate time. For that purpose, pictures vulvas from 60 hyperprolific females (30 gilts 30 sows) were taken once a day. Vulva measurements (area, perimeter, length width) on these using image processing ImageJ software. Gilts sows showed...
Contents The main aim of this study was to document the prevalence chromosomal aberrations found date on pig population in Spain, a country which production sector has critical role, being fourth world and second one within European Union. total number animals studied 849, founded frequency carrier pigs with alterations 3.8%. When only structural were considered, males 3.3%. This percentage is far from 0.5% boars that been estimated France, where there systematic cytogenetic screening future...
The assessment of reproductive features (puberty, fertility and prolificacy) in female Iberian pigs indicates that exposition to intrauterine maternal malnutrition, either by deficiency or excess, is associated with juvenile obesity a significantly earlier age puberty onset. At adulthood, prenatal undernutrition affects outputs diminishing prolificacy, an effect was not found females exposed overnutrition.
The aim was to assess the reproductive efficiency of different techniques used preserve spermatozoa in artificial insemination semen doses (AI-doses) by evaluating refrigeration at 15°C, cryopreservation and encapsulation. Forty-two hyperprolific sows were treated with buserelin inseminated once a single fixed time. fertility rate, embryonic vesicles viability early mortality (arrested conceptuses) evaluated post-mortem 24th day pregnancy, analysed order effectiveness each proposed...
