Problem IgG is the only antibody class, that is, actively transferred from mother to fetus across placenta by an active, neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) mediated process during pregnancy, conferring passive immunity and protection against infections newborn first months of life. Preterm infants may not receive sufficient titers protective antibodies, as most them are after 34th week gestation. Because great importance this process, we investigated in a clinical setting placental transmission...
In the last years, study of how environmental stimuli influence physiology and specifically endocrinology an organism became increasingly important, relying mainly on quantification glucocorticoids to monitor animal welfare. Most studies investigating cortisol levels in primates were focused impact social stressors; however, a major concern for conservation howler monkeys is increased habitat fragmentation led by advancement agricultural frontier. We compared fecal metabolite (FGCM)...
Abstract Birds tend to adjust their behavior and physiology changes in food availability environment. Seasonal fluctuation of resources may act as an energetic challenge, augmenting hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA axis) activity, leading increase corticosterone concentrations promoting the metabolism energy stores. Plant invasions alter seasonal fluctuations by providing a supply during scarce seasons. This could attenuate reducing HPA activity reserves. Using system with...
Abstract The Chinchilla is a rodent that was once abundant in the central Andes of South America. Excessive hunting for fur greatly reduced its distribution at beginning twentieth century, and today species are nearly extinct wild. Although protected, wild populations chinchilla still declining. In general, this has received little research attention biology poorly understood. Improvements captive breeding, husbandry, genetic management needed to ensure conservation species. study,...
Due to the high value of its fur, indiscriminate hunting reduced Chinchilla lanigera wild populations virtually verge extinction (IUCN critically endangered, CITES Appendix I). A key aspect for implementation ex-situ breeding programs chinchilla depends on integration data obtained from assisted reproduction techniques applied domestic congener. One most widely used is ovulation induction through injection exogenous synthetic drugs. In farm animals, ovarian inactivity allows a more...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intragestational role ghrelin in offspring development and reproductive programming a mouse model imbalance during pregnancy. Female mice were injected with (supraphysiological levels: 4 nmol/animal/day), antagonist (endogenous inhibition (D-Lys3)GHRP-6, 6 nmol/animal/day) or vehicle (control = normal levels) throughout Parameters evaluated litters growth, physical, neurobiological sexual and, at adulthood, function. Litter size initial weight...
It has been demonstrated that food intake and reproductive physiology are both simultaneously modulated to optimize success under fluctuating metabolic conditions. Ghrelin (GHRL) is an orexigenic peptide identified as the endogenous ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor being investigated for its potential role on reproduction. Considering data available so far still limited characterization GHRL action mechanism system not fully elucidated, we studied participation hypothalamus in...
