Understanding the mechanisms that lead to differentiation of male germ cells from their spermatogonial stem through meiosis give rise mature haploid spermatozoa has been a major quest for many decades. Unlike most other cell types this process is more or less completely dependent upon being located within strongly structured niche provided by Sertoli an intact seminiferous epithelium. While much new information currently obtained application and description relevant gene mutations, there...
Xenobiotic exposure during pregnancy and lactation has been linked to perinatal changes in male reproductive outcomes other endocrine parameters. This pilot study wished assess whether brief maternal of rats xenobiotics dibutyl phthalate (DBP) or diethylstilbestrol (DES) might also cause long-term hypothalamic gene expression behavior the resulting offspring. Time-mated female Sprague Dawley were given either DBP (500 mg/kg body weight, every second day from GD14.5 PND6), DES (125 µg/kg...
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) increases the risk of adult type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Neonatal exendin-4 treatment can prevent in IUGR rat, but whether this will be effective a species where pancreas is more mature at birth unknown. Therefore, we evaluated effects neonatal administration after experimental placental fetal on metabolic outcomes sheep. Body composition, glucose tolerance, insulin secretion sensitivity were assessed singleton-born sheep from control (CON; n = 6...
Prenatal and early childhood exposures are implicated as causes of allergy, but the effects intrauterine growth restriction on immune function allergy poorly defined. We therefore evaluated experimental fetal allergic sensitization in adolescent sheep. Immune (circulating total red white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, antibody response to Clostridial vaccination) responses house dust mite (HDM) allergen ovalbumin (OVA) antigen (specific Ig, IgG 1 ,...
The specifity of a direct fluorescent antibody test for the detection pathogenic Treponema hyodysenteriae associated with swine dysentery was improved by absorbing original conjugated serum non treponeme.
Perinatal exposures are associated with altered risks of childhood allergy. Human studies and our previous work suggest that restricted growth in utero (IUGR) is protective against allergic disease. The mechanisms not clearly defined, but reduced fetal abundance metabolism methyl donors hypothesized as possible underlying mechanisms. Therefore, we examined whether late-gestation maternal dietary donor cofactor supplementation the placentally (PR) sheep pregnancy would reverse protection...
Poor perinatal growth in humans results asymmetrical grey matter loss fetuses and infants increased functional behavioural asymmetry, but specific contributions of pre- postnatal are unclear. We therefore compared strength direction lateralization obstacle avoidance maze exit preference tasks offspring placentally restricted (PR: 10M, 13F) control (CON: 23M, 17F) sheep pregnancies at 18 40 weeks age, examined gross brain structure the prefrontal cortex 52 age 14M, 18F; CON: 25F). PR did not...
School of Pharmacy, Robert Gordon's Institute, Schoolhill, Aberdeen AB9 1FR (Received 16th May 1974) The histochemical demonstration adrenergic innervation in the isthmus rabbit oviduct (Brundin, 1965) raises possibility that these nerves are significance control egg transport. Since rate transport may be altered by administration both oestrogenic and progestational substances (see Chang & Harper, 1966; Kendle Telford, 1970), several studies have been undertaken to investigate possible...
Xenobiotic exposure during pregnancy and lactation has been linked to perinatal changes in male reproductive outcomes, a range of other endocrine parameters. The present study was undertaken determine whether maternal rats the xenobiotics dibutyl phthalate (DBP) or diethylstilbestrol (DES) also leads long-term hypothalamus and/or anxiety-related behaviors resulting offspring. Time-mated female Sprague Dawley were given either DBP (500 mg/kgBW corn oil by oral gavage, every second day from...
