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 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...
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 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...
Contents In this study, the karyotypes of 14 piglets from four different litters produced by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and embryo transfer were analysed. The chromosome analysis was based on a classical cytogenetic examination following standard protocols lymphocyte cultures. Two cases reciprocal translocation [(4; 7)(p+; q−) (2; 8)(q−; q+)] detected in two female transgenic piglets. These animals showed neither anatomical nor physiological alterations had normal growth. To our...
