Parturition Synchrony Index: A Method for Assessing Individual Parturition Synchrony Within a Group or Population [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe phenomenon of parturition synchrony at the population level has been studied for decades using various methods. To assess the tendency of individual mothers to synchronize their parturition timing with others, we developed a novel parturition ...

Unveiling myometrial SP/Krüppel-like factors as drivers of parturition: insights from transcriptional and endocrine regulatory networks [PDF]
Endocrine ConnectionsParturition is a complex process that is subject to multifactorial regulation by signals originating from the fetus, placenta, and uterus. The uterine myometrium is a central player for achieving successful pregnancy to term, requiring its transformation

iScience, 2023 Summary: The underlying mechanisms governing parturition remain largely elusive due to limited knowledge of parturition preparation and initiation. Accumulated evidences indicate that maternal decidua plays a critical role in parturition initiation.

Augmented Hypothalamic Corticotrophin-Releasing Hormone mRNA and Corticosterone Responses to Stress in Adult Rats Exposed to Perinatal Hypoxia [PDF]
, 2007 Stressful events before or just after parturition alter the subsequent phenotypical response to stress in a general process termed programming. Hypoxia during the period before and during parturition, and in the postnatal period, is one of the most ...

Effect of different litter size on the rate of postpartum uterine involution in hu sheep [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2022 In this study, we investigated the eff ects of diff erent litter sizes on the rate of uterine involution in Hu sheep. Using B-mode ultrasonography, we recorded changes in the uterine horn diameter and the maximum uterine caruncle diameter in 60 ...

Immune cells and preterm labour:do invariant NKT cells hold the key? [PDF]
, 2015 We have developed our original made-to-measure (M2M) algorithm, PRIMAL, with the aim of modelling the Galactic disc from upcoming Gaia data. From a Milky Way like N-body disc galaxy simulation, we have created mock Gaia data using M0III stars as tracers,

Individual Variation in Parturition Timing within and among Years for a Bat Maternity Colony
Frontiers in Bioscience-Scholar, 2023 Background: In monoestrous species, the timing of reproduction can have important impacts on offspring survival. For heterotherms in temperate areas, parturition timing is constrained by cold weather survival strategies, such as hibernation and torpor ...
