Na+-leak channel, non-selective (NALCN) regulates myometrial excitability and facilitates successful parturition [PDF]

, 2018
Background/Aims: Uterine contractility is controlled by electrical signals generated by myometrial smooth muscle cells. Because aberrant electrical signaling may cause inefficient uterine contractions and poor reproductive outcomes, there is great ...

Onset of human preterm and term birth is related to unique inflammatory transcriptome profiles at the maternal fetal interface. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundPreterm birth is a main determinant of neonatal mortality and morbidity and a major contributor to the overall mortality and burden of disease.

Changes of Serum Calcium Concentration, Frequency of Ruminal Contraction and Feed Intake Soon after Parturition of Dairy Cows Fed Difructose Anhydride III [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015
Requirements to control the large decrease in serum calcium (Ca) due to parturition and to increase the feed intake soon after parturition have been well accepted in dairy cows.

Effect of oleic acid supplementation on prostaglandin production in maternal endometrial and fetal allantochorion cells isolated from late gestation ewes [PDF]

, 2015
Elevated circulating non-esterified fatty acids including oleic acid (OA) are associated with many pregnancy related complications. Prostaglandins (PGs) play crucial roles during parturition.

From conception to recruitment: Nutritional condition of the dam dictates the likelihood of success in a temperate ungulate

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Maternal effects are the influence of maternal phenotype and the maternally-provided environment on the phenotype (i.e., expression of traits) of offspring. Frequently, maternal effects are manifest both before and after parturition.

Deciphering a critical role of uterine epithelial SHP2 in parturition initiation at single cell resolution

Nature Communications, 2023
The timely onset of female parturition is a critical determinant for pregnancy success. The highly heterogenous maternal decidua has been increasingly recognized as a vital factor in setting the timing of labor.

Ingested bovine amniotic fluid enhances morphine antinociception in rats [PDF]

, 2000
Ingestion by rats of rat placenta or amniotic fluid enhances opioid-mediated, or partly opioid-mediated, antinociception produced by morphine injection, vaginal or cervical stimulation, late pregnancy, and foot shock.

Lactobacillus crispatus S-layer proteins modulate innate immune response and inflammation in the lower female reproductive tract

Nature Communications
Lactobacillus species dominance of the vaginal microbiome is a hallmark of vaginal health. Pathogen displacement of vaginal lactobacilli drives innate immune activation and mucosal barrier disruption, increasing the risks of STI acquisition and, in ...

Expression of C–C motif chemokines and their receptors in bovine placentomes at spontaneous and induced parturition

The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2019
In bovine placentomes, the inflammatory response is considered important for the detachment of the fetal membrane from the caruncle after parturition. Glucocorticoids, a trigger of the onset of parturition, facilitate functional maturation of placentomes

Prolactin is a strong candidate for the regulation of luteal steroidogenesis in vizcachas (Lagostomus maximus) [PDF]

, 2018
Prolactin (PRL) is essential for the maintenance of the corpora lutea and the production of progesterone (P4) during gestation of mice and rats, which makes it a key factor for their successful reproduction.
