The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2021 Although hormonal induction of parturition in cattle results in the successful delivery of healthy calves, the risk of retained fetal membrane is significantly increased. In a previous study, a combination of the long-acting glucocorticoid, triamcinolone

The role of selection and evolution in changing parturition date in a red deer population
PLoS Biology, 2019 Changing environmental conditions cause changes in the distributions of phenotypic traits in natural populations. However, determining the mechanisms responsible for these changes—and, in particular, the relative contributions of phenotypic plasticity ...

Effects of induced parturition in goats on immunoglobulin G and chitotriosidase activity in colostrum and plasma and on plasma concentrations of prolactin [PDF]
, 2011 The effect of induction of parturition with a PGF(2)alpha analog on plasma concentration of prolactin (PRL) and its effects on colostrum concentration of IgG and chitotriosidase (ChT) activity were studied in 16 pregnant Majorera goats.

) parturition date in response to climate change [PDF]
, 2021 In temperate habitats, the vegetation onset in spring affects the life cycle activities of large herbivores. For one species of large herbivore, roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), parturition is tied to peak resource availability.

The preterm parturition syndrome
BJOG: an International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2006 The implicit paradigm that has governed the study and clinical management of preterm labour is that term and preterm parturition are the same processes, except for the gestational age at which they occur.

Identification of a Feed-Forward Loop Between 15(S)-HETE and PGE2 in Human Amnion at Parturition
Journal of Lipid Research, 2022 Human parturition is associated with massive arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization in the amnion, indicating that large amounts of AA-derived eicosanoids are required for parturition. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesized from the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway

Obstetrics & Gynecology Science, 2019 A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms by which signals from the fetus initiate human parturition is required. Our recent findings support the core hypothesis that oxidative stress (OS) and cellular senescence of the fetal membranes (amnion ...

B- ENDORPHIN LEVELS BEFORE MATING, DURING PREGNANCY, PREPARTURITION AND POSTPARTURITION IN GOATS [PDF]
Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 1993 B-endorphin level was estimated in serum of goats before mating, during different months of gestation, the day before parturition, the day after parturition as well as a week after parturition using radioimmunoassay technique.
