An animal model for pregnancy‐associated sleep disorder
Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1998Abstract We studied basic sleep changes in pregnant rats in order to understand how pregnancy alters sleep. In the rat, pregnancy increased nocturnal non REM sleep across the entire period but increased REM sleep only in the early period. By the end of pregnancy, diurnal sleep was decreased, showing that pregnancy in rats causes biphasic sleep changes ...

Diabetic Pregnancy in Animals II
2011It is reasonable to believe that human beings and other animals share propensities and adverse responses to diseases. If this is so human diseases may be advantageously studied by turning to animals afflicted with conditions mimicking them i.e. by the use of so-called animal models.

The Immunology of Early Pregnancy in Farm Animals
Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2011ContentsThe mammalian conceptus undergoes development in the face of a functional immune system. This characteristic of viviparity creates opportunities and perils for the conceptus. In the period up to hatching from the zona pellucida, the conceptus appears immunologically inert with low expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes and ...

Some Pregnancy-Related Effects of Artemether in Laboratory Animals
Pharmacology, 2006Artemether, highly effective in multi-drug-resistant malaria is not routinely available for use in pregnancy due to the lack of adequate research data in animals and man. This study was therefore aimed at investigating some pregnancy-related effects of artemether. Artemether (1.5, 7.5 and 15 mg/kg i.p.

Antiphospholipid syndrome in pregnancy—animal models and clinical implications
Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, 1998The antiphospholipid (APS) syndrome frequently includes severe pregnancy complications such as fetal wastage and recurrent spontaneous abortions. Animal models for APS in pregnancy can provide both an understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPL), and aid in the evaluation of various therapeutic modalities in APS ...

Decreased Pressor Responsiveness in Pregnancy: Studies in Experimental Animals
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1987Pregnant animals of several species are resistant to the pressor effects of vasoconstrictor substances. Although a blunted pressor response to angiotensin II (AII) has been most thoroughly documented, resistance to the pressor effects of norepinephrine (NE), and arginine vasopressin (AVP) has also been found.

Ultrasonographic assessment of early pregnancy in animals
2002The study was performed on 22 cows, 23 mares, 97 sows and 19 bitches. The animals were divided in groups: the cows to multiparous and heifers, the other species - according to the breed. The possibilities for assessment of the early pregnancy through some parameters using the ultrasonic unit Aloka-SSD 500 with 5 MHz linear transducer (probe) in ...
