Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHousing Pregnant Sows in Turnaround Stalls During Gestation Impacts Behavior, Immune and Well-BeingAshley DeDecker, Michael Mandru, Janeen L. Salak-JohnsonThis study aimed to determine the effects of housing gestating multiparous sows in alternative turn-around stalls on selective measures of well-being. Sows were randomly assigned to either a Turn-Around Stall (TAS) or standard Straight Stall (STS) from gestational day 6 until 110. Behavior was registered on days 6, 30, 45, 65, 90 and 110 of gestation and immune and cortisol … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 14 Nov 2018 · 7,965 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DAIRY COW DURING EARLY GESTATION AND SUBSEQUENT GROWTH AND CARDIAC MEASUREMENTS OF HER OFFSPRINGJ. E. Larson, B. E. Voelz, D. K. Hardin, C. O. LemleyThe objective was to determine whether maternal nutritional status and milk production during early gestation influenced or were correlated with parameters of the calf at birth and at 1 month of age. From parturition until 90 days pregnant, blood samples were collected every 14 days in dairy cows and plasma was assayed for concentrations of glucose and β-Hydroxybutyrate (BHBA). Calves … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2014 · 7,625 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInterleukin-10, Mean Arterial Blood Pressure and Insulin Resistance in Normal PregnancyAbdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Mohammad Reza Farjam, Mohammad Hassan Davami et al.Problem statement: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether serum of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) Concentration change during normal pregnancy and, if so, to relate these changes corresponding alterations in insulin resistance and blood pressure. Approach: This cross sectional study was carried out on 86 healthy pregnant women including 26, 23 and 37 individuals in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 2 Dec 2011 · 7,815 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Gestation and Maternal Copper on the Fetal Fluids and Tissues Copper Concentrations in SheepAbd Elghany Hefnawy, Jorge Tortora-Perez, Saad Mohamed Shousha, Seham Youssef AbuKoraProblem statement: Samples of allantoic, amniotic fluid, fetal liver, kidney, maternal plasma and liver were collected from 30 ewes and classified into either early or late gestation and copper concentrations were measured. Approach: The Cu concentrations in the maternal plasma, allantoic, amniotic fluid, fetal liver and kidney increased significantly (p<0.01) during late gestation while maternal liver Cu decreased significantly (p<0.01). … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 20 Sep 2011 · 7,466 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDo Resistin and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Relate to Changes in Insulin Resistance in Normal Pregnancy?Parvin Zareian, Abdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Fateme Hemati Rad, Safar ZareiProblem statement: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of resistin and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) in insulin resistance during pregnancy. Approach: Serum resistin and TNF-α concentrations were measured by ELISA in 86 healthy pregnant women (26, 23 and 37 of them in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimesters, respectively) and in 21 healthy non pregnant women … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,810 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-Birth Weight and Pre-Term Delivery in Relation to Lopinavir/Ritonavir Use in PregnancyJorge Senise, Reisson Cruz, Ricardo Palacios et al.The toxic potential of nevirapine in pregnant women with CD4 count over 250 cells mm-3 and the unsatisfactory efficacy of nelfinavir in patients with baseline Viral Load (VL) over 100,000 copies mL-1 has prompted the use of Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) in selected situations. This study aims to assess safety of LPV/r in pregnancy. Medical records from pregnant women receiving LPV/r were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,954 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical Effects of Recombinant Porcine Somatotropin on Pig Fetal Growth and Metabolism: A ReviewD. Villanueva-García, S. A. Olmos-Hernández, D. Mota-Rojas et al.Prenatal development is mainly dependent on a close interrelation between nutritional supply use and regulation by hormones and growth factors. Mechanisms during early embryonic development are sensitive to manipulation through selected management strategies of the sow and modifications of this strategy may serve as a model for the examination of molecular and cellular events controlling early embryonic growth. The administration … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,620 accessesView PDF Cite
