Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHousing 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExpression of Adiponectin Receptors in Human Placenta and Its Possible Implication in Gestational DiabetesNaglaa Fathy Al Husseini, Mosaad M. Odaa, M.A. Mohamed et al.Problem statement: Similar to obese patients and type 2 diabetic patients, adiponectin levels are reduced in former Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) patients and are lower in GDM women during late pregnancy compared with pregnant control subjects matched for BMI. Diabetic insult at later stages in gestation, such as may occur in gestational diabetes, will foremost lead to short-term changes in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMultivariate Analysis of Gestational Diabetes Risk Factors in a North African Population: A Call for Targeted Maternal Health InterventionsHafssa Abdellaoui, Nadia Ouzennou, Adnane Hakem, Samia RkhaGestational Diabetes (GD) is a multifactorial condition influenced by demographic, anthropometric and obstetric determinants. Identifying predictive factors is essential to anticipate the disorder, guide prevention strategies and reduce maternal and neonatal complications. To assess the risk factors associated with GDM in pregnant women in the Marrakech-Safi region, in order to fill a gap in national data. A retrospective cross-sectional study … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 10 May 2026 · 1,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNUTRITIONAL 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUltrasonographic Apperance of the Gestational Structures Throughout Pregnancy in BitchesA. Aissi, C. SlimaniUltrasonographic examinations of 10 pregnant bitches with known breeding dates were made on successive days to establish the identifiable characteristics of pregnancy. Subsequent serial examinations were made to sonographically characterize normal canine prenatal development based about the first mating. The initial detection of the fetal and extra-fetal structures were as follows: gestational sac at day 17.88±1.13 (16-21); zonary placenta in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,222 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAlcohol Intubation and Synergistic Effect of Folic Acid and Egg Yolk Powder Solution on Alcohol Dehydrogenase [ADH] Class I Gene Expression and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Frequency in Parent and Prenatal Alcohol Exposed Wistar RatsAdejoke Olukayode Obajuluwa, Oluyinka Ajibola Iyiola, Joseph Akintade Morakinyo et al.Point mutation detections in alcohol metabolizing genes could unravel molecular targets of gestational alcohol and epigenetic remodeling capacity of maternal nutrition, which underscores growth and health endpoints in Pre­natal Alcohol Exposed (PAE) fetuses. gene expression was assayed using sequenced target and internal control gene primers in a two-step thermal cycling process from isolated RNA in purely bred alcohol male and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 1 · 22 Nov 2023 · 4,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPerinatal Cardiovascular Evaluation in Dorper Sheep Echocardiographic Description and Behavior of the Heart Rate Variability on the FieldAmanda Sarita Cruz Aleixo, Mayra de Castro Ferreira Lima, Ana Luísa Holanda de Albuquerque et al.The heart is innervated by the autonomic nervous system, with a predominance of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity associated, respectively, with increases and decreases in the heart rate, as illustrated by the Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Pregnancy induces significant changes in the maternal cardiovascular and hemodynamic systems. This study aimed at evaluating changes in the clinical and echocardiographic parameters of pregnant … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2021 · 6,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPlasma Fatty Acid Profile of Gestating Ewes Supplemented with FishmealMamun M. Or-Rashid, Rebecca Fisher, Niel Karrow et al.Problem statement: The very long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (>18C) cannot be adequately synthesized by ruminant tissues to meet their requirements; therefore, their concentration in body depends on the supply through feed. It may be possible to improve the essential fatty acid status of ruminant animals, during gestation by manipulating the maternal diet with Fishmeal (FM). The objectives of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiochemical 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.
