Dexamethasone reduces acrosin activity of ram spermatozoa
(2002)The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dexamethasone on acrosin activity of spermatozoa in Chios rams during autumn (breeding season for sheep in Greece), in correlation with possible changes in blood ... -
Early abnormal amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) is associated with adverse short-term outcome in premature infants
(2012)Background: In preterm infants with IVH the electrocortical background activity is affected and there is a correlation between the severity of cerebral injury to the degree of depression, however the usefulness of the early ... -
Effect of porcine and ovine FSH on nuclear maturation of pig oocytes in vitro
(2008)The effect of porcine or ovine FSH on the maturation rate of porcine oocytes and on the time course of meiotic progression was studied. Groups of 20 grade-A cumulus oocyte complexes, aspirated from slaughterhouse cycling-gilt ... -
Effects of Addition of Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator in In Vitro Fertilization Medium on Bovine Embryo Development and Quality
(2015)Contents Plasminogen activators/Plasmin system plays pivotal role in regulating reproductive functions of mammals. Here, we examined the effects of modification of in vitro fertilization medium (IVF medium) with the addition ... -
Effects of metformin on fertilisation of bovine oocytes and early embryo development: possible involvement of AMPK3-mediated TSC2 activation
(2015)Studies on bovine oocytes have revealed that the activation of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK) by millimolar concentrations of metformin controls nuclear maturation. Tuberous sclerosis complex 2 ... -
Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound for bone healing: An overview
(2006)Low-intensity ultrasound is a biophysical form of intervention in the fracture-repair process, which through several mechanisms accelerates healing of fresh fractures and enhances callus formation in delayed unions and ... -
Ovarian allometry and the use of the gonosomatic index: a case study in the Mediterranean sardine, Sardina pilchardus
(2004)The gonosomatic or gonadosomatic index [GSI =( ovary weight/fish weight) x 100] has been widely used in. sheries science and experimental reproductive studies as a simple, low-cost measure of reproductive condition. However, ... -
Plasminogen activator activity in the porcine oviduct during the oestrous cycle
(2005)The mammalian oviduct is a dynamic tissue, which lies under the influence of ovarian steroids and produces proteins that affect various stages of fertilization and post-fertilization events. In this study, expression of ... -
UROKINASE-TYPE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR DOES NOT AFFECT IN VITRO BOVINE EMBRYO DEVELOPMENT AND QUALITY
(2015)The effects of modification of the in vitro embryo culture media (IVC) with the addition of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) on the yield and/or quality of bovine embryos were examined in two experiments. In ...
