One potential indication of decreased welfare in pigs is a greater prevalence of disease as a result of compromised immunity in 'stressed' animals. Various studies have endeavoured to assess the effects of stress on pigs. Stressors included social in

The present study examined the effects of LH, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (cAMP) and forskolin on progesterone secretion by small and large pig luteal cells. Corpora lutea were isolated from gilts (n > or = 3 per day) on days 9, 12 an

This study examined the effects of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNFα) on basal and stimulated progesterone secretion, as well as prostaglandin F2α production, by small, large and mixed porcine luteal cells and assessed the action of TNFα in the pres

This study was designed to investigate the effects of weaning age on specific components of the adaptive immune system in pigs. Twenty-three crossbred pigs were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments: weaning at 14 (14D, n = 8), 21 (21D, n = 7), or 2

Changes in the expression and localization of luteal mRNA for PGF(2alpha) (FP) receptors may be critical in determining the luteolytic action of PGF(2alpha) in pig corpora lutea. In this study, a full-length FP receptor (FPr) cDNA was isolated and cl

To evaluate effects of endotoxemia on serum somatotropin (ST) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentrations in finishing pigs.Eight female pigs (98 +/- 2 kg) randomly assigned to IV administration (time 0) of saline solution (n = 4) or Esch

This study examined whether pig luteal cells contain specific prostaglandin (PG) E receptors. Corpora lutea, from PG 600R -induced cycling prepubertal gilts or naturally cycling gilts, were dissociated enzymatically, and large, small, and mixed cells

This study examined whether the pig CL contains specific tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) receptors and compared the binding affinities and capacities of small and large cell membranes. Aliquots of membranes, isolated from intact or dispersed

This study evaluated the influence of exogenous estradiol-17 beta (E2) administration on LH concentrations and the number of animals returning to estrus after the termination of pregnancy or pseudopregnancy in gilts. Gilts were mated (pregnant; n = 1

Mature boars were subjected to chronic treatment with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, goserelin (D-Ser[But]6, Azgly-NH210), and serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone concentrations were measured. Ten sexually mature boars w
