... in various parts of the oviduct was analyzed by qPCR. Oviductal structure was observed by H&E staining. The distribution of AR in the cells was detected by immunohistochemistry. The results showed that the expression of AR mRNA was found in the infundibulum, magnum, isthmus, uterus and vagina of the oviduct. The expression of the AR mRNA in infundibulum was the strongest, and the vagi...

Oocytes were obtained from the ovaries of slaughtered buffaloes within two hours after slaughter and brought to laboratory. After in vitro maturation (IVM) in Tissue Culture Medium-199 (TCM199) for 24 h and fertilization (IVF) in Tyrode’s Albumin Lactate Pyruvate (TALP) medium for about 20...

...ifferences were found in oviduct during every stage of estrous cycle (P<0.05) between Small Tail Han (STH) sheep and Tan (T) sheep. There were significant differences in genotype distribution between STH sheep and T sheep at T1235C and AG2357-2358 CT sites (P<0.01). The results of haplotypes analysis indicated that H2, H7 were preponderant haplotype in high prolificacy sheep breed. The litter size of TT genotype was significantly higher tha...

Gross examination and measurements of the oviduct compartments were obtained, and four specimens for each portion were used for scanning electron microscopic examination. Histologically, pieces of different oviduct portions were subjected to routine histological pro...

...us ranae (OR), the dried oviduct of mature female Rana dybowskii, also known as Hamayou and Hashimayou, is a famous animal derived traditional Chinese medicine that have a variety of pharmacological effects. In our study, the anti-aging effect of OR on 53-week-old aging mice was investigated. The results showed that OR could significantly shorten the destination quadrant distance and latency in the Morris water maze of aging mice. It obviously decreased the MD...

The stomach was a complex structure whose walls bore calcareous ossicles. It was divided into the cardiac stomach with four ossicles: unpaired mesocardiac, paired pterocardiac, paired lateral zygocardiac, and the unpaired urocardiac ossicle; and the pyloric stomach, whic...

Blastocyst stages from each treatment group were assessed and evaluated for their quality by determining the ACR by means of TUNEL staining. The presence of palmitic or stearic acid at high concentrations during oocyte maturation increased ACR, whereas oleic acid had no significant effects. The results of the present study concluded that compromised oocyte microenvironment by metabolic stressor...

The results showed that the coding region of CTSD gene of Duolang sheep had a full length of 1,239 bp, encoding 412 amino acids. The sequence of Duolang sheep CTSD was relatively similar to those of other mammals and was in line with evolutionary relationship. The mRNA of CTSD gene was expressed in all the tissues of Duolang sheep at the prepuberty, puber...

...mic, pituitary, ovarian, oviduct, and uterine tissues. The TTR gene was amplified, cloned, and sequenced using RT-PCR in Dolang sheep. Its expression in the five tissue types was analyzed. The amino acid sequences of the TTR gene were compared to those of other species and a phylogenetic tree was produced. qPCR was used to detect the expression levels of the TTR gene in the tissues. TTR gene was transfected into granulosa cells of the ovaries of Dolang sheep a...
