概括
冬季在公羊中剪毛可以提高丸激素水平和对GnRH挑战的反应. 这种对雄羊生殖活动的影响至少持续两周,而不依赖于阴囊温度变化.
科学领域:
- 生殖内分泌学 生殖内分泌学
- 动物科学动物科学
- 羊的养殖 羊的养殖
背景情况:
- 雄羊表现出季节性生殖能力下降,在冬季减少黄素化激素 (LH) 脉动性和丸激素分泌.
- 了解影响公羊繁殖季节性的因素对于优化繁殖计划至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较冬季剪毛的公羊与未剪毛的公羊的水平,丸液,血流和阴囊温度.
- 为了评估冬季剪毛后公羊对激素释放激素 (GnRH) 挑战的荷尔蒙反应.
主要方法:
- 8月份 (南半球冬季) 剪了11只成年科里代尔公羊的毛发;还有11只未剪毛.
- 测量包括基底丸激素,丸液,丸动脉血流 (心缩速度,心缩速度,阻力指数) 和阴囊温度.
- 在剪毛14天后进行了GnRH挑战,以评估荷尔蒙反应.
主要成果:
- 剪毛的公羊表现出显著更高的基底丸激素度和更大的丸激素对GnRH挑战的反应.
- 丸动脉的抽缩和放缩速度在剪毛公羊中较高;挑战后,抽缩速度,像素强度和阻力指数在各组之间有所不同.
- 在剪切和非剪切公羊之间,体温度保持相似,表明温度调节不是主要的机制.
结论:
- 冬季剪毛显著提高基底和GnRH刺激的丸激素分泌在公羊至少两周.
- 观察到的丸激素的增加可能与阴囊温度的变化无关,这表明丸或内分泌系统有直接影响.
- 冬季剪毛可能是改善公羊在自然衰退期间生殖活动的策略.

Testosterone: Functions and Regulation
2.3K
The intricate hormonal interplay essential for male reproductive health begins with the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) by the hypothalamus. This hormone prompts the pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). LH targets the Leydig cells in the testes, stimulating them to produce and release testosterone. In concert with testosterone, FSH acts on the Sertoli cells within the seminiferous tubules to facilitate the release of...

Shear Diagram
1.7K
In the study of beam mechanics, shear diagrams play a crucial role in understanding the distribution of shear forces along the length of a beam. Consider a beam AB that is supported at both ends and subjected to perpendicular loads.
First, a free-body diagram of the beam is drawn, representing all the external forces and internal reactions acting on the beam. One can calculate the reaction forces at each support by employing the equilibrium equations of force and moment. The vertical component...

Shearing Stress
2.0K
Shearing stress, denoted by the Greek letter tau (τ), is stress caused by forces acting transversely on an object. These forces create internal ones within the entity in the plane where the external forces are applied. The resultant of these internal forces is the shear in the section.
The average shearing stress can be calculated by dividing the shear by the area of the cross-section.

Shearing Strain
1.4K
The shearing strain represents a cubic element's angular change when subjected to shearing stress. This type of stress can transform a cube into an oblique parallelepiped without influencing normal strains. The cubic element experiences a significant transformation when exposed solely to shearing stress. Its shape alters from a perfect cube into a rhomboid, clearly demonstrating the effect of shearing strain. The degree of this strain is considered positive if it reduces the angle between the...

Laminins are the Adhesive Proteins of Basal Lamina
3.3K
Laminins are heterotrimeric proteins with high molecular mass found in the extracellular matrix. Each laminin molecule is composed of three chains, viz. alpha, beta, and gamma, coded by five, four, and three paralogous genes, respectively. Laminins are categories based on the compositions of the three chains.
In humans, the five forms of alpha chains are LAMA 1, LAMA 2, LAMA 3, LAMA 4, and LAMA 5. The four forms of beta chains are LAMB 1, LAMB 2, LAMB 3, and LAMB 4. The three forms of gamma...

Basal Lamina are the Specialized Form of ECM
3.9K
The basal lamina is a thin extracellular layer that lies underneath the cells and separates them from other tissues. The three layers of the basal lamina are lamina lucida, lamina densa and lamina reticularis. The basal lamina, a mixture of glycoproteins and collagen, provides an attachment site for the epithelium, separating it from underlying connective tissue. The framework of basal lamina has other essential proteins such as laminins mesh, perlecan, entactin, and type IV collagen.
