279. Expression of oestrogen receptor-α and modulators of steroid receptor signalling, proline-rich nuclear receptor-2 and peptidylprolyl isomerade-D, in the hypothalamus of suckled and weaned postpartum beef cows
Abstract:The aim was to characterise gene expression in the hypothalamus of suckled and weaned postpartum beef cows. The hypothalamus was obtained at slaughter from 12 primiparous Brahman cows (Zebu, Bos indicus) at 27 and 34 days postpartum. Six cows were weaned 7 days or 14 days before slaughter. Hypothalamic regions used for gene expression were: H1 (SC-POA, APVN, anterior hypothalamic nucleus, anterior portion of the arcuate nucleus, nearby areas of the diagonal band of Broca, and medial septum); H2 (basal hypothal… Show more
