The objectives of this study were to evaluate the fetal programming effects of removing maternal heat abatement during late gestation on offspring growth, thermotolerance, physiological responses, and liver gene expression during the backgrounding phase. Fifty-six Angus-cross calves [225 ± 5.3 kg body weight (BW); 9...

Estrogens regulate key processes in parturition, yet the specific effects of estradiol (E2) on maternal reproductive tissues in sheep remain unclear. This study investigated the impact of exogenous E2, mimicking physiological prepartum levels, on gene expression in the myometrium, endometrium, cervix, and placental mem...

Periods of inadequate maternal nutrition during pregnancy and nutritional imbalances during critical windows of fetal development can have lasting consequences on offspring growth, metabolism, and performance. These effects are largely mediated through epigenetic mechanisms. Among them, small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs...
