module 7-estrous cycle Flashcards
who is considered the pioneer of hormone contraception
Dr. Wayne Bardin
what did Dr. Wayne Bardin do
developed long lasting contraception that provided an alternative to daily oral pill
what is Mirena? when was it FDA approved?
-an intrauterine device that releases a progesterone agonist(levonorgestrel)
-FDA approved in 2000
hormones used in cosynch method, and their purpose
-GnRH: induce follicular waves/growth, induce ovulation
-Prostaglandin: regress CL
-CIDR(progesterone): Blocks ovulation
timeline for cosynch method
-Day 0: GnRH injection, insert CIDR(grows new dominant follicle)
-Day 7: remove CIDR, give prostaglandin injection
*day 7: Place estrotect patch
and moniter for estrus(2-3
days)
OR
*Day 9: give GnRH injection and AI
method for estrus synch in pigs
feed matrix for 14 days, then expose to boar, then breed
what is prostaglandin secreted by
the uterus
how does prostaglandin get to the ovary
counter-current exchange to ovarian artery
does prostaglandin go through a counter-current exchange in horses? why/why not?
no, prostaglandin is not metabolized as well in horses so there is still enough left after traveling through the body to regress the CL
division of estrous cycle based on ovarian structures
-follicular phase
-Luteal phase
division of estrous cycle based on hormone profile
-proestrus
-estrus
-metestrus
-diestrus
follicular phase traits
-dominant structure
-dominant hormone
-start
-end
-relative length
-dominant structure: follicle
-dominant hormone:estradiol
-starts with luteolysis
-ends with ovulation
-30% of cycle
luteal phase traits
-dominant structure
-dominant hormone
-start
-end
-relative length
-dominant structure: CL
-Dominant hormone: progesterone
-starts with ovulation
-ends with luteolysis
-70% of cycle
proestrus traits
-2-3 days
-increase estradiol
-decrease progesterone
estrus traits
-24 hours(approximately)
-peak estradiol
-LH surge
metestrus traits
-5 days
-decrease estradiol
-increase progesterone
diestrus
-longest phase
-peak progesterone
polyestrus
display estrus throughout the year
seasonally polyestrus
display more than one estrus cycle during specific time of year
