  • Overt menstruation (where there is bleeding from the uterus through the vagina) is found primarily in humans and close relatives such as chimpanzees. (wikipedia.org)
  • In the estrous cycles of most placental mammals, if no fertilization takes place, the uterus reabsorbs the endometrium. (wikipedia.org)
  • For this reason, the human uterine lining becomes fully thickened during each cycle as a defense to trophoblast penetration of the endometrial wall, regardless of whether an egg becomes fertilized or successfully implants in the uterus. (wikipedia.org)
  • While hyperthyroidism most commonly induces a reversible form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a dilative type has also been described and overt congestive cardiac failure can arise form either, albeit uncommonly (17,19) . (vin.com)
  • Female domestic animals used for breeding-for example dogs, pigs, cattle, or horses-are monitored for physical signs of an estrous cycle period, which indicates that the animal is ready for insemination. (wikipedia.org)
  • The animals were observed for oestrous behaviour for a 12-week period following NS, 1st, 2nd and 3rd proligestone administration. (vin.com)
  • The period in the ESTROUS CYCLE associated with maximum sexual receptivity and fertility in non-primate female mammals. (lookformedical.com)
  • During the 1st oestrus (puberty), the animals received no treatment while on the 2nd day of overt oestrous sign manifestation of the 2nd oestrus, 18 cats were sc treated with proligestone (33 mg/kg) while the remaining 4 cats received normal saline (NS, 0.33 ml/kg), sc. (vin.com)
  • A state of sexual inactivity in female animals exhibiting no ESTROUS CYCLE. (lookformedical.com)
  • A vaginal smear was prepared for each female and the stage of the oestrous cycle or the presence of sperm was recorded. (europa.eu)
  • The dominant follicle of the cycle appears to be selected from a cohort of class five follicles, and it requires about 20 days to develop to the ovulatory stage. (glowm.com)
  • The objective of the study was to estimate the impact of proligestone administration on the suppression of oestrus and on the prevention of recurrence of feline oestrous cycle and its probable unwanted effects. (vin.com)
  • Evidence suggests that long term stress facilitates pain perception and sensitizes pain pathways, leading to a feed-forward cycle promoting chronic visceral pain disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). (frontiersin.org)
  • In humans, decidualization happens spontaneously at the beginning of each menstrual cycle, triggered by hormonal signals from the ovaries. (wikipedia.org)
  • Despite this, they experience hormonal fluctuations and blood vessel engorgement during a heat cycle, signaling their body's readiness for breeding. (petzooie.com)
  • A period of hormonal inactivity between estrous cycles, often coinciding with the shortest days between October and December in the Northern Hemisphere. (petzooie.com)
  • Females of other species of placental mammal undergo estrous cycles, in which the endometrium is completely reabsorbed by the animal (covert menstruation) at the end of its reproductive cycle. (wikipedia.org)
  • These reproductive organs undergo a regular cycle, known as estrous or commonly referred to as a heat cycle, facilitating the possibility of reproduction. (petzooie.com)
  • The authentic compounds blocked sexual behavior in male rats and estrous cyclicity in female rats at oral doses of 2 ppm. (nih.gov)
  • Adult male and female rats were provided drinking solutions containing various doses of THF-diols and/or LTX-diols, and we evaluated their effects on male sexual behavior and female estrous cyclicity. (nih.gov)
  • Combination studies with subthreshold doses of 0.05 ppm THF-diols plus 0.05 ppm LTX-diols revealed that their effects on estrous cyclicity were not synergistic. (nih.gov)
  • This guideline for two-generation reproduction testing is designed to provide general information concerning the effects of a test substance on the integrity and performance of the male and female repro ductive systems, including gonadal function, the estrous cycle, mating be havior, conception, gestation, parturition, lactation, and weaning, and on the growth and development of the offspring.

  • The frequency of these cycles varies, typically occurring every 2 to 3 weeks. (petzooie.com)
  • This initial heat cycle signals the onset of puberty, and it is noteworthy that a cat can become pregnant during any of its heat cycles, including the first. (petzooie.com)
  • This simple test only takes a few minutes in the parlour and is an accurate test to see if your cow is in heat, providing a method of heat detection that does not reply on overt behavioural changes. (wynnstay.co.uk)
