...Xueya Qian; Lele Wang; Baohua Lin; Yihong Luo; Yunshan Chen; Huishu Liu Introduction: Parturition involves multiple complex metabolic processes that supply essential metabolites to facilitate fetal delivery. Little is known about the dynamic metabolic responses during labor. Objective: To profile...

...Simone Parvez; Hasan Parvez The influence of sex, pregnancy and parturition on biological accumulation and metabolic fate was studied in Sherman rats. 3 H-epinephrine was used as a tracer to determine differences in metabolite formation in normal males and females as well as pregnant rats from 18...

...T. Durá Travé; M. Puig Abulí; R.M.C. da Cunha Ferreira; I. Villa Elizaga The effects of zinc deficiency on parturition were studied in three groups of Wistar rats. Group A received a zinc-adequate control diet (Zn = 33 ppm), group B received a zinc-deficient diet (Zn = 2.6 ppm), and group C...

...T.T.H. Lao; J.A. Yin; P.M.P.

At term and in association with labour and delivery, lower plasma IFNγ concentrations and high tissue content may indicate a contributing role for IFNγ in parturition. 1999...
