INSL3 in the Ruminant: A Powerful Indicator of Gender- and Genetic-Specific Feto-Maternal Dialogue
Download2011
Viñoles, C., Hafen, B., Anand-Ivell, R., Martin, G. B., Eurich, A., Fitzsimmons, C., Hiendleder, S., Ivell, R.
The hormone Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a major secretory product of the Leydig cells from both fetal and adult testes. Consequently, it is a major gender-specific circulating hormone in the male fetus, where it is responsible for the first phase of testicular descent, and in the adult...

Maternal and Paternal Genomes Differentially Affect Myofibre Characteristics and Muscle Weights of Bovine Fetuses at Midgestation
Download2013
Kruk, Z. A., Xiang R., Rutley, D. L., Thomsen, D. A., Anderson, G. I., Fitzsimmons, C., Ghanipoor-Samami, M., Hiendleder, S., Roberts, C. T., Eindorf, T., Burns, B. M., Greenwood, P. L., Johns, W. H.
Postnatal myofibre characteristics and muscle mass are largely determined during fetal development and may be significantly affected by epigenetic parent-of-origin effects. However, data on such effects in prenatal muscle development that could help understand unexplained variation in postnatal...
