Gestational and lactational exposure to gossypol alters the testis transcriptome
Published in BMC Genomics, 2020
Our findings provide evidence that maternal exposure to gossypol alters male reproductive function in the offspring, with potential lasting or lifelong negative consequences. Read more
Genetic dissection of reproductive performance of dairy cows under heat stress
Published in Animal Genetics, 2020
Overall, our findings contribute to a better understanding of the genetics underlying the reproductive performance of dairy cattle under heat stress conditions and point out novel genomic strategies for improving thermotolerance and fertility via marker-assisted breeding Read more
Differential network analysis of bovine muscle reveals changes in gene coexpression patterns in response to changes in maternal nutrition
Published in BMC Genomics, 2020
Overall, our findings provide evidence that maternal nutrition can significantly alter gene coexpression patterns in the offspring, and some of these perturbations are mediated by changes in DNA methylation. Read more
Histological and transcriptomic analysis of adipose and muscle of dairy calves supplemented with 5-hydroxytryptophan
Published in Scientific Reports, 2021
Our data highlights tissue specific genes and pathways impacted by increased peripheral serotonin. In the adipose, serotonin impacted the expression of genes involved in pathways related to intracellular signal transduction mechanisms, lipid metabolism and fatty acid biosynthesis, cell proliferation and differentiation Read more
Effect of natural pre-luteolytic prostaglandin F2α pulses on the bovine luteal transcriptome during spontaneous luteal regression
Published in Biology of Reproduction, 2021
Thus, early, subluteolytic PGF pulses impact the luteal transcriptome, though not by altering steroidogenesis or causing direct inhibition of cellular function. Rather, small pulses alter pathways resulting in the removal of cellular support systems, which may sensitize the CL to later pulses of PGF. Read more
Maternal methionine supplementation during gestation alters alternative splicing and DNA methylation in bovine skeletal muscle
Published in BMC Genomics, 2021
Overall, our findings provide evidence that a prenatal diet rich in methyl donors can significantly alter the offspring transcriptome, including changes in isoform expression and exon usage, and some of these changes are mediated by changes in DNA methylation. Read more
Impact of Fluoxetine Treatment and Folic Acid Supplementation on the Mammary Gland Transcriptome During Peak Lactation
Published in Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
In conclusion, peripartal SSRI use and folic acid supplementation altered critical genes related to milk synthesis and mammary gland function that are important to a successful lactation. However, folic acid supplementation did not reverse changes in the mammary gland transcriptome altered by peripartal SSRI treatment. Read more
Maternal diet induces persistent DNA methylation changes in the muscle of beef calves
Published in Scientific Reports, 2023
Overall, our study provides evidence that a maternal methionine-rich diet altered fetal epigenome, and some of these epigenetic changes persisted over time. Read more
The metabolomic composition of the oviductal fluid is controlled by the periovulatory hormonal context in Bos indicus cows
Published in Biology of Reproduction, 2024
We concluded that the periovulatory endocrine milieu regulates the composition of the oviductal fluid. Read more
