Includes bibliographical references (leaves 174-191). / xvii, 191 leaves: ill. ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / Studies the functions of galactosyltransferase (GalTase) and b-lactalbumin (b-lac) in mammalian reproduction. Investigates whether GalTase and b-lac-like proteins are widely present in epididymal plasma of various mammalian species and their function in reproduction; whether GalTase is also present in luminal plasma of the female reproductive tract, where sperm capacitation and fertilization occur; and, whether GalTase is also the sperm's receptor for zona in other species than mouse. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Animal Science, 1994

Parameters impacting the reproductive fitness of Tursiops truncatus (Atlantic bottlenose dolphin): interactions between native endocrinology and endocrine-disruptorsUnknown Date (has links)
Persistent, anthropogenic contaminants collectively known as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), are considered to be potential threats to wildlife reproductive fitness (Wingfield, 2002). The modes by which EDCs act on the reproductive system, and establishment of steroid profiles in wildlife, are important areas of study. Two means of performing an endocrine snapshot profile from dolphin tissues (serum and urine) were tested on samples, comparing a novel high performance liquid chromatography method to newly-validated enzyme-linked immunoassays (ELISAs). Serum and urine samples were obtained from two marine parks, and from free-ranging dolphins in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) and Charleston Harbor (CHS) systems. Relative binding affinities of steroids versus putative EDCs to steroid receptors were compared in dolphin reproductive tissues, obtained by the Georgia Aquarium's Dolphin Conservation Field Station (GADCFS) from strained bottlenose dolphins (four male, three female) during 2010 and 20ll.........I conclude that endocrine disruptors are tissue and receptor specific, and both legacy and emerging contaminants are of concern to dolphin stocks, particularly those facing other significant environmental stressors. / by Sharon M.

Effects of low level lead and cadmium on reproduction in Peromyscus leucopus and a study of lead concentration in small mammals from old orchardsYocum, Susan Marie 10 June 2012 (has links)
Lead and cadmium frequently occur together as contaminants in polluted environments such as roadsides, urban areas, mines, and smelters. Few studies have been conducted to examine the possible interactive effects these metals may have on reproduction of wild species.
The first part of this study was directed toward examining the effects of low level dietary lead and cadmium on reproduction in Peromyscus Jeucopus. Two laboratory studies were conducted. Treatment with combinations of 0, 1 or 4 μ/g lead acetate and/or cadmium chloride was found to have no effect on overall health or reproductive ability of white-footed mice. In a second, experiment mice were treated with combinations of 0 or 10 μg/g lead acetate and/or cadmium' chloride. Treatment was continued through three generations of mice (P1, Fl, F2); progeny of the P1 were paired with nonrelatives in the same group and continued on the same treatment. Percentage-of pairs producing at least one litter in a ten week period was reduced in mice receiving both lead and cadmium. By the F2 generation only one of ten pairs produced offspring. There were minor variations in litter parameters (# pups/litter, birth weight, weanling weight and viability of litters) measured for the three generations; however, treatment did not appear to greatly affect litters in those pairs which had litters. In the P1 generation kidney weights were lower in mice receiving lead and epididymidis weight was higher in mice receiving cadmium. Mice (P1) receiving cadmium and lead had lower numbers of spermatozoa/mg testis. Lead content of carcass, liver and kidneys was analyzed in mice from the P1 generation.
The second part of this study examined the persistence of lead in the environment after the source of contamination has been removed. Short-tailed shrews (Blarina brevicauda) trapped in an orchard with a history of lead arsenate use had higher whole body lead concentrations than individuals of the same species trapped in a control orchard. Within the treated orchard lead concentrations in pine voles (Microtus pinetorum) were significantly higher than concentrations in short-tailed shrews. / Master of Science
