1997 article

Role of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Pulse Frequency in Differential Regulation of Gonadotropins in the Gilt

Jayes, F. C. L., Britt, J. H., & Esbenshade, K. L. (1997, April 1). Biology of Reproduction, Vol. 56, pp. 1012–1019.

By: F. Jayes*, J. Britt n  & K. Esbenshade n

MeSH headings : Activity Cycles; Animals; Antibody Formation; Drug Administration Schedule; Female; Follicle Stimulating Hormone / blood; Follicle Stimulating Hormone / metabolism; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / administration & dosage; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / analogs & derivatives; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / immunology; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / pharmacology; Luteinizing Hormone / blood; Luteinizing Hormone / metabolism; Ovariectomy; Radioimmunoassay; Swine
topics (OpenAlex): Hypothalamic control of reproductive hormones; Ovarian function and disorders; Estrogen and related hormone effects
TL;DR: The results of this study imply that the LH surge is terminated because the pituitary gland becomes incapable of responding to an otherwise adequate stimulus, and not because of exhaustion of releasable LH pools. (via Semantic Scholar)

1991 article

Passive immunization of the pig against gonadotropin releasing hormone during the follicular phase of the estrous cycle

Esbenshade, K. L. (1991, May 1). Theriogenology.

By: K. Esbenshade n

author keywords: PIG; GNRH; IMMUNIZATION; ESTROUS CYCLE
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies; Reproductive Physiology in Livestock; Animal Nutrition and Physiology
TL;DR: The results indicate that passive immunization of pigs against GnRH before initiation of or during the early part of the follicular phase of the estrous cycle retards follicular development, whereas administration of GnRH antibodies during the latter stages of follicularDevelopment does not have an affect.

1990 article

Encapsulation of porcine spermatozoa in poly-lysine microspheres

Esbenshade, K. L., & Nebel, R. L. (1990, February 1). Theriogenology.

By: K. Esbenshade n & R. Nebel*

topics (OpenAlex): Sperm and Testicular Function; Reproductive Biology and Fertility; Ovarian function and disorders
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that porcine spermatozoa can be encapsulated in microspheres and that these capsules can be inseminated into estrous females, but the sperm undergo an accelerated loss of motility in vitro and in vivo. (via Semantic Scholar)

1986 article

Body Condition of Sows Across Parities and Relationship to Reproductive Performance2

Esbenshade, K. L., Britt, J. H., Armstrong, J. D., Toelle, V. D., & Stanislaw, C. M. (1986, May 1). Journal of Animal Science.

By: K. Esbenshade n, J. Britt  n, J. Armstrong n, V. Toelle n & C. Stanislaw n

MeSH headings : Adipose Tissue / anatomy & histology; Animals; Body Composition; Body Weight; Female; Parity; Pregnancy; Pregnancy, Animal; Swine / anatomy & histology
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies; Animal Nutrition and Physiology
TL;DR: The results suggest that changes in body condition typically observed in sows housed in commercial production units may be too subtle to have an effect on reproductive performance. (via Semantic Scholar)

1986 article

Clearance Rate of Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone from Peripheral Circulation in the Pig2

Esbenshade, K. L., Vogel, M. J., & Traywick, G. B. (1986, June 1). Journal of Animal Science.

By: K. Esbenshade n, M. Vogel n & G. Traywick n

MeSH headings : Animals; Antibodies / physiology; Female; Follicle Stimulating Hormone / blood; Follicle Stimulating Hormone / metabolism; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / immunology; Immunization, Passive; Luteinizing Hormone / blood; Luteinizing Hormone / metabolism; Metabolic Clearance Rate; Swine / metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): Reproductive Physiology in Livestock; Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies; Meat and Animal Product Quality
TL;DR: The results show that the half-life of LH is similar following immunoneutralization of GnRH or administration of a bolus of LH in immunized gilts and a difference in clearance rates of LH and FSH after initial passive immunization and suggest that secretion of FSH in the ovariectomized gilt is controlled by factors in addition to hypothalamic GnRH.

Active Immunization of Gilts against Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone: Effects on Secretion of Gonadotropins, Reproductive Function, and Responses to Agonists of Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone1

Esbenshade, K. L., & Britt, J. H. (1985, October 1). Biology of Reproduction.

By: K. Esbenshade n & J. Britt  n

MeSH headings : Animals; Autoantibodies / analysis; Buserelin / analogs & derivatives; Buserelin / pharmacology; Estrus / drug effects; Female; Follicle Stimulating Hormone / blood; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / analogs & derivatives; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / pharmacology; Goserelin; Immunity, Active; Immunization, Secondary; Luteinizing Hormone / blood; Ovariectomy; Pituitary Hormone-Releasing Hormones / immunology; Prolactin / blood; Swine
topics (OpenAlex): Reproductive Physiology in Livestock; Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies; Veterinary Medicine and Surgery
TL;DR: It is concluded that cyclic gilts can be actively immunized against GnRH and that this causes cessation of estrous cycles and inhibits secretion of LH, FSH, and gonadal steroids. (via Semantic Scholar)
