Article Synopsis
- During breastfeeding, the mammary gland in mice increases serotonin levels, which are important for energy balance, but its exact role is not fully understood.
- Researchers removed a specific gene in mice to see how it affected serotonin during lactation.
- The results showed that the mice with less serotonin had changes in their pancreas and mammary glands but didn't eat or gain weight differently than the other mice.
The objective was to determine the effect of replacing GnRH with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on the last day of a 5-d CIDR Synch protocol (d 0) and inducing accessory corpus luteum (CL) formation with hCG 5 d later (d 5) on serum progesterone (P4) concentrations and luteal dynamics in dairy heifers. Holstein heifers (n = 207) were synchronized with a 5-d controlled internal drug release (CIDR) Synch protocol (d -8: used CIDR inserted; d -3: CIDR removed and PGF). Heifers were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments on d 0: control (G; n = 55), H (n = 50), GH (n = 53), and HH (n = 49).
