The following studies evaluated whether direct placement of estradiol into different brain areas could increase the satiating potency of CCK in female rats. In Experiment 1, estradiol implants in the PVN, but not in the VMN or third ventricle, significantly enhanced the satiety actions of CCK (5.0 micrograms/kg). In Experiment 2, a lower dose of CCK (0.5 micrograms/kg) suppressed food intake in females with estradiol implants in the PVN but not in animals with implants in the VMN or preoptic area. In both experiments, estradiol implants in the PVN significantly lowered food intake and body weight during the 2-day period of hormone treatment. Implants in other areas had no significant effects on feeding or body weight. These data support the hypothesis that the satiety effect of CCK is enhanced by estradiol and suggest that the PVN is involved in the interaction between CCK and estradiol.

Effects of implant status and breed type on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, sera metabolites, and immunohistochemical responses in finishing steers.

The number of beef × dairy animals entering feedlots has increased, but the response of beef × dairy cattle to growth-promoting implants has not been well characterized. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of breed type and implant administration on live performance, carcass characteristics, sera metabolites, and immunohistochemical (IHC) outcomes. Forty-eight steers (average body weight [BW] = 417±22 kg) were sorted by breed into groups of predominantly Angus (B), black-hided beef × primarily Holstein (B×D), or Holstein (D), and half of the steers within each breed type were administered a steroidal implant.

Endometriosis affects about 10 percent women in the reproductive age group globally and approximately 42 million in India. Managing the patient's pain symptoms associated with endometriosis appears to be the cornerstone in endometriosis disease management. The ideal medical treatment in endometriosis would be suppressing estradiol enough to alleviate symptoms of endometriosis but maintain sufficient levels to mitigate hypoestrogenic side effects.

Objective: Successful embryo implantation is contingent upon the intricate interaction between the endometrium and the blastocyst. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) signifies the clinical challenge of failing pregnancy post-transfer of high-quality embryos, fresh or frozen, in at least three in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, often in women under 40 years. Recent studies identify impaired blastocyst maternal tissue communication among recurrent implantation failure causes.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of ovarian hormones on dopaminergic regulation of prepulse inhibition (PPI), a measure of sensorimotor gating deficient in schizophrenia and other psychiatric illnesses. Either in adulthood (11 weeks of age) or adolescence (5 weeks of age), female mice underwent ovariectomy (OVX) and were implanted with 17β-estradiol, progesterone, or a combination of these hormones. All mice were tested in adulthood for the acute effect of the dopamine receptor agonist, apomorphine, on PPI.
