Hormone
in the blood stream and have access to all cell types in the body
Enter the blood stream and travel to various tissues across body but only recognize tissues that have appropriate receptor
153
Receptor
docking site for hormone
- Will lead to physiological effect on that tissue
- (H+R) like two puzzle pieces that fit together – geometrical configuration must fit perfectly to bind and have effect on target tissue
154
Non target tissue
hormones + receptors won’t bind so no effect
155
Agonist
binds to R and elicit same response as native hormone
- Chemically synthesized design to have certain properties
o Bind w/ high affinity
o Can stay in blood stream for long time – longer ½ life
156

159
Whats the agonist of estrogen
estradiol cyponate
160
antagonist
binds to receptor and blocks response
161
What does hypothalamus produce
GnRH
162
What does the production of GnRH cause in the anterior pituitary
production of LH and FSH
163
What does the production of LH and FSH effect
the gonads
164
What are the negative feedback from the gonads to anterior pituitary and hypothalamus
From gonads to anterior pituitary= estrogen and and anterior pituitary to progesterone
165

-enduces more receptors to be made
-expression of alpha subunit, LH beta subunit, and FSH beta subunit that could create LH and FSH and be released from that gonadotrophin
169
Estradiol cypionate treatment
diluted in corn oil because it is a steroid hormone that doesn't like water. It cant travel through blood without protein
-was given subQ
170

saline
172

saline
173
result of estradiol treatment
-TARGETS UTERUS
-open (more swollen) vagina
-has the heaviest and largest uterus size
174
Result of PG-600 treatment
biggest ovary size is the primary change and a fluid filled uterus is a secondary change because FSH and LH act on ovary to increase estrogen and prod. to uterus
175
Result of saline treatment
-smaller uterus
-weighed less
-closed (not swollen) vagina
176
Preparing mare for AI
1. Cleaning mare genitalia
a. start by wrapping tail
b. use mild detergent on vulva to remove any fecal material or any outside material that may infect the tract
c. procedure may be done 2 to 3 times before area is dried and ok is given for insemination.
d. check status of genitalia
2. Insemination
a. through vagina
b. once hand is passed over the transurethral fold and the cervix is found w/ hand in front of semination pipette
c. pipette passed inside cervix and mares longitudinal folds (allows for this to be does easily if mare is in estress)
-semen has been deposited
177

5 mL
178
what's the min sperm concentration for hirses
500 mil live motile sperm
179
What are the ready to breed signs in mares
squatting, urinating, winking vulva

182
palpation of mare
1. enter through the rectum
2. find limb of pelvic gurdle
3. find cervic- then place of bifurcation- then horns- ovaries
