Preeclampsia is a major reason of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women and perinatal fetus. Hence, it is of prime importance that diagnostic markers are defined to predict chances of preeclampsia in pregnant women. It has been previously shown that microRNA (miRNA)-376c expression is decreased in th...

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (10), 2018

5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) are modified cytosines found in mammals that are involved in the regulation of gene expression. The aim of this study was to characterize the global patterns of 5-mC and 5-hmC of the fetal placenta of Nellore cattle as well as blood and sperm as...

Intrauterine growth retard (IUGR) continues to be a significant perinatology problem at the end of this century. The nature of the etiologic agent, the time when the attack occurred during pregnancy and its duration affect the type of IUGR. Objective: To study the evolution of fetal pancreas and placenta...
