P-95: Seasonal Changes in Hypothalamic Gonadotropin-Inhibitory Hormone Expression in Alectoris Chukar
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Background Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), initially discovered in birds as a hypothalamic neuropeptide, inhibits the synthesis and release of gonadotropins via affecting GnRH neurons and gonadotropes. Therefore, it could be a key neuropeptide in regulating seasonal breeding in birds. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of GnIH in the hypothalamus of male and female chukar partridges during the breeding and non-breeding seasons. MaterialsAndMethods In breeding (May) and nonbreeding (January) seasons, the brains of male (n=10) and female (n=10) sexually mature chukar partridges were removed following fixation. Sections (30 μm) were prepared from the entire hypothalamus and stained immunohistochemically (GnIH antibody was provided by Prof. K. Tsutsui). Results GnIH-immunoreactive (-IR) neurons were primarily found in PVN nucleus and few positive neurons detected in DMN nucleus. The number of GnIH-ir neurons were significantly lower in the breeding season than non-breeding season in both male and female partridges (P

This study was conducted to assess the effect of the coccidiostat halofuginone (Stenorol) on growth, feed consumption, and survival of Chukar partridge. Halofuginone was fed to three replicates (14 chicks per replicate) of chukar chicks from 2 to 7 d of age at levels of 0, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 and 12 ppm. Mortality from 2 to 7 d was 0, 0, 0, 11, and 21 birds, respectively, by treatment. Seven-day body...

Introduction: In chick embryo, endodermal component of the liver becomes split into 2 diverticula in a short time. The anterior diverticulum lies to the left of the ductus venosus and the posterior one to its right side. As the liver primordium grows, it is invaded by the embryonic veins. Based on the different incubation time periods and evolutionary origin of avian species...

Using museum specimens collected in Israel during the second half of the 20th century, no support was found for the hypothesis that body mass and tarsus length of chukar partridges Alectoris chukar has changed as a result of global warming. Body mass showed ̄uctuations during the year, reaching a maximum in late winter and spring and a minimum in summer. Bergmann's rule predicts that in warmblo...
