Parturition
Definition:
(n.) The act of bringing forth, or being delivered of, young; the act of giving birth; delivery; childbirth.
(n.) That which is brought forth; a birth.
Example Sentences:
(1) In all cases foetal administration of glucocorticoid led to the onset of labour, and lambing, and in all animals the hormonal changes preceding parturition were indistinguishable (either qualitatively or quantitatively) from the changes observed in animals carrying intact lambs.
(2) Current approaches to control fertile estrus and parturition in the pig are discussed.
(3) The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to pineal influences on parturition.
(4) Following parturition, NONLAC cows averaged 4.0 d to negative EB nadir and 14.3 d to first ovulation.
(5) A close similarity was evident between variation in ATP and somatic cell count, except during the first 10 d after parturition when the variation in ATP was more pronounced.
(6) Of the remaining 10 women, 3 had to be operated on, whereas 7 received only conservative treatment, as the expected time for parturition was very close.
(7) Prolonged administration of rat prolactin antiserum resulted in an increase in the incidence of resorptions, but pregnancy was still maintained followed by normal parturition.

(12) These data do not agree with the conclusions drawn from observations in other mammals that a disappearance of adrenergic nerves from the myometrium is associated with the initiation of parturition, or that gap junction formation is associated with changes in nerve function.
(13) The maternal adrenal and plasma corticosterone levels, before parturition, were lower in the morning than in the afternoon excepting day 22 when morning values were as high as those in the afternoon of day 21.
(14) Adverse effects on conception, pregnancy, or parturition were not observed in the treated bitches.
(15) The concentration of progesterone in peripheral blood increased by more than 300%, on an average, from the 25th day after parturition.
(16) Absolute leukocyte values increased through gestation and reached maximum values shortly before parturition.
(17) Dilatation of the cervix at parturition necessitates changes in the physical characteristics of cervical collagen and glycosaminoglycans which are probably hormone-dependent.
(18) Conversely, in 5 pregnant and 1 non-pregnant tammar injected with ovine prolactin on Day 23, to mimic the condition induced by advancing the time of parturition with progesterone, the decline in plasma progesterone was not advanced and the endogenous prolactin pulse, parturition, post-partum ovulation and the LH pulse all occurred after intervals similar to those of controls.
(19) Because we previously demonstrated that oxytocin releases ET-1 from endometrial cells in primary culture and that endometrial and myometrial oxytocin receptors abruptly rise at the time of parturition, we propose that ET-1 might participate in the complex cell-to-cell interactions that occur during labor.
(20) Concentrate consumption should be increased gradually following parturition, and careful attention to the soluble and undegradable protein fractions of the diet is warranted.
