| Abstract: | "Paternal heat stress has been reported not only to damage spermatogenesis, endocrine and biochemical functions of testicular tissues, but also to affect the development of preimplantation, implanting and post-implantation embryos in both animals and humans. However, the relationship between the development of preimplantation embryos and the extent of damage of germ cells during heating has not been considered in detail and the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of paternal heat stress on the development of embryos have not been investigated. These issues form the focus for the studies presented in this thesis. All work was undertaken in mice, using F1 C57/CBA progeny." -- Abstract |
