Stella's is a familiar story — a girl's education derailed by pregnancy, experiments in relationships, tussles to claim her autonomy and authority — and I felt that if I deployed my usual ironic distance, in the third person, I wouldn't be able to tell the story as if it were important enough.
In timed pregnancy experiments, each of the maternal liver-specific UGT1A genes was induced in hUGT1 mice, with UGT1A1, UGT1A6, and UGT1A9 gene expression being the most prominent.
For pregnancy experiments, female mice were randomly introduced to males and the timing of conception was determined by detection of a copulation plug representing gd0.5.
Non-pregnant infected females or non-infected pregnant females were used as controls in pregnancy infection experiments as appropriate.
As there was no effect of SP on pregnancy rate a repeat experiment (Experiment 2) was designed to test the effect of washing and selecting motile sperm prior to resuspending in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing SP on pregnancy rate.
Twin pregnancies constitute an experiment of nature which offers the unique opportunity to explore social behaviour before birth.
1 Maternal iron deficiency during pregnancy in animal experiments results in the development of obesity and hypertension in offspring despite the offspring having normal iron levels throughout postnatal life.
As in Experiment 1, pregnancy and conception rates were greater when adult rams were used, another trial was designed to determine if there were differences in mating and mounting frequency between adult and yearling rams.
In Experiment 3, pregnancy rates of Dorset-cross sheep in the U-synch (60.7%) and Standard (12-day IPRD and eCG treatment; 56.5%) groups were greater (P = 0.01) than in the untreated Control group (43.4%).
More recently, the half-Colombian actress starred as Gaby Rodriguez, the real-life seventeen-year-old high school senior who secretly faked a pregnancy as a social experiment, in the new Lifetime movie "The Pregnancy Project".
