4B). For example in one study, 75% of stillbirths were recorded after the 8th pig was born when sows were allowed to farrow without intervention. Pitocin is a nonapeptide found in pituitary extracts from mammals. It is standardized to contain 10 units of oxytocic hormone/mL and contains 0.5% Chlorobutanol, a chloroform derivative as a preservative, 1.65 mg acetic acid and 0.16 mg ammonium acetate as buffers, and with the pH adjusted with acetic acid to achieve a targeted pH of 3.5. These differences were expected considering (1) variations in OXT concentrations have been reported when different OXT quantification methods are used [38], circumstance occurring among the three studies mentioned above, including the present report and (2) that differences between species in other SP components (proteins) had been previously reported and could due to species-related differences in mating strategy (vaginal vs uterine) [39]. The structural formula is as follows: Uterine motility depends on the formation of the contractile protein actomyosin under the influence of the Ca2+-dependent phosphorylating enzyme myosin light-chain kinase. The fluorescence intensity was measured through the EnSpire Multimode Plate Reader. Despite these considerations, there was a good reliability among ejaculates within boar, as ICC (3,1) was 0.78 (0.610.90; 95%). [27] reported negative relationships of SP-OXT concentrations and total sperm count, motility and morphology also in men. MeSH The possibility of increased blood loss and afibrinogenemia should be kept in mind when administering the drug. The authors of this manuscript thank to AIM Iberica (Topigs Norsvin Espaa) for providing both boar ejaculates and fertility records. Recuero S, Fernandez-Fuertes B, Bonet S, Barranco I, Yeste M. Potential of seminal plasma to improve the fertility of frozen-thawed boar spermatozoa. When peripheral nerves are stimulated, oxytocin is released into circulation wher it acts to induce smooth muscle contraction. For this purpose, it is given by injection either into a muscle or into a vein. Consideration should, therefore, be given to the possibility of water intoxication, particularly when oxytocin is administered continuously by infusion and the patient is receiving fluids by mouth. [47] in pigs, which showed that OXT is particularly active in the accessory glands, more specifically in the prostate. The fertility outcomes of inseminated sows were recorded in terms of (1) percentage of farrowing sows over total inseminated (farrowing rates) and (2) the total number of piglets born per litter (litter size).

Theriogenology. Oxytocin has a plasma half-life of about 1 to 6 minutes which is decreased in late pregnancy and during lactation. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the Ejaculate (ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, total sperm count) and sperm parameters (motility, viability, intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species, plasma membrane fluidity) were assessed at 0h and 72h in AI-semen samples stored at 17C. Oxytocin causes contraction of the smooth muscle of the uterus and of the mammary gland. Broekhuijse MLWJ, Gaustad AH, Bolarin Guilln A, Knol EF. Another common indication is when labor does not start on its own, particularly if the mother and/or baby is in any distress. Oxytocin versus no treatment or delayed treatment for slow progress in the first stage of spontaneous labour. Therefore, one of the current challenges of the swine industry focuses on discovering biomarkers that would allow a more precise selection of fertile boars. Although the specific components of SP involved in these reproductive events have not yet been fully identified, proteins and peptides would be among the major contributors [8].

Boxes enclose the 25th and 75th percentiles; the whiskers extend to the 5th and 95th percentiles and the line is the median. Oxytocin promotes contractions by increasing the intracellular Ca2+. The differences between men and male pigs in reproductive OXT secretion could be explained by differences in mating strategy. Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 1994;140(1):6372. So, how do I know so much about Pitocin? Noticeable, the results also showed that boar with best farrowing rates have ejaculates with highest SP-OXT concentrations. This study characterized concentrations of SP-OXT in ejaculates from boars used in artificial insemination (AI) programs aiming to evaluate its relationship with sperm quality variables and in vivo fertility of their liquid-stored AI-semen. All patients receiving intravenous oxytocin must be under continuous observation by trained personnel who have a thorough knowledge of the drug and are qualified to identify complications. Biology. 2004;318(2):37582. Based on the wide experience with this drug and its chemical structure and pharmacological properties, it would not be expected to present a risk of fetal abnormalities when used as indicated. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2012.04.003.

A 1995 National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) study indicates 8.2% of swine producers administer oxytocin to all sows farrowed. Some possible complications of using Pitocin include: There are also certain situations when Pitocin should not be used. Whether your birth experience goes according to plan or not, it is helpful to have adequate support, such as a partner, family, or doula. Finally, 10L of donor beads (20g/mL) was added to each well and the plates incubated at RT in darkness for 30min. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit. 2021 Jun 13;10(6):527. doi: 10.3390/biology10060527.

Direct competitive immunoassay test based on AlphaLISA used for oxytocin assessment in pig seminal plasma samples. Intravenous infusion (drip method) is the only acceptable method of parenteral administration of Pitocin for the induction or stimulation of labor. 1). The last studies in this realm have proposed searching for these biomarkers in seminal plasma (SP), a protein rich-fluid composed mainly by secretions from epididymis and accessory sex glands [8]. 2010;140(4):61322. doi:10.1002/14651858.CD006794.pub4.

That said, Pitocin does make contractions stronger, which may translate into stronger pain. a-b indicates significant differences (P<0.05) between groups of boars in the SP concentration of OXT. Recent declines in induction of labor by gestational age. Regardless of your plans, labor and delivery rarely go exactly as expected. Hyperstimulation with strong (hypertonic) or prolonged (tetanic) contractions, or a resting tone of 15 to 20 mmHg or more between contractions can lead to tumultuous labor, uterine rupture, cervical and vaginal lacerations, postpartum hemorrhage, uteroplacental hypoperfusion, and variable deceleration of fetal heart, fetal hypoxia, hypercapnia, perinatal hepatic necrosis or death.

Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. There are no known indications for use in the first trimester of pregnancy other than in relation to spontaneous or induced abortion. (Oxytocin Injection, USP) It is administered by an IV injection that helps start contractions or further them. Local OXT synthesis and the presence of OXT receptor (OXTR) have been located in the male reproductive tract of several mammalian species (pig: [20]; cow: [21]; rat: [22]; horse: [23]; sheep: [24]; human: [25]). This relationship was expected since OXT plays a fundamental role in ejaculation, stimulating contractions of smooth muscles of the male reproductive system [20] and, thereby, facilitates spermiation, the release of fluids from the accessory glands and the passive transport of sperm [45]. However, recent research has shown that oxytocin use can increase the number of pigs stillborn when used too early in the birth process. The oxytocin group is the mean of two different oxytocin sources where the sows were administered a single dose of oxytocin after the first pig had been born. Anim Reprod Sci. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Accurate control of the rate of infusion is essential and is best accomplished by an infusion pump. By Robin Elise Weiss, PhD, MPH Each dot indicates SP-OXT concentration of each individual ejaculate, dashed lines the median and dotted lines the 25th and 75th percentiles. In some cases, your plans to have unmedicated labor may be altered if your healthcare provider believes Pitocin is the right choice for you and your baby. The harvested SP was microscopically examined (Eclipse E400; Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) to check for sperm presence. 2017;14(1):6981. A 2011 review of studies found that, on average, Pitocin results in a relatively small decrease in total labor time (about two hours). doi:10.1002/14651858.CD009241.pub3, Declercq ER, Sakala C, Corry MP, Applebaum S, Herrlich A. IV. Indicators of need for obstetrical assistance are bloody discharge from the vulva, no piglets have been born in at least 40 minutes, obvious pain or straining, or a history of stillbirths. Seminal plasma proteins: what role do they play? While oxytocin Boars were grouped (hierarchical clustering, P<0.001) into three groups by having positive (green), without (grey) or negative (red) deviation. WebOxytocin is a hormone of interest in reproduction, but also in the field of psychology and behavior, being considered as a biomarker of positive emotions. the concentration of OXT in the ejaculate is merely an indicator of the fertility of the male, regardless of the use of AI or natural mating. Unlike the Mostaf study [27], the boars included in our study were all fertile, to a greater or lesser extent, but fertile. Indeed, recent studies have highlighted some SP proteins and peptides as putative biomarkers for sperm functional capacity and in vivo fertility outcomes of pig semen AI-doses [13,14,15,16]. Anim Reprod. The SP-OXT concentrations had not influence on functional sperm parameters in liquid-stored AI-semen. CAS 2020;97:1317. The easiest way to lookup drug information, identify pills, check interactions and set up your own personal medication records. This fact must be considered by the physician in exercising his judgment regarding patient selection. Pitocin is a synthetic version of the pregnancy hormone oxytocin, which causes the uterus to contract. Oh, and cervidil (also used for inductions) is made with pig SEMEN. 2006;12(4):43748.

Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Thereafter, 10L of biotinylated OXT-BSA (1 nmol/L, Cusabio Technology LLC, Houston, TX, USA) was added to each well and the plates incubated again at RT for 60min. The primary goal of Pitocin induction is to mimic the natural process of labor with an artificial or a synthetic dosage of naturally occurring hormones in a womans body. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0897.2011.01033.x. The SP was harvested immediately after ejaculate collection. The second experiment intended to find out if SP-OXT concentrations were related to the age of boars and ejaculate characteristics and if they influenced sperm parameters from diluted semen samples stored at liquid state, such as those used in AI programs. Our results also revealed that SP-OXT concentrations were not related to quality and sperm functionality parameters assessed in semen samples liquid stored at 17C during 72h. These results agree with those of Goverde et al. Although there is evidence that mammalian sperm cells have OXTR (stallion: [40]), suggesting that SP-OXT could modulate sperm functionality, our results and the aforementioned studies would indicate otherwise, by less seminal OXT would not a major influence in sperm parameters as relevant as motility, membrane integrity or lipid peroxidation. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1439-0531.2010.01622.x. The ejaculates with highest SP-OXT concentrations came from younger boars (median, 2575th percentiles; 16, 12.524.5 mos.). Oxytocin usage should be limited to older parity sows and the last half of the birth order. 2018;18(3):913. Heatmap of Spearman correlation coefficients between seminal plasma oxytocin concentrations (SP-OXT) and boar age, ejaculate characteristics and quality and sperm functionality of semen samples (n=36; one semen sample per boar) stored at 17C during 72h.

When properly administered, oxytocin should stimulate uterine contractions comparable to those seen in normal labor. The use of exogenous (not produced by the sow) prostaglandin allows the caretaker to synchronize farrowing across multiple sows or to a preferred time of day for attendance purposes. 2013;91:1322. However, there are still drawbacks in meeting this challenge, one of the most important ones being the wide variability among boars in the ability of sperm to withstand preservation, either at liquid or frozen state, as well as on in vivo fertility rates after AI [4, 6, 7]. 2007 Mar;1098:312-22. doi: 10.1196/annals.1384.006. https://doi.org/10.1111/and.12248. [35] showed that salivary OXT concentrations were related to libido in boars used in AI programs. The parameters assessed were: (1) ejaculate volume, (2) sperm concentration, (3) total sperm count, (4) sperm morphology, (5) sperm motility (total and progressive), (6) integrity of plasma and acrosomal sperm membranes (sperm viability), (7) intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by viable spermatozoa and (8) membrane lipid disorder of viable spermatozoa. 2023 Dotdash Media, Inc.

See ADVERSE REACTIONS in the fetus or neonate. The 18-AI boars included in this sub-study were those of Landrace and Large White breeds, whose semen was collected (four ejaculates per boar) over a 12-month period (one SP sample per boar every four mos.) Firstly, the frozen SP was thawed on ice and diluted in AlphaLISA Universal buffer (1:64; v/v). Intravenous infusion of 10 units of Pitocin added to 500 mL of a physiologic saline solution or 5% dextrose-in-water solution may help the uterus contract after a suction or sharp curettage for an incomplete, inevitable, or elective abortion. One-way ANOVA was carried to evaluate potential differences on SP-OXT concentration between the three groups. The medication is administered through an IV, and its effects typically start within 30 minutes to an hour. This activation would lead to an increase in myometrial contractions facilitating the passive transport of spermatozoa to the utero-tubal junction thus increasing the total amount of potentially fertilizing spermatozoa in the oviductal reservoirs [28].

State-of-the-art of boar sperm preservation in liquid and frozen state. Boar age differed (P<0.05) between the two SP-OXT groups. Anim Reprod Sci. The positive effect of the SP-OXT on fertility could be due to the fact that it activates endometrial as well as myometrial OXTRs, which are highly expressed during estrus and more especially during the periovulatory period [41]. 2000;63(2):44856.
