Ontogenesis of the Expression of Prolactin Receptor Messenger Ribonucleic Acid During Late Embryogenesis in Turkeys and Chickens
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Changes in circulating levels of prolactin (PRL) and tissue content of PRL receptor (PRLR) messenger RNA (mRNA) in the liver, pancreas, kidney, and gonads (testis/ovary) were measured in turkey and chicken embryos from embryonic day (ED) 21 or ED15, respectively, to 1 d after hatch by real-time PCR. There were no differences between the sexes in chickens or turkeys. Both species had very similar patterns of PRL release and expression of PRLR mRNA, and no major differences were observed between turkey or chicken embryos. Plasma levels of PRL increased from low levels during the last week of embryonic development and were at significantly higher levels (about 4-fold) by 1 d after hatch. Similarly, in all tissues the content of PRLR mRNA was minimal at the outset and increased to reach maxima about the time of hatch. In both species, the highest levels of transcript were observed in the kidney followed by the gonad, liver, and pancreas. The tissue content of PRLR was correlated (0.6 to 0.8 dependent on the tissue) to circulating levels of PRL, which suggested that PRL may be associated with an increase in its receptor number around the time of hatch. Because levels of PRL and tissue content of PRLR mRNA increased around the time of hatch, this suggests that these tissues may be targets for PRL and may be involved in the physiologic changes occurring in embryos around the time of hatching.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
