Methods and compositions for synchronizing the time of insemination in swine are described. More particularly, methods are described for synchronizing the time of insemination by administration of a composition comprising a hormone, wherein the swine is inseminated only one time after administration of the hormone, and wherein there is no heat detection.

Method and composition for synchronizing time of insemination

Methods and compositions for synchronizing the time of insemination in gilts are provided. More particularly, methods and compositions for synchronizing the time of insemination in gilts using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone and a hormone for synchronizing estrus are provided.

Method and compositions for synchronizing time of insemination in gilts

The invention relates to compositions for synchronizing the time of insemination in an animal. More particularly, the invention relates to a process for manufacturing and stabilizing GnRH-containing compositions for use in synchronizing the time of insemination in an animal.

Method of manufacture of GnRH-containing gel

The present invention concerns transgenic animals that express an abnormaly high level of phospholipase A.sub.2 in their serum, liver, lung, kidney and skin. More particularly rats and mice expressing human non-pancreatic, low molecular weight phospholipase A.sub.2 are disclosed. Although transfected with a normal human gene, the animals develop a variety of pathological signs and produce the enzyme ectopically. The animals of the invention are useful for the testing of compounds to determine whether the compounds possess in vivo activity as phospholipase inhibitors or antagonists suitable for pharmacolgic use.

Phospholipase A.sub.2 expressing transgenic animals

A protective device for a motor vehicle comprises an elongate guard member having a longitudinal axis oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The guard member is variable in length between a contracted position and an extended position. A pivot assembly operatively connects the guard member to the underside of the vehicle so that the guard member can be moved between a lower position and an upper position along the side of the vehicle. As the guard member is raised to its upper position, the pivot assembly acts on the guard member to extend its length to its extended position, while lowering the guard member causes the pivot assembly to contract the guard member to its contracted position. The pivot assembly includes front and rear 'L'-shaped pivot members each having a first arm rotatably mounted in a tube attached to the underside of the vehicle, and a second arm pivotably connected to a telescoping, sliding portion of the guard member. A camming mechanism is operatively engageable between the tube and the first arm for rotating the pivot member so as to extend the guard member as the first arm moved axially out of the tube, and so as to shorten the guard member as the first arm is moved axially into the tube.
