Fertility human

Humans and cats both begin life as fertilized eggs, which look fairly similar. Why does a fertilized cat egg develop into a kitten, while a fertilized human egg develops into a child (Figure 2.20) A very special type of polymer, located in the cell nucleus, directs the formation of the proteins from which an organism develops. 

SAFETY PROFILE Poison by subcutaneous, intravenous, and intramuscular routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Human and experimental teratogenic and experimental reproductive effects. Human reproductive effects by subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravaginal, and intraplacental routes postpartum depression and other maternal effects, abortion, and changes in measures of fertility. Human teratogenic effects by intraplacental route extra embryonic structures. Human systemic effects by intravenous route hypermotiUty, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. Human mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.

Because human embryonic stem cell lines are derived from a fertilized human embryo, many moral, ethical, and political issues have slowed research requiring human embryonic stem cell lines (99-101). Continued research is essential to fully understanding the potential benefits of these unique cells. 

More than 50 percent of all fertilized human egg cells (ova) never complete development, never finish the process that turns a biological dot into an infant human being, never result in a live birth. The curtain usually closes before the mother is even aware that she has conceived. There are so many circumstances that can terminate prenatal development it s also a wonder of wonders that the process ever gets completed at all. 

It should be recognized that a third to a half of all fertilized human ova will not nidate in the uterus or will lead to a spontaneous miscarriage in the first three weeks of pregnancy. There can be many reasons for this, e. g., natural genetic defects. 

Cloning has been accomplished with a fertilized human egg. The human egg was allowed to divide into two and then the two cells were separated. It was revealed that each ceU continued to divide in a normal fashion to produce geneticaUy identical embryos. However, the embryos were IntentionaUy defective and did not develop any further.

Problems associated with excessive levels of nutrients and unwanted nuisance species have already been mentioned. There are cases in which intentional fertilization is used by aquaculturists in order to produce desirable types of natural food for the species under culture. Examples of this approach include inorganic fertilizer appHcations in ponds to promote phytoplankton and zooplankton blooms that provide food for young fish such as channel catfish, the development of algal mats through fertilization of milkfish ponds, and the use of organic fertilizers (from Hvestock and human excrement) in Chinese carp ponds to encourage the growth of phytoplankton, macrophytes, and benthic invertebrates. In the latter instance, various species of carp with different food habits are stocked to ensure that all of the types of natural foods produced as a result of fertilization are consumed.

Molybdenum, recognized as an essential trace element for plants, animals, and most bacteria, is present in a variety of metaHo enzymes (44—46). Indeed, the absence of Mo, and in particular its co-factor, in humans leads to severe debility or early death (47,48). Molybdenum in the diet has been impHcated as having a role in lowering the incidence of dental caries and in the prevention of certain cancers (49,50). To aid the growth of plants. Mo has been used as a fertilizer and as a coating for legume seeds (51,52) (see FERTILIZERS Mineral NUTRIENTS). 

Vitamin E was first described ia 1922 and the name was originally applied to a material found ia vegetable oils. This material was found to be essential for fertility ia tats. It was not until the early 1980s that symptoms of vitamin E deficiency ia humans were recognized. Early work on the natural distribution, isolation, and identification can be attributed to Evans, Butt, and Emerson (University of California) and MattiU and Olcott (University of Iowa). Subsequentiy a group of substances (Eig. 1), which fall iato either the family of tocopherols or tocotrienols, were found to act like vitamin E (1 4). The stmcture of a-tocopherol was determined by degradation studies ia 1938 (5).
