  • Title: Peripheral plasma levels of estrone and progesterone in pregnant pigs treated with dexamethasone.
    Author: Bosu WT, Edqvist LE, Gustafsson B.
    Journal: Acta Vet Scand; 1974; 15(1):111-9. PubMed ID: 4857334.
    Abstract:
    Five pregnant pigs of the Swedish Landrace Breed were treated with dexamethasone i.m. injections during early and late pregnancy. The daily dose of dexamethasone was never more than 100 mg. There were no significant changes in the maternal plasma levels of estrone and progesterone during dexamethasone injections. The dexamethasone initiated neither abortion nor parturition. Fem dräktiga grisar (Svensk Lantras) behandlades under tidig och sen dräktighet med intramuskulära injektioner av dexametason. Den dagliga dosen dexametason överskred aldrig 100 mg. Inga signifikanta förändringar av plasmanivåerna av östron och progesteron kunde ses i samband med behandlingarna. Dexametasonet initierade varken abort eller prematur förlossning.
