This study explored the personality traits of 15 women who served as surrogate mothers in a California-based surrogacy program. Their satisfaction with their service providers, i.e., the program director, psychologist, and medical doctor, were explored. All had given birth to one or more children, and five had been a surrogate more than once. 13 used in vitro fertilization, with only two choosing artificial insemination. 15 subjects were given the NEO–R Personality Inventory, a global measure of normal personality traits. Analysis indicated that surrogates overall were very pleased with their experiences, and they differed from the general population on nine personality traits.

En los últimos años nos encontramos inmersos en un profundo debate social, político y jurídico en torno a la llamada maternidad subrogada. Ésta, que consiste en la implantación por fecundación in vitro o inseminación artificial de un embrión en una madre gestante, con la que los padres de intención han firmado un contrato previo, con o sin remuneración económica, implica un auténtico conflicto de derechos fundamentales y bienes jurídicos. El presente estudio pretende, a través del análisis de la jurisprudencia existente, detectar los derechos de todos los sujetos implicados y extraer parámetros de ponderación que garanticen la protección de aquellos que deben priorizarse. Y ello con el fin de orientar la resolución de futuros casos y en el diseño de políticas en materia.In recent years we are immersed in a deep social, political and legal debate about the so-called surrogate motherhood. This practice, which consists of the implantation by in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination of an embryo in a mother, with which the parents of intention have signed a previous contract, with or without economic remuneration, implies a real conflict of fundamental rights. The present study intends, through the analysis of existing jurisprudence, to detect the rights of all the subjects involved and extract balancing parameters that guarantee the protection of those that must be prioritized, in order to guide the resolution of future cases and the design of policies in this area.

The insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor gene (IGF2R) is involved in fetal growth regulation. A study in sheep associated fetal overgrowth after in vitro embryo culture with abnormal DNA methylation and expression of IGF2R (Young et al. 2001 Nat. Genet. 27, 153–154). This suggested that abnormal IGF2R imprinting is a major cause of fetal overgrowth. To test this hypothesis in bovine fetuses, we developed a microsatellite marker for IGF2R from cDNA sequence data and screened 45 Day-80 fetuses generated in vivo, by artificial insemination (AI), or in vitro, by in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, for parent-of-origin-specific gene expression. A total of 17 fetuses were heterozygous, but available parental DNA samples showed that only 12 (8 AI, 4 IVF) allowed unambiguous discrimination of parental alleles. Parent-of-origin-specific allelic expression patterns indicated that bovine IGF2R was expressed predominantly from the maternal allele and thus imprinted in fetal heart, kidney, liver, lung, muscle, and cotyledon tissue. However, the relative amount of expression from the paternal allele was tissue-specific and ranged from 6.4 ± 0.8% in skeletal muscle up to 27.4 ± 0.9% in cotyledon (SPSS or 11.5, ANOVA, P < 0.001). Tissues that originated from the same germ layer showed similar allelic expression ratios whereas significantly different expression ratios (P < 0.05) were observed between tissues originating from different germ layers. Contrary to expectations from sheep data, there was no evidence for gross abnormalities in IGF2R imprinting in tissues from overgrown (n = 2) or normal sized (n = 2) IVF fetuses. However, relative paternal expression levels in several tissues showed significant relationships (P < 0.05–0.001) with growth parameters and pointed to subtle changes in paternal IGF2R expression in overgrown IVF fetuses.

Objective: To describe the anatomy, morphology and physiology of the reproductive system of male jaguars, as well as assisted reproduction techniques. Methodology: A literature review on the anatomy and morphology of the jaguar´s reproductive system, its physiological characteristics and assisted reproduction techniques were carried out to document relevant information on the topic. Results: With this review, basic aspects of the morphology of the reproductive system of the jaguars are disclosed, although scarce knowledge is available on their reproduction. The advances in the collection, evaluation and cryopreservation of semen of this feline are shown, in addition to assisted reproduction techniques such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization, which have a great potential to safeguard the species. Study limitations: The jaguar, an emblematic species of Latinamerica, is an endangered species, like other wild felids species as ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and margay (Leopardus wiedii), which makes it necessary to have a national assisted reproduction program. However, for this to be possible, information about their reproductive physiology is necessary, which is complicated in wild animals and even more so because the reproductive mechanisms greatly differ between felids species. There is scarce information in this regard from its free-living or Mexican zoos, it is for this reason necessary to generate such information. Conclusions: It is necessary to continue working on designing protocols for artificial insemination and other assisted reproduction techniques such as in-vitro fertilization specifically for male Panthera onca.
