Effect of single dose dexamethasone administration on metabolism related parameters in lactating fat tailed sheep

This study was designed to investigate the effect of a single dose of glucocorticoid administration on the parameters related to energy metabolism in sheep. The results obtained suggest that a single dose of glucocorticoids may help improving energy metabolism through enhancement of gluconeogenesis...

Description
Summary:	This study was designed to investigate the effect of a single dose of glucocorticoid administration on the parameters related to energy metabolism in sheep. The results obtained suggest that a single dose of glucocorticoids may help improving energy metabolism through enhancement of gluconeogenesis during lactation.
