Texas AgriLife Research scientists have found that Viagra can be beneficial in promoting fetal growth in pregnant sheep.
The findings could lead to future studies involving human pregnancies, leading to potential discoveries reducing the number of infants born as low birth-weight babies with reduced chances of survival and increased risks for adult onset of disease.
Fetal development has been a focus of study in livestock species because small offspring do not do well after birth.
Viagra (sildenafil citrate) was found by researchers to increase blood flow to the uterus and fetus in female sheep, supplying amino acids ( a major fuel for fetal growth), as well as other essential nutrients.
