Absent or irregular ovarian cycles in lactating dairy cows are caused by failure to ovulate the dominant follicle at the appropriate time. The follicle then either regresses or develops into a cyst. This process can be triggered by a variety of metabolic

Serum relaxin levels are reduced in pregnant women with a history of recurrent miscarriage, and correlate with maternal uterine artery Doppler indices in first trimester [PDF]
Objectives: Defective implantation is a mechanism for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). We sought to determine whether the serum expression of human relaxin-2 (RLX) is impaired in women with a history of RPL.

Heterogeneous cell types in the corpus luteum of sheep, goats and cattle.
Data on the structure, quantitation, origins and functions of the large luteal (LL) and small luteal (SL) cells of sheep, goats and cattle are reviewed. Both LL and SL cells show ultrastructural features consistent with a steroidogenic function. However,

Differential actions of second messenger systems in the corpus luteum.
Our current working hypothesis for the intracellular mechanism of action for LH and PGF-2 alpha is shown in Fig. 8. Luteinizing hormone appears to act primarily on the small luteal cell through the cAMP/protein kinase A effector system and thereby ...

Estrous cycle-dependent changes of Fas expression in the bovine corpus luteum: influence of keratin 8/18 intermediate filaments and cytokines [PDF]
Background Fas expression and Fas-induced apoptosis are mechanisms attributed to the selective destruction of cells of the corpus luteum (CL) during luteal regression.
