Plasma IGF1 and 17β-Estradiol Concentrations During the Follicular Wave in Llamas
The aim of this study was to characterize the temporal association between follicular waves and circulating concentrations of 17β-estradiol (E2) and IGF1 in llamas. Follicular waves could be clearly divided in three phases: growth, plateau and regression;
