Induction of transient functional luteolysis in cyclic sheep by a 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor [PDF]
The mechanism by which prostaglandin F(α) terminates luteal function in the sheep is unclear even though it is used extensively in animal husbandry. At the time of luteal regression, a decrease in 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) activity is ...

Exacerbated conceptus signaling does not favor establishment of pregnancy in beef cattle
Background Insufficient production of anti-luteolytic signals by the pre-attachment embryo is considered a major cause of pregnancy failure in cattle. We tested the hypothesis that transfer of multiple blastocysts (n = 5/recipient) and progesterone (P4 ...

Spontaneous Luteolysis in the Cyclic Golden Hamster: Evidence for Mediation Through Inflammation and Apoptosis [PDF]
Mammalian corpora lutea (CL) are transient ovarian glands which function to support pregnancy by secretion of progesterone (P). Sustained P secretion during pregnancy in the hamster requires gonadotrophic support, i.e., follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

Background Endocrine mechanisms governing canine reproductive function remain still obscure. Progesterone (P4) of luteal origin is required for maintenance of pregnancy.

Validation of a novel milk progesterone-based tool to monitor luteolysis in dairy cows: Timing of the alerts and robustness against missing values [PDF]
Automated monitoring of fertility in dairy cows using milk progesterone is based on the accurate and timely identification of luteolysis. In this way, well-adapted insemination advice can be provided to the farmer to further optimize fertility management.

PREOVULATORY CHANGES AND OVULATION IN CATTLE UNDERGOING SPONTANEOUS OR CLOPROSTENOL-INDUCED LUTEOLYSIS [PDF]
The follicular population, diameter of the ovulatory and subordinate follicles, corpus luteum (CL) size, concentration of progesterone and estradiol-17p were studied following spontaneous or cloprostenol-induced luteolysis. A total of 14 heifers received
