A comprehensive investigation was conducted on the hormonal, biochemical, liver, kidney and mineral profiles of pregnant cows carrying mummified foetuses. The results showed a significant increase in glucose, albumin, triglycerides, cholesterol, globulin, total protein, urea, AST, ALP, bilirubin, iron and potassium in cows carrying mummified foetuses ...

ABSTRACT Using a synchronisation protocol based on estradiol esters and prostaglandin, established in cattle since the 1970s, we implemented 24 or 48‐h intervals between hormone administration and timed artificial insemination (TAI). This study compared two short‐duration TAI protocols using estradiol benzoate (EB) and cypionate (EC) as ovulation ...

Perturbations in Lineage Specification of Granulosa and Theca Cells May Alter Corpus Luteum Formation and Function [PDF]
Anovulation is a major cause of infertility, and it is the major leading reproductive disorder in mammalian females. Without ovulation, an oocyte is not released from the ovarian follicle to be fertilized and a corpus luteum is not formed.

Control of ovulation after prostaglandin treatment by means of ultrasonography and effect of the time of ovulation on conception rate in dairy cows [PDF]
Primiparous and multiparous lactating crossbred dairy cows (after Day 40 postpartum) with a mature corpus luteum (CL) (diameter of ≥ 17 mm determined by ultrasonography) and having a follicle with a diameter of ≥ 10 mm were treated with natural ...

Epidermal growth factor prevents prepartum luteolysis in the rat [PDF]
We have previously reported that intrauterine (i/u) administration of epidermal growth factor (EGF 500 ng) on day (d) 21 of pregnancy delayed 19.0 ± 0.6 h the onset of labor. Progesterone (P) is secreted by ovarian corpora lutea (CL) throughout gestation in the rat.

L‐Theanine Ameliorates Doxorubicin‐Induced Ovarian Toxicity by Reducing Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
L‐theanine is the most important nutraceutical compound in green tea. The aim of this study is to investigate for the first time whether LTN has any therapeutic effect on DOX‐induced ovarian toxicity, especially in terms of endoplasmic reticulum stress.

ABSTRACT Purpose Embryo‐maternal signaling during the establishment of pregnancy in horses remains one of the biggest mysteries in large animal physiology. Early pregnancy loss represents a major source of economic loss to the breeding industry. This study aimed to investigate the systemic changes associated with early pregnancy by mapping the proteome

Progesterone, estradiol, arachidonic acid, oxytocin, forskolin and cAMP influence on aquaporin 1 and 5 expression in porcine uterine explants during the mid-luteal phase of the estrous cycle and luteolysis:an in vitro study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The cell membrane water channel protein, aquaporins (AQPs), regulate cellular water transport and cell volume and play a key role in water homeostasis. Recently, AQPs are considered as important players in the field of reproduction.

Ovarian Dehydrogenase Activities: Suggested Adrenal Involvement in Luteolysis
Immature rat ovarian dehydrogenase activity was studied during corpus luteum regression following withdrawal of prior pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity declined to nontreatment levels whereas 6-phosphogluconate, malate, and isocitrate dehydrogenase dehydrogenases exhibited a partial return to normal ...
