Rapid accumulation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in the Corpus luteum during prostaglandin F(2α)-induced luteolysis in the cow. [PDF]
Prostaglandin F(2α) (PGF(2α)) induces luteolysis within a few days in cows, and immune cells increase in number in the regressing corpus luteum (CL), implying that luteolysis is an inflammatory-like immune response.

ABSTRACT Despite their widespread clinical use, there is limited pharmacokinetic data for many equine intrauterine antimicrobials. This study aimed to measure the concentration of gentamicin and penicillin in the uterine fluid of mares following infusion of either a standard (PPGent) or long‐acting (LA‐PPGent) compounded formulation.

Effects of Splenectomy on Luteolysis in Pseudopregnant Rabbits.
The effects of splenectomy on luteolysis in pseudopregnant rabbits were observed. Pseudopregnancy was induced in the rabbits by mating with vasoligated mature males and injection of human chorionic gonadotrophin (D0). In these rabbits, the concentration of serum progesterone increased for 7 days after the induction of pseudopregnancy.

Temporal expression of protein mediators during PGF2alpha-induced luteolysis in sheep [PDF]
To study dynamic in vivo biochemical changes within the corpus luteum (CL) during luteolysis, a physiological model mimicking the onset of natural luteolysis was established, in which sheep received sequential systemic pulses of PGF2alpha (20ug/min/lhr ...

Time related changes in luteal prostaglandin synthesis and steroidogenic capacity during pregnancy, normal and antiprogestin induced luteolysis in the bitch [PDF]
In nonpregnant and pregnant dogs the corpora lutea (CL) are the only source of progesterone (P4) which shows an almost identical secretion pattern until the rapid decrease of P4 prior to parturition.

Release of proinflammatory cytokines related to luteolysis and the periparturient acute phase response in prostaglandin-induced parturition in cows [PDF]
An acute phase response was previously found in cows at parturition, which might be associated with uterine cytokine release. Five late pregnant cows were implanted with vascular catheters in both the maternal aorta and uterine vein.

Diagnosis and successful treatment of open pyometra in a wild European brown hare (Lepus europaeus)
Abstract This case report describes an open pyometra in a wild adult female hare (Lepus europaeus) that was rescued in the Umbria countryside (Italy) during mid‐January. The clinical signs observed included anorexia and a mucopurulent to haemorrhagic discharge from the vulva.

Induced placentitis after vaginal manipulation in two late pregnant alpacas
Abstract Two prepartum female alpacas were referred to our institution with the presumed diagnosis of uterine torsion. In both cases, uterine torsion was not confirmed but bacterial placentitis with Escherichia coli as the aetiological agent was diagnosed.

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 ...
