The objective of the study was to evaluate the expression patterns of prostaglandin F2alpha
(PGF), prostaglandin E2 (PGE), PGF receptor (FP), PGE receptors (EP2 and EP4) …

Luteolytic capacity is defined as the ability of corpora lutea (CL) to undergo luteolysis after
prostaglandin (PG) F2α treatment. The mechanisms causing acquisition of luteolytic capacity …

The bovine corpus luteum (CL) is hypothesized to utilize a local auto‐amplification system
for prostaglandin (PG) F2α production. The objective of the present study was to determine if …

The bovine CL is one of the sites for the production of prostaglandins (PG). Although many
in vitro models, mainly using dispersed luteal cell incubations, have shown the variety of CL …

It is well known that prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) is a physiological luteolysine, and that its
pulsatile release from the endometrium is a luteolytic signal in many species. There is now …

The corpus luteum (CL) is a transient ovarian endocrine gland formed from the ovulated
follicle. Progesterone is the primary secretory product of CL and is essential for …

One of the postulated main luteolytic actions of prostaglandin (PG) F2α is to decrease
ovarian blood flow. However, before Day 5 of the normal cycle, the corpus luteum (CL) is …

The first luteal response to pregnancy in farm animals at 12–18 days after ovulation involves
maintenance of the corpus luteum (CL) if pregnancy has occurred. In most common farm …

In brief Endometrial and luteal synthesis of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2A) occurs before
and during luteolysis and is critical for luteal regression. This study demonstrates that …

To examine possible mechanisms involved in resistance of the ovine corpus luteum to the
luteolytic activity of prostaglandin (PG) F2α, the enzymatic activity of 15 …
