Prostaglandins (PGs) are synthesized from arachidonic acid by prostaglandin synthase 2
(PTGS2) and specific terminal PG synthases such as PGES and PGFS. The role of PGs in …

In the dog CL are the only source of the progesterone in cyclic and pregnant animals. From
a high expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox2) at the beginning of the dioestrus and a low …

Contents Sex steroids in synergy with prostaglandins (PG) are involved in the regulation of
cyclic ovarian function. In this study, we investigated the mRNA expression of three genes …

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 …

Prostaglandins (PGs) play a pivotal role in uterine reproductive process including maternal
recognition of pregnancy, cell proliferation, and myometrium contractions in mammals. In …

Prostaglandins (PGs) are important regulators of reproductive processes including early
embryonic development. We analyzed the most relevant PG in bovine uteri at different …

The aim of this study was to characterize certain prostaglandin family members in the bovine
corpus luteum (CL) during the estrous cycle and pregnancy. The CL tissue was assigned to …

Expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2, now known as PTGS2), prostaglandin E2 synthase
(PTGES, PGES), and prostaglandin F2α synthase (PGFS), of the respective receptors …

Background In the non-pregnant dog, ovarian cyclicity is independent of a uterine luteolysin.
This is in contrast to pregnant animals where a prepartum increase of luteolytic PGF2α …

The prepartum output of PGF2alpha in the bitch is associated with increased placental
PGE2-synthase (PTGES) mRNA levels. Contrasting with this is a decreased expression of …
