Luteolysis in domestic species is mediated by the release of luteolytic pulses of
prostaglandin (PG) F2α by the uterus at the end of diestrus, which must be suppressed by …

The equine embryo must signal its presence to the uterus for pregnancy to continue to term.
Mobility of the conceptus throughout the uterus is crucial for its survival, and this action …

The aim was to evaluate expression of genes involved in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins
(PTG), Prostaglandin H Synthase-1 (PTGS1) and PTGS2, PGF synthase (PTGFS), and PGE …

Accurate regulation of the reproductive cycle and successful implantation depend on proper
functioning of the endometrium. The aim of this study was to determine whether mRNA …

Expression of the gene for prostaglandin synthase (PGS) was examined in whole
endometrial tissue derived from ewes during the oestrous cycle (Days 4–14), on Day 15 of …

Prostaglandins are involved in the regulation of several reproductive processes such as
ovulation, luteolysis, and establishment of pregnancy. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) appears to …

Prostaglandins (PGs) are important regulators of reproductive functions. In ruminants,
interferon (IFN)-τ is the embryonic signal responsible for recognition of pregnancy. This is …

In ruminants, endometrial prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) is responsible for luteolysis and
prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is thought to be involved in maternal recognition of pregnancy. In …

Endometrial prostaglandins (PGs) and the PGE2/PGF2α ratio play an important role in
regulating the estrous cycle and establishment of pregnancy. The enzymes downstream of …

When incubated in vitro, peri-implantation blastocysts of many species synthesize and
secrete a variety of prostaglandins that have been proposed to play important roles in …
