Post-breeding endometritis (ie, inflammation/infection of the endometrium), is a
physiological reaction taking place in the endometrium of mares within 48 h post-breeding …

Endometritis in the mare begins as a normal physiological inflammatory response to
breeding that involves both a mechanical and immunological response pathway activated to …

Contents A transient uterine inflammation post‐breeding is a normal physiological reaction
in the mare, and it is believed that the inflammatory response is necessary to eliminate …

Contents Rapid physical uterine clearance is paramount for fertility. Mares that are unable to
clear the by‐products of insemination or foaling quickly may develop post–mating‐induced …

Transient endometritis after breeding is necessary for clearance of bacteria and
spermatozoa; however, in a subpopulation of mares, the inflammation fails to resolve in a …

Background The objective of the study was to evaluate the gene expression of inflammatory
cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α, IL-1 receptor …

Inflammatory conditions of the uterus, collectively known as endometritis, can be classified
as acute, chronic, active, or subclinical. This condition causes substantial reductions in mare …

The objective of this article is to review the role of uterine defense mechanisms in natural
resistance to chronic or persistent endometritis. A breakdown of uterine physical clearance …

Endometrial mRNA expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β),
interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) was assessed in mares …

Diagnosis and treatment of endometritis in the mare has been controversial and mostly
empirical. The lack or inability of researchers to establish or develop a model that can serve …
