Porcine conceptuses secrete pregnancy‐recognition signals (estrogens, including estradiol‐
17β) that inhibit luteolysis, thereby prolonging progesterone production by corpora lutea …

Pregnancy establishment in mammals, including pigs, requires coordinated communication
between developing conceptuses (embryos with associated membranes) and the maternal …

In ruminants, the production of prostaglandins by the endometrium is critical for recognition
of pregnancy. In the absence of an embryonic signal, luteolytic pulses of PGF (2 alpha) are …

Successful pregnancy establishment in mammals depends on proper embryo-maternal
communication. Prokineticin 1 (PROK1) is a secretory protein that exerts pleiotropic …

Inadequate fetal growth cannot be remedied postnatally, leading to severe consequences
for neonatal and adult development. It is hypothesized that growth restriction occurs due to …

Blood vessel formation is a critical process for successful pregnancy establishment and
placenta formation. Angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) …

Acquisition of endometrial receptivity for embryo implantation is one of the crucial processes
during pregnancy and is induced mainly by progesterone and enhanced by conceptus …

Successful establishment and development of pregnancy requires proper communication
between developing conceptuses and the maternal reproductive tract. Prostaglandins are …

Prostaglandins (PGs) are involved in many reproductive activities including luteolysis,
maternal recognition of pregnancy, endometrial gene expression, conceptus development …

Pregnancy establishment in mammals, including pigs, requires proper communication
between embryos and the maternal reproductive tract. Prokineticin 1 (PROK1) has been …
