Estrogens have proven to be effective in bovine estrus induction protocols. Considering the
extensive use of these products in large-scale estrus synchronization, the primary objective …

Examination of transcriptional regulation occurring during pregnancy establishment and
maintenance requires the identification of endogenous reference genes characterized by …

In cattle, the endometrium during diestrus and early pregnancy displays cellular responses
that are consequences of prior, transient stimuli. Goal was to establish a model to study …

The uterine environment must provide sufficient endocrine conditions and nutrients for
pregnancy maintenance and conceptus survival. The objective of this study was to …

Increased antral follicles are associated with greater fertility and a uterine environment that
is more supportive of early embryonic development in beef heifers. Glucose is a primary …

Length of the menstrual cycle was positively associated with antral follicle number in
women. If this pattern is consistent in cattle, a value-added benefit to using automated …

Assisted reproductive technologies are used to propagate desirable genetics in a shortened
timeframe. Selected females undergo ovarian stimulation with the use of follicle stimulating …

Sperm are stored for extended periods of time in the epididymis, but upon ejaculation
motility is increased and lifespan is decreased. After insemination, sperm must traverse the …

Trophoblast cells of endometrium during bovine pregnancy with different characteristics
