Contents This review attempts to summarize the current knowledge on uterine inflammatory
response after mating in horses, pigs and cattle. Post‐mating endometritis has been …

Insemination of mares with bacteria-free equine spermatozoa results in an influx of
polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) into the uterine lumen. In vitro studies have …

When spermatozoa, seminal plasma and semen extender reach the uterus and interact with
local leukocytes and endometrial cells, several immune mechanisms are initiated which …

Persistent mating-induced endometritis (PMIE) results in decreased fertility in horses,
thereby causing a significant impact in the horse market. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a …

After artificial insemination or mating an inflammatory response is induced by spermatozoa
and components of the inseminate or ejaculate. In order to investigate the inflammatory …

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 …

The effect of seminal plasma on polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) chemotaxis, PMN
phagocytosis and complement-induced cytolysis was determined using blood plasma …

In the cow, cryopreserved semen is inseminated into the uterus, and most of sperm are
removed by backflow and phagocytes. Nevertheless, the mechanism responsible for sperm …

Seminal fluid contains potent signaling agents that influence female reproductive physiology
to improve the chances of conception and pregnancy success. Cytokines and …

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 …
