The corpus luteum (CL) is essential for maintenance of pregnancy in all mammals and luteal
rescue, which occurs around day 16–19 in the cow, is necessary to maintain luteal …

Although rescue of the corpus luteum (CL) is required for pregnancy, luteal function during
maternal recognition of pregnancy remains largely unexplored. CL were collected from …

Understanding luteal maintenance during early pregnancy is of substantial biological and
practical importance. Characterizing effects of early pregnancy, however, has historically …

Background In the domestic dog, corpora lutea (CL) are the only source of progesterone
(P4), both in pregnant and non-pregnant cycles because there is no placental …

In ruminants, prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2α)-mediated luteolysis is essential prior to
estrous cycle resumption, and is a target for improving fertility. To deduce early PGF2α …

Several recent studies have used transcriptomics to investigate luteal changes during the
maternal recognition of the pregnancy period in ruminants. Although these studies have …

Background Maintenance of the corpus luteum (CL) beyond the time of luteolysis is
essential for establishing pregnancy. Identifying the distinct features of early pregnancy CL …

The hypothesis that ovine luteal gene expression differs due to pregnancy status and day of
estrous cycle was tested. RNA was isolated from corpora lutea (CL) on days 12 and 14 of …

Context: Inadequate progesterone production from the corpus luteum is associated with
pregnancy loss. Data available in model species suggest important roles of microRNAs …

To unveil novel global changes associated with corpus luteum (CL) maturation, we analyzed
transcriptome data for the bovine CL on days 4 and 11, representing the developing vs …
