Domestic dogs are monoestrous, typically non-seasonal, polytocous, spontaneous ovulators
and have a spontaneous luteal phase slightly longer (by approx 5 day) than the 64±1day …

Canine reproductive physiology exhibits several unusual features. Among the most
interesting of these are the lack of an acute luteolytic mechanism, coinciding with the …

This study was carried out to investigate the protective effect of troxerutin against d-

In nonpregnant and pregnant dogs the corpora lutea (CL) are the only source of
progesterone (P4) which shows an almost identical secretion pattern until the rapid …

Among domestic animal species, the reproductive biology of the dog belongs to the most
peculiar. This includes the conceptus-maternal communication and endocrine mechanisms …

Of the four prostaglandin (PG) E receptor subtypes (EP1–EP4), EP2 and EP4 have been
proposed to mediate the anabolic action of PGE2 on bone formation but comparative …

The cellular mechanisms underlying normal and pathological endometrial bleeding are not
well understood, although abnormalities in the structure of endometrial blood vessels may …

PPARγ is a nuclear hormone receptor of the PPAR family of transcription factors closely
related to the steroid hormone receptors serving multiple roles in regulating reproductive …

Although similar at the molecular and cellular levels, endocrine mechanisms governing
reproductive function in the domestic dog (Canis familiaris) differ markedly at the regulatory …
