physiological reaction taking place in the endometrium of mares within 48 h post-breeding …

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is the most abundant prostaglandin in the human body. It has a
large number of biological actions that it exerts via four types of receptors, EP1–4. PGE2 is …

Horses are long-day breeders. During the breeding season, cycle length is about 22 days
with 5–7 days of oestrus. Gonadotroph cells are localized in the pars distalis as well the pars …

Implantation is an intricately timed event necessary in the process of viviparous birth that

The process of blastocyst implantation in mammals is remarkably variable, especially in the
extent of trophoblast invasion of the endometrium. In most species studied, the earliest …

The decidua is a hallmark of reproduction in many placental mammals. Differentiation of
decidual stromal cells is known to be induced by progesterone and the cyclic AMP/protein …

Establishment and maintenance of pregnancy are critically dependent on embryo-maternal
communication during the preimplantation period. To gain new insights into this complex …

Expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2, now known as PTGS2), prostaglandin E2 synthase
(PTGES, PGES), and prostaglandin F2α synthase (PGFS), of the respective receptors …

Establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in equids is only partially understood. To
provide new insights into early events of this process, we performed a systematic analysis of …
