Prostaglandins impact on ovarian, uterine, placental, and pituitary function to regulate
reproduction in female livestock. They play important roles in ovulation, luteal function …

The mechanism of ovulation entails an intricate sequence of physiological events leading
toward rupture of an ovarian follicle and release of its maturing oocyte. This process …

In many species the appearance of oestrus is sufficient to ensure that the time of ejaculation,
sperm transport and capacitation are balanced with the time of ovulation. In the pig these …

Both functions of the mammalian ovary, the endocrine and (synthesis and secretion of
steroid hormones) and exocrine (production of ova), depend upon the presence and cyclic …

Seminal plasma (SP) acts to influence the uterine endometrium after mating, activating
synthesis of embryotrophic cytokines and inflammatory changes that condition the tract for …

Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma (PPARG) regulates cellular functions
such as adipogenesis and immune cell activation. However, new information has indicated …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a PGF2α-analogue (PGF) on
ovulation and pregnancy rates after timed artificial insemination (TAI) in cattle. In experiment …

Rising rates of varicocele and diabetes mellitus (DM) pose a significant problem to human
fertility. Recent studies have pointed out the impact of cyclooxygenase (COX) in the …

Three cyclooxygenase (prostaglandin synthetase) inhibitors, indomethacin,
phenylbutazone, and oxyphenbutazone, decreased fertilization in vitro when mixed with …

Our understanding of the synthesis and production of follicular steroids and
prostaglandins(PG) in the pig is based largely on in-vitro studies with granulosa and theca …
