the aim of this study was to evaluate the defense cells changes of cervical mucous during follicular and luteal phases of estrus cycle in river buffalo. reproductive organs of the adult and apparently healthy female buffaloes were collected from the slaughterhouse. by visual investigation of both the ovaries for presence of corpus luteum and growing follicles, the luteal and follicular phase of...

to investigate uterine and serum ca++ and mg++ variations during the estrous cycle in the bovine, 66 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from urmia abattoir, urmia, iran. the phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examination of the structures present on ovaries and uterine tonicity. of the collected samples, 17 were pro-estrus, 12 estrus, 14 metestrus and 23 diestrus. the ute...

the transcriptional factor sox2 regulates the expression of some of the developmental genes, which are essential for the maintenance of pluripotency of stem cells. sox2 also expresses in the female gamete during folliculogenesis, but its role remains ambiguous. the aim of this study was to investigate the expression of sox2 in the mice ovarian tissue during different stage of estrous cycle. adu...

to investigate uterine fluid and serum copper (cu) and zinc (zn) variations during the estrous cycle in water buffaloes, 71 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from the abattoir in urmia, iran. the phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examining ovarian structures; 18, 15, 16 and 22 were pro-estrous, estrous, met-estrous and diestrous, respectively. the uterine fluid was coll...

Methomyl is an oxime carbamate pesticide that is widely used in the Philippines. This insecticide is known to be an endocrine disrupting chemical and a potent genotoxic in mammalian cells. However, limited studies were conducted specifically on its direct effects on estrous cycle and its teratogenic effect. This study aimed to (a) assess the effect of methomyl on the body weight and on the estr...

to investigate uterine fluid and serum calcium (ca) and magnesium (mg) variations during the estrus cycle in water buffaloes, 71 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from the abattoir in urmia. the phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examining ovarian structures. 18 animals were pro-estrous, 15 estrous, 16 met-estrous and 22 diestrous. the uterine fluid was collected by gent...

the transcriptional factor oct4 regulates pluripotency of stem cells and has an important role during oocyte growth. whereas, its role has remained ambiguous in ovarian tissue during reproductive cycle. therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the expression patterns of oct4 in mouse ovaries during the normal estrous cycle. adult national medical research institute mice were classified as...

background: receptor for hyaluronic acid mediated motility (rhamm) has intracellular and extracellular functions. in this study, we focus on the expression of rhamm in the rat uterus during estrous cycle and implantation period. methods: the female adult rats were divided into six groups following estrous cycle determination (n=36). the utreri of rats were collected according to estrous cycle p...
