Transcriptomic analysis of the porcine endometrium during early pregnancy and the estrous cycle (original) (raw)
This study investigates the transcriptomic changes in the porcine endometrium during early pregnancy compared to the estrous cycle, focusing on gene expression related to prostaglandins and hormone synthesis. Using RNA extracted from endometrial tissues of gilts, the researchers identified differentially expressed genes and analyzed their biological significance in the context of implantation and luteolysis. Findings suggest critical gene interactions involved in the maintenance of pregnancy and potential pathways affected by hormonal changes.
