Examining uterine endometrial blood perfusion using a novel laser doppler technique in Angus cows

An abstract of a study by Owen et al determining endometrial blood perfusion and hormone enzyme activity contralateral and ipsilateral to both the corpus luteum (CL) and developing dominant follicle (DF) is presented. In conclusion, endometrial perfusion relative to location of the DF were different...

Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Owen et al determining endometrial blood perfusion and hormone enzyme activity contralateral and ipsilateral to both the corpus luteum (CL) and developing dominant follicle (DF) is presented. In conclusion, endometrial perfusion relative to location of the DF were different whereas the CL location did not influence blood perfusion or uridine 5′-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase activity. This alteration in endometrial perfusion could be due to an increase in estrogen due to the presence of the DF.
