The Mechanism of Action of Exogenous PGF2alpha in Clearance of Nonspecific Uterine Infections in Sheep and Pigs
… of exogenous PGF2alpha on the clearance of uterine infections in sheep and pigs. The first two experiments were designed to characterize the uterine immune response to bacterial infection under progesterone dominance in pigs. The uterine immune response to infections seems to change with …

Prostaglandins Modulate the Uterine Response to Infectious Bacteria in Postpartum and Estrous Cyclic Ewes
The uterine immune system is down regulated when exposed to P4. Five experiments were conducted to determine the in vivo and in vitro role(s) of P4 and prostaglandins in immune function(s) associated with uterine infections. In Exp. 1, postpartum ewes (d 0 = parturition) were supplemented with …

Immunophysiology of the uterus in cyclic ewes
Uterine infections in farm animals are a serious problem in developing countries. Several factors are involved in regulating susceptibility of animals to infections. The experiments conducted with ewes for this dissertation aimed to 1) Investigate the hormonal regulation of uterine immune responses …

Inflammatory response in maternal serum during preterm labour
… and a molecular pathophysiology defined. Intrauterine infection evokes an immune response that involves the release of cytokines and chemokines, prostaglandins and matrix-degrading enzymes. These substances trigger uterine contractions, membrane rupture and cervical ripening. Most intra-uterine …
