Changes in gene expression associated with vitamin A metabolism in the corpora lutea and endometria during d 15 of the estrous cycle and throughout gestation in gilts

Genes encoding enzymes involved in vitamin A metabolism are elevated during the period of early gestation when the anti-luteolytic mechanism of maternal recognition of pregnancy is occurring and certain genes encoding enzymes involved in vitamin A metabolism are elevated mid- to late-gestation in the endometrium of pre...
