摘要
The relationship between the concentration of plasma progesterone (P4) during embryo attachment or at recognition of pregnancy, and that of pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) was assessed in dairy cows. The outcome of artificial insemination (AI) was classified as positive (AI+), negative (AI-), or late embryonic mortality (EM) by measuring circulating PAG concentrations and by ultrasonography. Based on P4 concentrations at either day 21 or day 15, AI+ and EM cows were classified into 'low' (P4 concentrations < mean) and 'high' (P4 concentrations > mean) P4 groups. In both experiments, the threshold of P4 concentration between the 'low' and 'high' groups was approximately 6 ng/mL. PAG concentrations were lower in the 'low' group only when P4 concentrations were below the threshold. The study findings suggest that a possible P4 threshold exists below which PAG secretion may be impaired. Crown Copyright (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
