Implantation and Establishment of Pregnancy in the Pig
Fig. 8.1 The luteostatic “endocrine–exocrine” model for maternal recognition of pregnancy in the pig. In cyclic gilts, the loss of PGR in the uterine epithelia by day 10 of the…
The Role of Progesterone in Maternal Recognition of Pregnancy in Domestic Ruminants
Fig. 6.1 The effect of elevated progesterone on conceptus elongation. Transient elevation of peripheral progesterone concentrations by exogenous administration results in the acceleration of conceptus development. Photographs illustrate elongating bovine…
Transmembrane Mucin Expression and Function in Embryo Implantation and Placentation
Fig. 4.1 Structural representations of TMs. (a) MUC1, MUC4, MUC16 (not drawn to scale). Abbreviations: VNTR variable number of tandem repeats, SEA sea urchin sperm protein–enterokinase–agrin, TMD transmembrane domain, CT…
Embryonic Diapause and Maternal Recognition of Pregnancy in Diapausing Mammals
Fig. 12.1 Photoperiodic and lactational control of diapause in the mink (LHS) and tammar (RHS). In the tammar, the sucking stimulus upregulates prolactin, inhibiting the corpus luteum, initiating and maintaining…

Fig. 9.1 Timeline of events during early pregnancy in the mare 9.11 Conclusions Indirect conclusions can be drawn only about the time frame during which maternal recognition of pregnancy occurs….
Introduction
Fig. 1.1 Penile spines of the glans penis of rats stimulate the vagina of the female during mating to extend CL lifespan beyond a normal 4-day estrous cycle. If maternal…

Implantation and Establishment of Pregnancy in Human and Nonhuman Primates
Fig. 10.1 Endometrial responses to the embryonic signal in primates. Epithelial and stromal cells respond to chorionic gonadotropin (CG) and interleukin 1 β (IL-1β) during the establishment of pregnancy in…
Reflections on Rodent Implantation
Fig. 5.1 Adverse pregnancy outcomes stemming from aberrant peri-implantation events. Defects in uterine receptivity, attachment reaction, or implantation timing can result in immediate failure of implantation (i) or decidualization (ii)…
