Effects of conjugated linoleic acids on PGE₂, PGF₂α and progesterone production by bovine luteal cells in vitro

Creator:

May, Katherine C. P.

Abstract:

Feeding conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) improves reproductive performance in dairy cows; however, the molecular mechanisms by which CLA improves reproduction are not well understood. Therefore, we evaluated whether the CLA isomers, trans-10, cis-12 CLA and cis-9, trans-11 CLA altered synthesis of steroidogenic hormones in bovine luteal cells by measuring concentrations...
