Introduction: Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) is mainly known to be involved in luteolysis. However, our recent studies indicate that PGF2α synthesis and its receptor (PTGFR) expression are up-regulated in the porcine endometrium during embryo implantation. Aims of present study were: i) to immunolocalize PTGFR protein in uterus; ii) to elucidate the involvement of PGF2α-PTGFR signaling in angiogenesis in the porcine endometrium.Methods: Se...
