Introduction: Hypothyroidism is the disorder influences on reproduction of many species, including dogs. However the results are different, even among the same species.Materials and methods: The concentration of TSH with species-specific monoclonal anti-TSH in dogs hypothyroidism was evaluated. TSH concentration was measured with a chemiluminescent ELISA solid phase two-point (TSH canine Immulite, DPC, LA, CA). Coefficients of variation within one were 5...

Introduction: Understanding the direction and quantity of information flowing in a complex system of myometrium is a fundamental task in signal processing. The new perception of such related functioning systems can be given by the evaluation of synchronization between signals.Materials and methods: Spontaneous uterine activity was recorded in ten mature Polish Landrace sows directly by commercial implants TL10M3-D70-EEE (DSI, USA) surgically positioned b...

Exosomes are recognized as new mediators of intercellular cell signaling between neighboring cells and distant tissues, acting independently but synergistically with growth factors and hormones. Trophoblast and stromal cells of the villi were identified as a source of exosomal miRNAs released into the maternal circulation. In this study we hypothesized that miRNAs participating in the embryo–maternal dialog are released into the maternal blood stream during early pregnanc...
