Abstract:Abstract. Studies of the cervix are important for the understanding of structural and physiological changes occurring during the estrous cycle and the second half of pregnancy. The aim of the present study was to illustrate the structural differences seen in the porcine cervix, in relation to the estrogen/progesterone status of the animal. Tissue samples from the uterine portion of the cervix were collected from 23 gilts and assayed with solution hybridization for their contents of mRNA for the estrogen recept… Show more
