| The present study determined vascular changes in the bovine corpus luteum (CL) at Day 16 (early maternal recognition period) and Day 40 in early pregnancy and compared them to the CL from Day 12 and Day 16 of the estrous cycle. The CLs were analyzed in the central and peripheral regions, where site-depending features of vessels and angiogenic factors are evident. The same protein level of the endothelial cell marker von Willebrand factor was retained in the CL from Day 16 of the estrous cycle to Day 40 of early pregnancy. The protein level of pericytes and smooth muscle cells was determined using smooth muscle α-actin; the level decreased at Day 40 of early pregnancy in both regions of the CL. No significant change in the expressions of vascular... |
