Possible Role of Interleukin-1 in the Regulation of Bovine Corpus Luteum Throughout the Luteal Phase

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is one of the principal cytokines that participate in local regulation of many reproductive functions. The present study was undertaken to determine whether mRNAs for IL-1α, IL-1β, and IL-1 type I receptor (IL-1R) are expressed in bovine corpora lutea (CL), and whether luteal...
