Table 3 Effects of supplementing cows with inorganic (INO; n = 11) or complexed (AAC; n = 9) trace minerals during the peripartal period on mRNA expression (log-2 scale) of genes related with inflammation response, oxidative stress, eicosanoids, transcription factors and antimicrobial peptides in endometrium tissue at +14 and +30 d after parturition

From: Peripheral leukocyte and endometrium molecular biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress are altered in peripartal dairy cows supplemented with Zn, Mn, and Cu from amino acid complexes and Co from Co glucoheptonate
