Fig. 5From: Gene expression of CCL8 and CXCL10 in peripheral blood leukocytes during early pregnancy in cowsThe gene expression levels of MX2 in peripheral blood leukocytes obtained from cows on 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 d after artificial insemination (AI). Based on the day of return of estrus, the cows were divided into three groups, pregnant (n = 5), early embryonic mortality (EEM; n = 5) and late embryonic mortality (LEM; n = 5). a Data are means ± SEM of five cows and are expressed as relative ratios of the mRNAs to GAPDH. Values significantly different from the value on 14 d after AI are shown with an asterisk (*P < 0.05). b Each line represents the data for individual cows, and the figure in parentheses indicates the day of the return of estrus in EEM and LEM cowsBack to article page
