Effects of different cyclooxygenase inhibitors on prostaglandin E2 production, steroidogenesis and ovulation of bovine preovulatory follicles

Ovulation is an inflammation-like process, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is its key mediator. Balanced regulation of inflammatory processes in high-yielding dairy cows may be essential for physiological ovulation and fertility. This study aimed to eluci...
