Abstract excerpt
Prostaglandins are involved in multiple processes important for fertility, with previous work in mice highlighting a potential role for the HSD17B12 gene in prostaglandin biosynthesis. This study aimed to determine the associations among circulating prostaglandin concentrations, a missense SNP in the HSD17B12 gene predicted to disrupt protein function, and fertility traits in first-lactation Holstein-Friesian...
