Table IV. Comparison of abundance of sheep proteins during the oestrus cycle with other species. The proteins identified in the female genital tract of the sheep were classified into two groups: more abundant either (1) at estrus or (2) during luteal phase. Based on previous studies, the genes (mRNAs or proteins) showing the same regulation along the cycle in other species are indicated as black boxes in the table. These data are taken from the following references.
