Expression of mRNA (relative fold change) in genes associated with pregnancy establishment in conceptus and endometrial samples collected on day 15 of gestation, and whole blood collected on day 20 of gestation from B. indicus cows receiving or not (CON; n = 10) Ca soaps of soybean oil (CSSO; n = 10) after artificial insemination. PGES = prostaglandin E synthase; IFN-τ = interferon-tau; COX-2 = cyclooxygenase-2; ISG15 = interferon-stimulated gene 15; MX2 = myxovirus resistance 2; OAS = 20,50-oligoadenylate synthetase. All values reported are least square means ± standard error (represented as error bars). Within variable, ** p < 0.01 and * p ≤ 0.05. Adapted from Cipriano et al. [20].
