Monitoramento do ciclo estral de éguas por meio de ultrassonografia e biopsia uterina

Abstract

The use of ultrasonography has facilitated the real-time characterization of ovarian structures and uterus, being able to follow the waves of follicular development and endometrial changes. However, it is not the only alternative to monitor the mitotic activity of the endometrium. The use of histology and immunohistochemistry, through uterine biopsy can be performed to monitor endometrial changes responsive to hormones, as well as to detect possible problems of subfertility.
