Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Much remains to be discovered about endocrine function in ruminant reproduction. We are pleased to invite the presentation of original research on endocrine–metabolic function and how it acts on sexual development, function, and reproduction. The topics in this Special Issue will address the mechanisms of action of hormones and their related molecules with regard to fertility, the fertilization process, early embryonic development, embryo–uterus interactions, and the different stages of pregnancy. Therefore, we welcome contributions related to the endocrine pathophysiology of reproductive tract disorders, the effects of EDCs, as well as reproductive immunology and reproductive control in domestic and wild ruminant species.
Dr. Davide Rondina
