Plasma level and expression of visfatin in the porcine hypothalamus during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy
Abstract Visfatin appears to be an energy sensor involved in the regulation of female fertility, which creates a hormonal link integrating the control of energy homeostasis and reproduction. This study evaluates the expression levels of visfatin gene and protein in selected areas of the porcine hypo...
