Nitric oxide and prostaglandin metabolites profiling in buffaloes with impending postpartum reproductive disorders.

The article presents a study on the profiling of nitric oxide and prostaglandin metabolites in buffaloes with impending postpartum reproductive disorders (PRD). Events of calving, expulsion of fetal membranes and occurrence of PRD, including metritis, endometritis and delayed uterine involution were observed during the course of one week prepartum to four weeks postpartum period. It was observed that higher NO concentration and prostaglandin level was found in buffaloes affected with PRD.
