During the estrous cycle, LIF expression was greatest at late
diestrus and proestrus phases.
Cytological features following vaginal smear represent each stage of estrous cycle Stage of Nucleated Squamous Cornified squamous estrous cycle epithelial cells epithelial cells epithelial cells Proestrus + - - Estrus - + - Metestrus - - +

Diestrus + Proestrus, predominantly consisting of nucleated epithelial cells; estrus, with cornfield squamous epithelial cells; metestrus, consisting of cornified squamous epithelial cells and predominance of leukocytes; and
diestrus, consisting predominantly of leucocytes Table 2.
Figure 8 shows behavioral parameters depend on estrus and
diestrus. There was only one estrous HD female in the test, which complicated the statistical analysis of the estrous cycle.
A complete estrous cycle for females 4 and 1* (proestrus, estrus, and metestrus or
diestrus) was observed.
reported that the GSH content in the ovaries increased from the oestrous to metestrus phase compared with the
diestrus to pro-oestrus phase in adult rats [103].
In particular, cDCs generated in the absence of E2 produced an amount of IL-12 that was not significantly different from that produced by cDCs generated with
diestrus levels of E2 (Figure 3(a)).
Blood sample were collected on post-partum day (PPD) 60, 82 and 105 of the lactation stage during
diestrus. DMY varied significantly with PPDs and within breed (P<0.001).
4--The fourth stage is named
diestrus (mainly leucocytes), lasts for 55 hrs.
The team wanted to know why females are indifferent to males during the infertile period known as
diestrus.
The same study focused on the influence of Neem alcoholic extract on the estrus cycle of rats treated with 1000mg [kg.sup.-1] during 21 days, and found there was an increase in duration of the
diestrus and, thus, a decrease in estrus frequency.
