Retained fetal membranes (RFM) is one of the most common post-partum diseases of a complex etiology. Moreover, its pathogenesis is still not elucidated. Detailed transcriptomic analysis of physiological and retained placenta may bring profound insight in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Physiological parturition is characterized by sterile, inflammatory-like processes. During parturition, the placenta expresses various proinflammatory mediators, such as chemokines and IL-17. Nevertheless, inflammatory processes present in the parturient mare are poorly characterized.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines how artificial selection impacts the diversity of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes in three populations of horses with different breeding policies: Polish draft horses, stabled Konik Polski horses, and semiferal Konik Polski horses.
  • - DNA samples from these horse populations revealed high MHC diversity across the board, with the greatest expected heterozygosity found in the semiferal horses (0.74), while the lowest was in draft horses (0.65).
  • - Despite differing breeding methods, all populations maintained similar levels of MHC alleles and haplotypes, with the highest rate of new haplotypes produced in the semiferal Konik Polski horses, indicating robust genetic variation even under
