| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, we investigated the possibility of pregnancy diagnosis in cows using exosomal microRNA (miRNA) as a new biomarker. The present results demonstrated that some miRNAs were highly contained in pregnant plasma compared with non-pregnant. Furthermore, we identified also the reference miRNA for quantification of miRNA in plasma. These results indicate that measurement of selected miRNAs are reliable indicators of pregnancy in cows.
