Platelet-Rich Plasma Proteome of Mares Susceptible to Persistent-Breeding-Induced Endometritis Differs from Resistant Mares.

ABSTRACT: Persistent-breeding-induced endometritis (PBIE) is the leading cause of subfertility and poor reproductive efficiency in mares. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment has been shown to mitigate PBIE, reduce uterine infections, and improve fertility in mares. However, the proteome of PRP in mares, particularly those susceptible to PBIE, remains unknown. This study aimed to fill this knowledge gap by comparing the most abundant proteins present in PRP prepared from mares with histories of being susceptible or resistant to PBIE. The study involved twelve light-breed mares: seven susceptible and five resistant to PBIE. A complete blood count and physical examination were performed on each mare before blood drawing to ensure good health. The PRP was prepared following collection in a blood transf
