Research summary
AI-generated

Rafael R. Domingues studies reproductive biology in livestock (mainly cattle, and some sheep and horses), focusing on pregnancy establishment, hormone signaling, and fertility. His work examines topics such as progesterone and pregnancy-associated glycoproteins, embryo transfer and synchronization protocols, ovarian and luteal function, and how factors like maternal serotonin or antidepressant exposure during pregnancy affect reproductive and offspring outcomes. This research is intended to improve breeding efficiency and understanding of pregnancy loss in farm animals, with some findings also relevant to mammalian reproductive physiology more broadly.
