Significant correlation coefficients (r) between the mRNA expression of selected pro-inflammatory factors in the endometrial samples collected during the postpartum period on days 10, 17, 24, 31, 38 and 45, respectively (n = 5 animals) presented as a matrix format (P < 0.05). When no value is indicated, no significant correlation between the factors was observed.
