Metabolic Pathway Marker Validation The concentrations of LTB4, PGF2α, and AA in the serum of cows in the non-pregnant and pregnant groups were examined by ELISA, and it was found that, compared with the non-pregnant group, there was a significant decrease in the concentration of LTB4 in the serum metabolites of cows in the pregnant group ( p < 0.05), a highly significant decrease in the concentration of PGF2α ( p < 0.01) and a non-significant difference in the change in the concentration of arachidonic acid, AA, in the pregnant group (NS) ( Figure 4 ). 3.4.
