Heat stress (HS) negatively affects reproduction in pigs, though the precise mechanisms are not understood. This study determined if HS impacts the JAK-STAT signaling pathway in the ovary during two stages of the estrous cycle: follicular and luteal. While circulating prolactin hormone level was unchanged, there were changes to some aspects of ovarian JAK-STAT signaling that could be involved in infertility induced in pigs during HS.
