Summed changes (mean ± SD) in the gene expressions of (a) IL-1α, (bb) IL-1β, (c) IL-6, (d) IL-8, and (e) TNF-α in peripheral blood of cows with metritis (n = 28) and control cows (n = 28) at 7 days before the estimated parturition (− 7 d), the day of parturition (0 d), and 7 and 30 d postpartum. Asterisks (*) indicates statisticallty significant (p < 0.05) difference between the control and the metritis group at the same time point
