Schematic diagram of present experimental design. Animals rested for 20 minutes before drug administration (baseline). Drugs were administered intravenously in the left jugular vein with the animals standing. Animals were placed on the special cradle 5 minutes after the treatment. The animals were gently restrained for laparoscopy and placed on the special 45° cradle on top of a soft mattress for 10 minutes. Embryo transfer began at 15 minutes and continued till 45 minutes post-treatment. The detection of pregnancy in animals was performed by transabdominal B-mode ultrasonography 38 days after embryo transfer
