Steroid profile of porcine follicular fluid and blood serum: Relation with follicular development

Steroid and metabolic hormonal profile of porcine serum vis-à-vis ovarian follicular fluid

AIM This study was conducted to understand whether serum level of the steroid and metabolic hormones may be indicative of their level in ovarian follicular fluid (FF) in porcine, and its influence on fertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ovaries from pigs (n=32) of two genetic groups, namely, native (Ghungroo; n=16) and crossbred (Hampshire × Ghungroo; n=16) were collected. Both the genetic groups...

Hormonal Profile of Ovarian Follicular Fluid and Blood Plasma during Different Stages of Estrous Cycle in Holstein Cattle

The aim of this study was to evaluate the concentrations of reproductive hormones in blood plasma and in follicular fluids of different sized follicles during various stages of the estrous cycle in Holstein cattle. Jugular blood samples from 42 adult Holstein cattle were collected immediately after the slaughter. Antral fluids from small (4-5 mm), medium (6-9 mm) and large (10-20 mm) follicles ...

the influence of corpus luteum on follicular fluid composition from different size follicles and their relationship to serum concentrations in sanjabi ewes

the aim of the present study was to determine the in?uence of presence or absence of corpus luteum (cl) on hormonal and metabolites composition of follicular ?uid (ff) harvested from different sized follicles and its relationship with blood serum concentrations in sanjabi ewes. ovaries and blood samples were collected from 60 clinically healthy adult ewes (sanjabi breed) 1–3 years of age in dio...

Steroid Production and Follicular Development of Neonatal Mouse Ovary during In Vitro Culture

Fertility in rats immunized with steroid-free bovine follicular fluid.

Inhibin is a gonadal hormone that inhibits the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland. The objective of this study was to determine whether active immunization of male and female rats against inhibin rich, steroid-free bovine follicular fluid would increase inhibin antibody titre, onset of female puberty, pregnancy rate, litter size, testis weights, test...
