چکیده

the present study investigated serum cortisol in response to postpartum ovarian resumption and luteal function. postpartum ovarian resumption was detected based on a rise in progesterone (p4) concentrations during three weeks after calving. twenty two holstein cows in a semi-closed dairy farm in qena city, egypt were used. the study was carried out from late march to early june; the period characterized by a good temperature humidity index (thi) and absence of heat stress. according to the concentrations of p4 in serum (p4 >1.0 ng/ml), 11 of the 22 cows resumed the ovarian activity within three weeks after calving (ovarian resumption cows). no effect of thi was found during the postpartum period of study on the concentrations of p4, cortisol and cholesterol in the ovarian resumption or non-ovarian resumption group. in the former, cholesterol showed a significant correlation with both p4 (r=0.405, p

Luteal blood flow and luteal function

BACKGROUND Blood flow in the corpus luteum (CL) is associated with luteal function. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether luteal function can be improved by increasing CL blood flow in women with luteal phase defect (LFD). METHODS Blood flow impedance in the CL was measured by transvaginal color-pulsed-Doppler-ultrasonography and was expressed as a resistance index (RI). The...

Proliferation of Luteal Steroidogenic Cells in Cattle

The rapid growth of the corpus luteum (CL) after ovulation is believed to be mainly due to an increase in the size of luteal cells (hypertrophy) rather than an increase in their number. However, the relationship between luteal growth and the proliferation of luteal steroidogenic cells (LSCs) is not fully understood. One goal of the present study was to determine whether LSCs proliferate during ...

Administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone during metoestrus in cattle: influence on luteal function and cycle length.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) has been used to warrant the success of artificial insemination by accurately timing occurrence of ovulation. In practical conditions, GnRH may be administered too late, after ovulation, with an eventual reduction in pregnancy rate. The aim of this study was to investigate whether GnRH administration after ovulation would have a negative effect on luteal fu...

Assessment of progesterone profiles and postpartum onset of luteal activity in spring calving Hereford beef suckler cattle

BACKGROUND Reproduction is the single greatest factor limiting beef cattle production. Previous research on beef suckler luteal activity has largely focused on the mechanisms, and duration, of postpartum anoestrus. However, the temporal pattern of luteal activity after resumption of post-partum ovarian activity, and the impact of pattern type on days open (DO) in purebred beef suckler cows, are...
