gonadotropin-releasing response to kisspeptin-10 and its modulation by progesterone in postpartum cyclic cows
نویسندگان
چکیده
the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of kisspeptin-10 (kp10), a shorter variant of kisspeptin retaining full biological activity, on the release of luteinizing hormone (lh) and follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) in cyclic adult cows, and the effect of plasma progesterone (p4)concentration on the response to kp10 administration. the experiments were performed using five postpartum cows (4-5 years old) treated with a progesterone-releasing intravaginal device (prid) for 7 days. the animals received a single intravenous (i.v.) injection of kp10 (5 μg/kg b.w.: 3.85 nmol/kg b.w.) for three consecutive days after the device’s removal. plasma concentrations of p4 were higher on the day of the prid’s removal (day 0: 7.3±1.1 ng/ml) than 1 (day 1: 0.8±0.1 ng/ml) and 2 (day 2: 0.6±0.1 ng/ml) days later (p

متن کاملSeasonal variation in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone response to kisspeptin in sheep: possible kisspeptin regulation of the kisspeptin receptor.
Kisspeptin signaling in the hypothalamus appears critical for the onset of puberty and driving the reproductive axis. In sheep, reproduction is seasonal, being activated by short days and inhibited by long days. During the non-breeding (anestrous) season, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotropin secretion is reduced, as is the expression of Kiss1 mRNA in the brain. Conversely, the...
متن کاملPlasma progesterone profile and conception rate following exogenous supplementation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, and progesterone releasing intra-vaginal device in repeat-breeder crossbred cows
AIM This study was designed to evaluate the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and progesterone impregnated intra-vaginal device on progesterone profile and conception rate in repeat-breeding crossbred cows. MATERIALS AND METHODS Repeat-breeding crossbred cows aged 3-8 years (n=32), lactating and negative to white side test were randomly divid...
متن کاملCorrespondence of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone and Luteinizing Hormone Secretion during Suckling in Postpartum Cows
The hypothalamus in the lower part of the brain contains neurons that produce a small peptide, gonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH, LHRH), that regulates luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion by the anterior pituitary gland. Important functions of LH include induction of ovulation in preovulatory follicles during estrus and the luteinization of granulosa cells lining those collapsed follicles to f...
متن کاملNorgestomet and gonadotropin-releasing hormone enhance corpus luteum function and fertility of postpartum suckled beef cows.
In Exp. 1,101 suckled beef cows were administered two injections of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) 11 d apart. Cows in Group 1 received no additional treatment. Cows in Groups 2 and 3 received 250 micrograms of GnRH plus 47-h calf removal. Cows in Group 3 also received a norgestomet ear implant that was inserted 4 d after the first PGF2 alpha injection and left in situ for 8 d. The second ...
متن کاملFactors affecting preovulatory follicle diameter and ovulation rate after gonadotropin-releasing hormone in postpartum beef cows. Part II: Anestrous cows.
There is large variation in dominant follicle diameter at the time of GnRH-induced ovulation in the CO-Synch protocol [a first GnRH injection on d -9 (GnRH1), followed by PGF(2alpha) on d -2, and a second GnRH injection (GnRH2) with timed AI on d 0], and the reason for the presence of small dominant follicles at GnRH2 is not known. Our hypothesis was that ovulatory response to GnRH1 and progest...
