Adv Physiol Educ 28: 64–67, 2004; 10.1152/advan.00048.2002— Experiments designed for students in reproductive physiology are rare. Here, we describe a simple experiment concerning a physiological aspect of the reproductive system. Milk samples are obtained from cows...

Plasma Estradiol-17b and Progesterone during Estrous Cycle in Caspian Mares

P-194: Follicular Fluid Adiponectin Concentrations in Follicles in The Luteal Phase of The Estrous Cycle in Dairy Cows

Background: Adiponectin is an adipocytokines which is secreted from the adipose tissue of human and domestic animals. No information is available regarding the follicular fluid adiponectin concentrations in dairy cows. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the follicular fluid adiponectin concentrations in different-sized follicles in the luteal phase of the estrous cycle in ...

Effect of Post-Mating GnRH Treatment onSerum Progesterone Profile and Conception Rate in Buffaloes

The present study was designed to investigate the impact of exogenous administration of GnRH (Receptal VET®, Intervet Pharmaceuticals Ltd., India) on serum progesterone profile and conception rates during mid luteal phase of estrous cycle in buffaloes. Estrus was induced using Cyclix 2 mL. i/m. (Intervet India Pvt. Ltd., India) and animals were bred naturally during observed estrus. The buffalo...

P-155: Pattern of Serum Adiponectin Concentrations in Normal Estrous Cycles of Postpartum High-Producing Dairy Cows

Background: There are accumulating evidences showing the role of adiponectin, a newly discovered adipocytokine secreted from adipose tissue, in the regulation of the ovarian function in dairy cows. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the pattern of serum adiponectin concentration during a normal estrous cycle in the postpartum dairy cows. Materials and Methods: Coccygeal vein blo...
