Lack of LH response to exogenous estradiol in heifers with ACTH-induced ovarian follicular cysts.

چکیده
The aim of the present study was to examine the LH response to exogenous estradiol in 4 heifers with ACTH-induced ovarian follicular cysts. During the control experiment, administration of estradiol 24 hr after PGF2alpha in luteal phase heifers resulted in a LH response in all 4 heifers. The LH response was obtained between 16-20 hr after estradiol administration. The peak LH concentration (Mean +/- SEM; 5.1 +/- 0.8 ng/ml) during the control study was significantly different (P<0.05) from the concentration after cyst formation. None of the 4 heifers responded to estradiol after ovarian cyst formation. This result suggests that heifers with ACTH-induced ovarian follicular cysts may have a defective hypothalamio-pituitary response to exogenous estradiol similar to cows with spontaneous ovarian cysts.

The role of LH pulse frequency in ACTH-induced ovarian follicular cysts in heifers.
The aim of the present study was to induce ovarian cysts experimentally in cattle using ACTH and to closely examine the role of LH pulse frequency in ovarian cyst formation. Five regularly cycling Holstein-Friesian heifers (15-18-month-old) were used. Ovaries were scanned daily using an ultrasound scanner with a 7.5 MHz rectal transducer. Daily blood samples were obtained via tail venepuncture ...

cows 2 weeks after parturition and in diestrous and proestrous heifers. Serum LH concentrations increased after LH-RH treatment and the greatest response was observed in cows with ovarian follicular cysts. Serum progesterone concentrations were increased at 6 hours after LH-RH in animals which had functional luteal tissue in the ovaries but serum estradiol and estrone were unchanged. Ovarian fo...

It is known that the follicular selection and final stages of follicular maturation are equal if not more dependent on low circulating levels of LH.In addition to stimulating production of thecal androgens as substrate for estrogen synthesis, LH stimulates granulose cell via LH receptors induced by FSH and estrogen in larger but not smaller follicles. The data from numerous assisted reproductio...

Background: With the recent development of recombinant gonadotropins (FSH and LH), it has become possible to further adjust the stimulation protocol according to the expected needs of the patient. In this respect, the possible beneficial role of exogenous LH activity supplementation for stimulated ART cycles has received increasing attention. According to the two-cell, two- gonadotropin theory,...

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder. Various constituents including flavonoids with biological activities including free radical scavenging, anti-lipoperoxidation and anti-inflammatory have been isolated from hawthorn. Due to adverse effect of PCOS on ovarian vascular remodeling as well as PCOS-induced oxidative stress, we aimed to study the hawthorn’s berri...
