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 ...

A Comparative Study of Serum and Follicular Fluid Leptin Concentrations among Explained Infertile, Unexplained Infertile and Fertile Women

Background The relationship between metabolism and reproduction has been always considered as an important topic in female endocrinology. It seems that leptin is one of the involved factors in infertility. Leptin, in addition to regulating body weight plays an important role in regulation of endocrine, reproductive and immune systems. The aim of this stduy is to compare serum and follicular flu...

P-80: Interleukin 6, Interleukin 1? , Estradiol and Testosterone Concentrations in Serum and Follicular Fluid of Females with Stimulated and Non-Stimulated Ovaries

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 ...

Fatty Acid Composition of Human Follicular Fluid Phospholipids and Fertilization Rate in Assisted Reproductive Techniques

Background: Fatty acids are known to be critically important in multiple biological functions. Phospholipid fatty acids of follicular fluid, an important microenvironment for the development of oocytes, may contribute to the women’s fertility and the efficacy of assisted reproduction techniques. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fatty acid composition of follicular fluid ph...
