Maturation competence of swamp buffalo oocytes obtained by ovum pick-up and from slaughterhouse ovaries

This study was designed with the final goal of improving in vitro embryo production in the Thai swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis carabensis). Oocytes were collected by ovum pick-up (OPU) from six non-lactating multiparous swamp buffalo twice per week for 10 consecutive sessions followed by once-weekly collection for 10 consecutive sessions without hormone stimulation. In addition, oocytes were collected from slaughterhouse ovaries that were classified as follows: ovaries from non-pregnant cows with a visible corpus luteum (NPCL); pregnant cows with a corpus luteum (P); and non-pregnant cows without a corpus luteum (NP). Follicles in each group of ovaries were categorized as small (2-4 mm), medium-sized (5-8 mm) or large follicles (≥ 9 mm). The quality of the oocytes was assessed by their capacity to undergo in vitro maturation. The total number of observed follicles per session (all sizes combined) was larger in the once-weekly OPU group compared with the twice-weekly OPU group. In particular, the numbers of small and large follicles were higher in the once-weekly OPU group (5.2 ± 0.7 and 0.9 ± 0.2, respectively) than in the twice-weekly OPU group (3.9 ± 0.5 and 0.5 ± 0.1). The number of medium-sized follicles did not differ between the groups. The percentages of oocytes with an abnormal spindle morphology were not different between oocytes from the twice-weekly (30.0%) and the once-weekly (28.6%) OPU groups. A higher percentage of oocytes obtained in vitro (49.5%) exhibited nuclear abnormalities compared with those obtained in vivo (≤34.8%) after in vitro maturation. In conclusion, oocytes can be successfully collected by OPU in the swamp buffalo, without hormonal pretreatment, and per week more good-quality oocytes can be collected by twice-weekly OPU. In addition, oocytes collected from slaughterhouse ovaries can be used with the reproductive status of the cow having no influence on the maturation competence of oocytes.

Biometric parameters of ovaries in the Tsigai strain of sheep and their changes after administration of cloprostenol

The weight, length, width and volume of ovaries were determined as well as the number of follicles visible on the surface in relation to the presence of corpus luteum on the ovary in autumn period after Cloprostenol application. The ovaries of 43 sheep of the Tsigai breed were examined at the age of 2--4 years. The animals were divided into five groups. First group (I) was the control (n = 6). In the luteal phase of sexual cycle the animals of groups II to V were applied i. m. 125 micrograms of cloprostenol in Oestrophan inf. Spofa preparation. According to groups II (n = 8), III (n = 10), IV (n = 9), V (n = 10) the animals were killed at intervals of 24, 48, 72 and 120 hours (h) from the preparation application. The removed ovaries were fixed in 10% neutral formalin; after a 48-hour fixation they were weighed and their length and width were measured. Tertiary follicles visible on the surface were counted and measured. In group I we demonstrated the significantly higher weight of ovaries with corpus luteum (CL) as compared with ovaries without CL (P less than 0.001). The weight of ovaries with CL dropped significantly within 48 hours after cloprostenol application as compared with control (P less than 0.001) and the difference in the ovary weight according to CL incidence disappeared almost completely. In comparison with groups III and IV, the weight of ovaries in ewes of group V increased statistically significantly (P less than 0.01) on 5th day from the cloprostenol application. This finding is a result of development of new CL after a passed ovulation. The alterations in length, width and volume of ovaries were not so significant as those in weight. The number of surface follicles was very variable and the changes were not significant. The changes in the average size of follicles larger than 1 mm and of the largest follicles have shown that both parameters achieved significantly higher values in ovaries of the control group with present CL in comparison with ovaries without CL. The reduction of surface follicles after cloprostenol application seems to be connected with a possible operation on contractile structures of the external theca folliculi.

Effect of ovarian follicles on luteal regression in heifers

Our objectives were to determine whether or not ovarian follicles contribute to spontaneous luteal regression in heifers and, if so, when during diestrus do follicles exert their effect. Thirty-one Holstein heifers having displayed at least one estrous cycle (19 to 21 d) were assigned, as available, to randomized blocks for a factorial experiment. Reproductive organs were exposed through a midventral incision on d 9, 12 or 15 postestrus (estrus = d 0). Visible follicles were electrocauterized and both ovaries were x-irradiated (1,500 rads) in treated heifers, whereas ovaries of controls were exteriorized but follicles were not destroyed and ovaries were not x-irradiated. In two additional heifers, the ovary containing the corpus luteum was exteriorized and x-irradiated on d 15 postestrus, but follicles were not electrocauterized. Jugular blood was collected before and every 8 h after surgery until d 24 postestrus. All heifers were ovariectomized on d 24 postestrus to inventory follicles and to weigh corpora lutea. No follicles (greater than or equal to 1 mm diameter) were observed in ovaries from treated animals and concentrations of estradiol-17 beta did not change over time, whereas different numbers of follicles were observed in ovaries from controls and concentrations of estradiol-17 beta increased (P less than .05) during proestrus. Hence, treatment destroyed follicles and prevented follicular development. On d 24 postestrus, corpora lutea from treated heifers (5.5 +/- .5 g) were heavier (P less than .001) than corpora lutea from controls (1.1 +/- .1 g), independent of day when follicles were destroyed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

促卵泡素受体和促黄体素受体在乏情期和怀孕期牦牛卵巢中的表达

应用免疫组织化学技术和图象分析方法对乏情期、怀孕期牦牛卵巢的促卵泡素受体(FSHR)、促黄体素受体(LHR)的表达特点进行了研究。结果表明,牦牛卵巢的皮质、髓质、颗粒层和膜内层、黄体中都分布有FSHR和LHR。且牦牛卵巢皮质、髓质中的FSHR光密度值在乏情期显著大于怀孕期(P0.05);怀孕期无黄体侧卵巢颗粒层和膜内层中FSHR光密度值均大于乏情期和怀孕期有黄体侧(P0.05)。怀孕期有黄体侧卵巢皮质处LHR光密度值最大,乏情期次之,怀孕期无黄体侧最小,各组间差异显著(P0.05);在怀孕期无黄体侧卵巢髓质处LHR光密度值显著小于怀孕期有黄体侧和乏情期(P0.05);在乏情期、怀孕期无黄体侧和怀孕期有黄体卵巢颗粒层和膜内层处LHR光密度值之间差异均不显著(P0.05)。表明牦牛卵巢中FSHR和LHR随着生殖阶段的不同而变化。     

Prenatal and neonatal exposure to the antiandrogen flutamide alters connexin 43 gene expression in adult porcine ovary

Connexin 43 (Cx43) is the predominant gap junction protein within porcine ovary and is required for proper follicle and corpus luteum (CL) development. Recent research suggests maternally or neonatally mediated effects of antiandrogens on reproductive function during adulthood, notably those dependent on gap junctional communication. The current study was conducted to determine whether late gestational or neonatal exposure to the antiandrogen flutamide influences Cx43 gene expression in the adult porcine ovary. Flutamide was injected into pregnant gilts between days 80 and 88 of gestation and into female piglets between days 2 and 10 posnatally. After animals reached sexual maturity, the ovaries were collected from treated and nontreated (control) pigs. Expression of Cx43 mRNA and protein was determined for preantral and antral follicles and for CLs. In addition, 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) expression and progesterone concentration were determined for luteal tissues. In preantral follicles, Cx43 mRNA was down-regulated (P < 0.01) following maternal and neonatal flutamide exposure. In large antral follicles, Cx43 mRNA was up-regulated (P < 0.01) after neonatal flutamide administration. Immunofluorescence showed that Cx43 expression decreased (P < 0.001) in preantral follicles and increased (P < 0.001) in large antral follicles following flutamide exposure. In luteal tissues, Cx43 and 3β-HSD expression and progesterone concentration decreased (P < 0.01) after postnatal flutamide treatment. Overall, these results suggest the involvement of androgens in the regulation of Cx43 expression in pig ovary. Moreover, alteration of Cx43 expression by the administration of flutamide during particular prenatal and neonatal time periods may affect porcine follicle development, as well as CL formation and function.     

Relationship of ovarian contents to plasma progesterone concentration in the swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

Using rectal palpation and laparoscopy, the relationship of ovarian contents to plasma progesterone concentration during the oestrous cycle, early pregnancy and post partum periods in the swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) was studied. During the oestrous cycle, four stages in the lifespan of the corpus luteum were seen laparoscopically. The mean (+/- sd) concentrations of progesterone in plasma in cows with and without a corpus luteum on their ovaries were 1.49 +/- 0.78 ng/ml (n = 31) and 0.14 +/- 0.09 ng/ml (n = 14), respectively. Plasma progesterone levels reflected age-dependent changes occurring in the cyclic corpus luteum. The accuracy of diagnosing ovarian contents was 82 and 91 per cent for rectal palpation and plasma progesterone levels respectively. Approximately 29 per cent follicles (larger than 10 mm) were incorrectly diagnosed as corpora lutea by rectal palpation.
