Dorsal hippocampal lesions in adult female rats leads to alteration in the estrus cycle with preponderance of estrus phase. The activity of the animals after the lesion increases, but it remains coupled with post lesion estrus cycle.

Background: Acute-phase proteins (APPs) may be increased due to different stresses during estrus phase in farm animals. Aims: Determining changes of APPs at different phases of non-synchronized estrous cycle group (NSEG), and Ovsynch-synchronized estrous cycle group (SEG) in Holstein cows. Methods: Twelve non-pregnant clinically and paraclinicaly healthy Holstein cows with a body condition scor...

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...

To investigate uterine fluid and serum calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg) variations during the estrus cycle in water buffaloes, 71 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from the abattoir in Urmia. The phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examining ovarian structures. 18 animals were pro-estrous, 15 estrous, 16 met-estrous and 22 diestrous. The uterine fluid was collected by gent...

Introduction: RFamide-related peptide (RFRP) is believed to act as an inhibitor of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. The aim of the present study was to compare the expression pattern of RFRP neurons in the dorsomedial nucleus of hypothalamus (DMH) at different phases of the rat estrous cycle. Methods: The phases of the estrous cycle were determined in 16 adult female Sprague-...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we examined changes in serum leptin levels during the estrus cycle and the role of estrogen in these changes. METHODS We measured serum leptin levels during normal estrus cycles in intact rats and estradiol-17beta (E2)-induced artificial estrus cycles in ovariectomized rats. RESULTS Serum leptin levels increased 1.6-fold from 4.2 +/- 0.2 ng/ml during diestrus stage ...

to investigate uterine fluid and serum copper (cu) and zinc (zn) variations during the estrous cycle in water buffaloes, 71 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from the abattoir in urmia, iran. the phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examining ovarian structures; 18, 15, 16 and 22 were pro-estrous, estrous, met-estrous and diestrous, respectively. the uterine fluid was coll...
