Substitution at positions 6 and 10 can result in super-active peptides. Therefore, several LHRH analogues substituted at position 6, 10, or both are much more active than LHRH and have prolonged activity [5]. Of these analogues, the most important are [D-Trp 6 ]LHRH (triptorelin), [D-Leu 6 ,Pro 9 NHET]LHRH (leuprolide), [D-Ser(Bu t ) 6 ,Pro 9 NHET]LHRH (buserelin), and [D-Ser(Bu t ) 6 ,AzaGly 1...

The effectiveness of infrared thermography (IRT) in the diagnosis pseudopregnant rabbits, change these images pseudopregnancy process, and its relationship with serum progesterone (P4) level was investigated. Fourteen healthy female rabbits New Zealand breed were divided into two study groups. Pseudopregnancy induction performed first group GnRH injection (0.2 ml Buserelin acetate, intramuscula...

Ovulation in camelids is induced by an unidentified protein in the seminal plasma of the male termed 'ovulation-inducing factor'. This protein has been reported to be a 14-kDa protein under reducing conditions, which, when purified from seminal plasma, induces ovulation in llamas. The identification of this protein and investigation of its potential to induce ovulation in camelids may aid the d...

A simple and rapid stability indicating method based on capillary zone electrophoresis has been developed and validated for the analysis of buserelin (BUS). The best separations were achieved by using a bare fused silica capillary (75 μm i.d.; 65.5 cm total, 57.0 cm effective length), phosphate buffer (pH = 3.00; 26.4 mM), at 35 °C. The sample was hydrodynamically injected at 50 mbar for 5 seco...

BACKGROUND Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) are involved in the reproductive cycle and regulate the secretion of sex steroids from the gonads. In mammals, GnRH1 is secreted as a hormone from the hypothalamus, whereas both GnRH1 and GnRH2 are present as neuropeptides in a variety of tissues. This review describes the role of ...

The objective of the present study was to compare the impact of ovsynch and progesterone-based ovulation synchronization protocol on ovarian response and conception in buffalo (n=19) exhibiting subestrus during low-breeding season (maximum ambient temperatures and relative humidity ranging from 36-45°C and 30-80%, respectively). Group I buffalo (n=10) were administered ovsynch protocol (d 0 and...
