Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on isolating and characterizing oviduct fluid extracellular vesicles (coEV) in goats, which are important for events around conception, as they have been previously identified in other mammals but not in caprine species.
  • - Two experiments were conducted: one to isolate coEV from individual goats or a pool of three, and the other to analyze coEV during different phases of the estrous cycle (follicular vs. luteal).
  • - Findings showed that while the size distribution of coEV was similar regardless of isolation method, those collected during the luteal phase were larger, and the presence of specific proteins indicated they were exosomes with distinct characteristics.
