Article Synopsis
- Granulosa cells (GCs) are crucial for follicular development, and while FSH promotes their proliferation, existing superovulation techniques in animal husbandry face challenges such as costs and hormonal issues.
- This study investigates the potential of sulforaphane (SFN) to enhance GCs proliferation and the mechanisms behind its effects.
- Findings indicate that SFN functions similarly to FSH by activating the NRF2-TKT pathway, which increases ribose 5-phosphate production, contributing to the necessary nucleotide pool for GCs proliferation.
Introduction: Cryopreservation of semen can give full play to the reproductive advantages of male animals. However, in actual production, due to the poor frost resistance of sheep semen and the low conception rate, the promotion of sheep frozen semen is greatly hindered. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the frost resistance of semen to improve the quality of frozen semen.
