The aim of this work was to assess the antioxidant status and the developmental competence of oocytes recovered by ovum pick-up (OPU) in Italian Mediterranean buffaloes supplemented with green tea extracts (GTE) for 90 days. Buffalo cows (n = 16) were randomly assigned to a control group receiving no supplement and a treatment group, receiving GTE starting 90 days before OPU, carried out for five consecutive sessions. Blood samples were collected before the start of supplementation with GTE (T0) and at day 45 (T1) and day 90 (T2) of supplementation, to measure ferric reducing activity (FRAP), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT).

- Work plays a crucial role in providing financial stability and contributing to our mental health, but when someone is unable to return to work (RTW), it can negatively affect their well-being.
- Shoulder surgery, particularly arthroscopic Bankart repair, can limit a patient’s ability to work, yet there’s limited data on how it impacts their return-to-work timeline.
- This study examined 31 patients who had the procedure and found that, on average, they could return to work within 7 weeks, with office workers returning even quicker, in about 2.5 weeks.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how seasonal changes impact the metabolomic profile of ovarian follicles in Italian Mediterranean buffalo, particularly during the non-breeding season (NBS) when oocyte competence is lower.
- Various components like follicular fluid, cells, and oocytes were analyzed using 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, revealing distinct seasonal differences in metabolite content.
- The findings highlighted key metabolites linked to reduced oocyte competence, suggesting potential markers for improving oocyte quality during the NBS and informing strategies to enhance the in-vitro maturation (IVM) environment.
In buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) reproductive seasonality, causing cycles of milk production, is one of the major factors affecting farming profitability. Follicular fluid (FF) contains extracellular vesicles (EVs) playing an important role in modulating oocyte developmental competence and carrying microRNAs (miRNAs) essential for in vitro fertilization outcomes. The aim of this work was to characterize the FF-EVs-miRNA cargo of antral (An) and preovulatory (pO) follicles collected in the breeding (BS) and non-breeding (NBS) seasons, to unravel the molecular causes of the reduced oocyte competence recorded in buffalo during the NBS.

The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate whether season influences the lipid content within the ovarian follicle in the Italian Mediterranean buffalo. Abattoir-derived ovaries were collected during the breeding season (BS) and the NBS, and different matrices (follicular fluid, oocytes, cumulus and follicular cells) were recovered.
