Silent oestrus is an unsurmountable problem in the management of buffalo reproduction. In addressing this issue, we have earlier reported variation in the levels of urinary luteinizing hormone (LH) through the different phases of oestrous cycle with an extended window during the mid-oestrous phase. Based on this report, the present study is designed to assess the salivary LH levels in buffalo during the different phases of oestrous cycle. Bovine LH ELISA kit was used to determine the level of salivary LH. We observed a notable variation in salivary LH levels during the different phases of oestrous cycle. The maximum LH level, 39.07 mIU/ml, observed during oestrus, which was significantly (p < .05) higher than other consecutive phases. Altogether, the results showed a significant (p < .05) fold variation during oestrus compared with other phases. Therefore, the study convincingly shows that salivary LH has the potential of application in development of a modality for non-invasive oestrous detection in buffalo.

Role of resistin in the porcine uterus: effects on endometrial steroidogenesis.

Context The adipose tissue produces adipokines - hormones essential to many biological functions, including reproduction. Aims We hypothesised that resistin, one of the adipokines, is present in the blood plasma, uterine luminal flushings (ULF) and uterus of pigs during the oestrous cycle and early pregnancy, and that resistin influences uterine steroidogenesis. Methods This study aimed to determine the expression of resistin in the porcine endometrium and myometrium during the cycle and pregnancy by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot (WB).

Coypu (Myocastor coypus bonaeriensis) Ovarian Morphology During the Oestrous Cycle.

Anat Histol Embryol

January 2025

Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Cátedra de Histología y Embriología, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The coypu (Myocastor coypus bonariensis) is an annual polyestrous hystricomorph rodent with variable-length oestrous cycles, which ovarian histoarchitecture during this period is not fully described. This study analyses variations in ovarian morphology during the oestrous cycle, focusing on follicular development and atresia. Eighteen sexually mature virgin females aged 7-9 months, weighing 4.

Article Synopsis
  • The oestrous cycle significantly affects breast cancer's response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), with treatment during the dioestrus stage resulting in less effectiveness compared to the oestrus stage.
  • In mouse models and human premenopausal cohorts, dioestrus is associated with increased chemoresistance, characterized by more cells undergoing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, narrower tumor blood vessels, and higher macrophage levels.
  • Understanding the impact of the oestrous cycle on treatment response could lead to improved timing for chemotherapy, enhancing patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Increased collagen synthesis in the equine endometrium is linked to endometrosis, with Toll-like receptors (TLRs) playing a key role in inflammation and fibrosis.
  • This study examined TLR and collagen gene expression in endometrial tissue from mares at different stages of Kenney and Doig's grading during the follicular phase of the oestrous cycle.
  • Results indicated that TLR-2 and TLR-4 expression was higher in certain endometrial categories, suggesting their potential involvement in initiating inflammatory responses, warranting further research into their role as diagnostic markers in equine reproductive health.
