Tumors and the ovarian corpus luteum have complex mechanisms in the growth microenvironment. Angiogenesis is especially important for demonstrating the molecular mechanism of dynamic cellular function in tumors and corpus luteum. Angiogenesis in tumors and corpus luteum seems to have a similar function, and Ral-interacting protein 76 (RLIP76) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are expressed in the tissues of tumors and ovarian corpus luteum. RLIP76 is a potential factor with VEGF in the tumor and corpus luteum angiogenesis. RLIP76 regulates a small GTPase (R-Ras) in cell survival, spreading, and migration. VEGF activates angiogenic functions in tumor and endothelial cells. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is important in tumor growth, tumor angiogenesis, and corpus luteum. VEGF and HIF-1 regulate the angiogenic function of RLIP76, and RLIP76 controls vascular growth in endothelial and tumor cells. RLIP76, R-Ras, VEGF, and HIF-1 may be useful in the research of corpus luteum and cancer therapy and the study of mechanisms of tumor and corpus luteum angiogenesis. This review will help to elucidate the roles of RLIP76 and VEGF in tumor and corpus luteum angiogenesis, tumorigenesis, and the specific regulation of RLIP76 and VEGF. Thus, we reviewed the potential role of RLIP76 and VEGF in the angiogenesis of the tumor and corpus luteum in the tumor and ovarian microenvironment.

The objectives of this study were: (i) to evaluate the associations between postpartum health disorders, relative increase in walking activity (RIWA) and expression of behavioral estrus intensity captured by pedometers; (ii) to assess associations between RIWA and pregnancy in cows submitted to timed artificial insemination (TAI). Lactating dairy cows (n = 881) were enrolled in the study. Cows were submitted to a 5d TAI protocol with insertion of a progesterone device.

Implementing accelerometer technologies in beef operations is an alternative to increase precision in estrous detection. We hypothesized that (1) the accelerometer algorithm has similar accuracy in detecting behavioral estrus as does visual observation of pressure-sensitive sensors (estrus patches) in grazing beef cows; (2) variables measured by the accelerometer, such as estrus intensity, are associated with hormonal, ovarian, and uterine variables monitored before, during, and after estrus; and (3) the accelerometer variables are associated with the probability of pregnancy in grazing beef cows submitted to embryo transfer (ET). Fifty cows were fitted with accelerometer and patches to detect estrus after a synchronization protocol in eight subsequent rounds.

Von Willebrand's disease (vWD) is an inherited coagulopathy. In women, this condition can present as periovulatory intra-abdominal bleeding or bleeding from the corpus luteum. A diagnosed case of vWD presented as an emergency with nausea, acute abdominal pain and dizziness.

Follicular growth, ovulation, and pregnancy responses to PGF-indued luteolysis and spontaneous return to estrus in Standardbred mares with large diestrous follicles.

The objective of this study was to compare the fertility of diestrous mares with a follicle ≥ 30 mm in diameter treated with prostaglandin F2α (PGF) (PGF group) or left untreated for 7 days (SP group). Standardbred mares (n = 46) were assigned randomly to the SP (n = 23) and PGF groups (n = 23) when they were identified with a corpus luteum (CL) of unknown age and a follicle ≥ 30 mm in diameter (Day 0). The most frequent outcome in the PGF group was estrus and ovulation of the dominant follicle (74 %), while the outcomes of the SP mares 7 days after Day 0 were more variable: estrus and follicle regression (30 %), diestrous ovulation (22 %) and diestrus along with follicle regression (26 %) of the dominant follicles.

The Influence of Ovarian-Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Reproduction.

In this chapter, we explore the multifaceted roles of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in ovarian biology, focusing on their contributions to folliculogenesis, oocyte competence, corpus luteum function, and immune response regulation. EVs, particularly those derived from follicular fluid (ffEVs), are crucial mediators of cell-to-cell communication within the ovarian follicle, influencing processes such as meiotic progression, stress response, and hormonal regulation. We review preexisting literature, highlighting key findings on the molecular cargo of EVs, such as miRNAs and proteins, and their involvement in regulating the function of the follicle cells.
