Abstract
Female fertility largely depends on ovarian function. Follicles serve as the basic unit of the ovary and provide the metabolic microenvironment for oocyte development. The metabolism of follicular fluid changes dynamically with follicular development and is affected by maternal metabolism, age, and breeding season. This paper aims to summarize the metabolic characteristics of follicular fluid in growing cohort follicles, ovulatory follicles, and cystic follicles and discuss changes in follicular fluid metabolism associated with maternal metabolic stress, maternal age, and breeding season. Results provide a systematic and clear understanding of the metabolic characteristics of bovine follicular development.
期刊介绍:
Animal Reproduction Science publishes results from studies relating to reproduction and fertility in animals. This includes both fundamental research and applied studies, including management practices that increase our understanding of the biology and manipulation of reproduction. Manuscripts should go into depth in the mechanisms involved in the research reported, rather than a give a mere description of findings. The focus is on animals that are useful to humans including food- and fibre-producing; companion/recreational; captive; and endangered species including zoo animals, but excluding laboratory animals unless the results of the study provide new information that impacts the basic understanding of the biology or manipulation of reproduction.
The journal''s scope includes the study of reproductive physiology and endocrinology, reproductive cycles, natural and artificial control of reproduction, preservation and use of gametes and embryos, pregnancy and parturition, infertility and sterility, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
The Editorial Board of Animal Reproduction Science has decided not to publish papers in which there is an exclusive examination of the in vitro development of oocytes and embryos; however, there will be consideration of papers that include in vitro studies where the source of the oocytes and/or development of the embryos beyond the blastocyst stage is part of the experimental design.
