Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) has emerged as a key reproductive marker for predicting the number of embryos produced in vivo and oocytes retrieved through transvaginal pickup. This study investigated the relationship between AMH, inflammatory markers, including serum amyloid A (SAA) and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio, and the number of embryos recovered and transferable after superovulation in JB cows. A total of 96 JB donor cows underwent artificial insemination after superovulation, and embryo retrieval was performed 7 days later. Embryos retrieved were classified based on the International Embryo Technology Society criteria, wherein \"transferable embryos\" included those with codes 1 or 2, while \"total embryos\" included transferable embryos as well as those with codes 3 and 4. Blood samples collected during embryo recovery were used to measure serum AMH, SAA, and A/G ratios. When grouped by AMH quartiles, the high-AMH and middle-high-AMH groups produced significantly more total embryos compared to the low-AMH group. The total number of embryos increased with higher AMH levels (r = 0.3336, P = 0.0009). Correlation analysis revealed associations between AMH, α<sub>1</sub>-globulin and SAA.

In lactating rats, ARC Kiss1 expression is repressed by low E2 during late lactation. This study aimed to investigate whether nuclear receptor corepressor 2 (NCOR2, encoded by Ncor2), an estrogen receptor α corepressor, is involved in the estrogen-induced repression of ARC Kiss1 expression in rats. Double in situ hybridization for Kiss1 and Ncor2 revealed that approximately 80% of ARC Kiss1-expressing cells co-expressed Ncor2 in ovariectomized (OVX) + low E2 virgin rats, while approximately 90% of ARC Kiss1-expressing cells co-expressed Ncor2 in OVX + low E2 lactating rats. To further examine the role of Ncor2, we studied the effects of Kiss1-dependent Ncor2 knockdown on ARC Kiss1 expression and luteinizing hormone (LH) pulses. An adeno-associated virus vector carrying Cre-activated short hairpin RNA (shRNA) for Ncor2 was administered to the ARC in two Kiss1-Cre rat models: OVX + high E2 Kiss1-Cre virgin rats and OVX + low E2 Kiss1-Cre lactating rats. Ncor2-shRNA treatment significantly increased the number of ARC Kiss1-expressing cells and the intensity of Kiss1 signals in OVX + high E2 virgin rats but failed to fully restore low E2-induced Kiss1 repression in lactating rats.

The number of transferable embryos recovered from donors with high AMH levels was significantly higher than that recovered from donors with low AMH levels. Additionally, it increased further with a reduction in the FSH dose. These results illustrate that the AMH concentration is a useful marker for predicting embryo production after superovulation, and donors with high AMH levels produce more transferable embryos at low FSH doses than at high doses.</p>","PeriodicalId":16942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reproduction and Development","volume":" ","pages":"418-422"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11658917/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142622345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
