Several studies using transrectal ovarian ultrasonic scanning in Bos taurus (B. taurus) cattle
and more recently in Bos indicus (B. Indicus) females evaluated the reproductive cycles of …

Reproductive efficiency is not optimal in high-producing dairy cows. Although many aspects
of ovarian follicular growth in cows are similar to those observed in heifers, there are …

In the current review the main fundamental biological differences in reproductive function
between Bos taurus and Bos indicus cattle are discussed. Breed differences regarding …

This study evaluated the influence of GnRH analogs (gonadorelin vs. buserelin) and doses
(single vs. double) on LH release and ovulatory response in Bos indicus (Nelore) females …

At approximately 8.5 mm in diameter, the future dominant follicle is “selected” for continued
growth in cattle. In the present study, cows were treated with a gonadotropin-releasing …

Background The objective of this study was to build the transcriptomic profile of granulosa
cells originating from follicles 6 to 9 mm in diameter in dairy cattle using microarrays …

Cystic ovarian disease (COD) is one of the main causes of reproductive failure in cattle and
causes severe economic loss to the dairy farm industry because it increases both days open …

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the LH receptor (LHR) expression patterns in human granulosa
cells (GCs) from antral to preovulatory stages, and to investigate a correlation to oocyte …

Selection of a single dominant follicle from a cohort of growing follicles is a unique biological
process, a key step in female reproductive function in monovular species, and lies at the …

The review presents an overview of studies that examined the effects of follicular aging and
maternal aging in the bovine model. The first of three main sections is a discussion of the …
