BIO-CHEMICAL MILIEU OF BUFFALOES OVARIAN FOLLICLES DURING THEIR DEVELOPMENT
Keywords:
Buffalo, Ovarian follicular fluid, Biochemical milieuAbstract
Biochemical constituents of ovarian follicular fluid were studied in relation to size of follicle in buffaloes. In the
present study, ovaries were collected immediately after slaughter and the follicular fluid was aspirated and stored
at-20°C. Sampling was done and were analysed for various biochemical constituents. Small follicle had significantly
lower (P<0.05) concentrations of glucose, cholesterol, oestradiol, progesterone and sodium, while as the
concentration of alkaline and acid phosphatase and potassium was significantly (P<0.05) higher.
