Seasonally, bred wild mice provide a unique bioresource, with high genetic diversity that differs from wild‐derived mice and laboratory mice. This study aimed to establish an alternative superovulation method using wild large Japanese field mice (Apodemus speciosus) as the model species. Specifically, we investigated how the application of inhibin antiserum and equine chorionic gonadotropin (IASe) during both the reproductive and non‐reproductive seasons impact the ovulation rate and competence of embryo development after in vitro fertilization (IVF) with fresh and cryopreserved sperm. When the wild mice were superovulated by injecting eCG followed by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), few oocytes were collected during the reproductive and non‐reproductive seasons. In comparison, the number of ovulated oocytes was dramatically enhanced by the administration of IASe, followed by isolation of ovulated oocytes 24 hr after 30 IU hCG administration. The IVF oocytes that were in vitro cultured (IVC) with medium containing serum further developed to the 2‐ and/or 4‐cell stage using both fresh and frozen‐thawed sperm. In conclusion, we successfully established an alternative protocol for collecting ovulated oocytes from wild large Japanese field mice by administering IASe and hCG during both the reproductive and non‐reproductive seasons. This study is the first to develop IVF–IVC wild large Japanese field mice beyond the 2‐ and/or 4‐cell stage in vitro using fresh and cryopreserved sperm. This approach could be used in other species of wild or endangered mice to reduce the number of animals used for experiments, or in maintaining stocks of germ cells or embryos. 相似文献

We reported previously that passive immunization against inhibin enhances follicular growth and increases the ovulation rate. However, the ovulation rate was not comparable to the number of follicles. Therefore, the aim of this study was to attempt to increase the ovulation rate by increasing the interval between inhibin immunization and PGF2alpha injection. Five miniature Shiba goats were treated with 10 ml inhibin antiserum (inhibin-AS) developed against [Tyro30]-inhibin alpha (1-30). A control group (n=5) was treated with normal goat serum. All animals were injected intramuscularly with 125 microg PGF2alpha 72 h after treatment to induce estrus and ovulation. Blood samples were collected for hormonal assay and the ovulation rate was determined by laparotomy. In contrast to the control group, there was a significant increase in plasma concentrations of FSH in the immunized group. After luteolysis, plasma concentrations of estradiol-17beta increased markedly to a preovulatory peak about 2 folds higher (P<0.01) than that of controls. In addition, the ovulation rate was greater in the immunized group (14.4 +/- 2.2) than in the control group (2.2 +/- 0.6), and the mean number of follicles > or = 4 mm in diameter was 10.0 +/- 0.8 in the inhibin-AS group compared with 2.4 +/- 0.3 in control group. The present results demonstrate that immunoneutralization of endogenous inhibin increased FSH secretions in miniature shiba goats. The increased FSH secretion enhanced follicular growth and increased the ovulation rate. Additionally, increasing the interval between inhibin-AS and PGF2alpha injections (to 72 h) resulted in a greater ovulation rate compared with the previous protocol (48 h). Therefore, inhibin-AS treatment proved to be an effective alternative to exogenous gonadotropin methods for induction of superovulation in goats. 相似文献

As dogs experience oestrus only once or twice a year, it is necessary to establish an effective method of oestrous induction for efficient breeding. In the present study, we evaluated inhibin antiserum (IAS) on oestrous induction in anoestrous females. Bitches were administered 0.5 ml/kg IAS or a mixture of 50 IU/kg equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and 0.5 ml/kg IAS and 500 IU human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administered 7 days after the mixture injection. As a control, bitches received 50 IU/kg eCG, with 500 IU hCG administered 7 days after eCG injection. Blood-tinged vaginal discharge, vulvar swelling, plasma progesterone concentrations and ovarian follicular development were assessed from day 0 to day 14. IAS alone injection did not induce oestrus in bitches at the anoestrous stage. Conversely, vulvar swelling, blood-tinged vaginal discharge and an estimated luteinizing hormone (LH) surge appeared on days 3–7, days 3–6 and days 7–9 after the IAS+eCG mixture injection, respectively, in all five bitches at the anoestrous stage. The average number of developing and ovulated follicles in bitches administered IAS+eCG was 8.8 and 9.6 respectively. A single eCG injection followed by hCG induced oestrous signs, with an average of 8.3 developing follicles and 4.5 ovulated follicles. This study revealed that IAS alone did not induce oestrus, but when IAS was used in combination with eCG, it induced oestrus and promoted a considerable number of ovulations in anoestrous dogs. 相似文献

Gilt oestrus and ovulation responses to injection of a combination of equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) (PG600) can be unpredictable, possibly reflecting inadequate circulating LH activity. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of PG600 followed by supplemental hCG on gilt ovarian responses. In experiment 1, 212 Hypor gilts (160 day of age) housed on two farms in Spain received intramuscular (i.m.) injections of PG600 (n = 47), or PG600 with an additional 200 IU hCG injected either concurrently (hCG‐0; n = 39), or at 24 h (hCG‐24; n = 41) or 48 h (hCG‐48; n = 45) after PG600. A further 40 gilts served as non‐injected controls. Ovulation responses were determined on the basis of initial blood progesterone concentrations being <1 ng/ml and achieving >5 ng / ml 10 d after the PG600 injection. The incidence of ovulating gilts having progesterone concentrations >30 ng/ml were recorded. During the study period, 10% of control gilts ovulated whereas 85–100% of hormone‐treated gilts ovulated. There were no significant differences among hormone groups for proportions of gilts ovulating. The proportions of gilts having circulating progesterone concentrations >30 ng/ml were increased (p ≤ 0.02) in all hCG treated groups compared with the PG600 group. In experiment 2, a total of 76 Hypor gilts at either 150 or 200 days of age were injected with PG600 (n = 18), 400 IU eCG followed by 200 IU hCG 24 h later (n = 20), PG600 followed by 100 IU hCG 24 h later (n = 17), or 400 IU eCG followed by 300 IU hCG 24 h later (n = 21). Blood samples were obtained 10 days later for progesterone assay. There were no effects of treatment or age on incidence of ovulation, but fewer 150‐day‐old gilts treated with PG600 or 400 IU eCG followed by 200 IU hCG had progesterone concentrations >30 ng / ml. We conclude that hCG treatment subsequent to PG600 treatment will generate a higher circulating progesterone concentration, although the effect is not evident in older, presumably peripubertal, gilts. The mechanism involved and implications for fertility remain to be determined. 相似文献

Advanced reproductive technologies are being applied for the propagation of squirrel monkeys, to ensure their preservation as a genetic resource and the effective use of their gametes in the future. In the present study, oocytes and spermatozoa were collected from live squirrel monkeys, following which piezo intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was performed using these gametes. Follicular development was induced by administering equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) containing inhibin antiserum to an immature squirrel monkey female. The unilateral ovary was excised after the administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), to induce ovulation, following which the larger developed follicular oocytes were collected. Follicular oocytes were prepared for ICSI using sperm from the epididymal tail of a unilateral testis extracted from a mature male. The embryos were continuously incubated in CMRL 1066 medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum. Embryo culture was performed with cumulus cells. Two experiments of ICSI carried out with three females resulted in 14 mature oocytes from the 49 cumulus-oocyte complexes collected and five embryos, three of which developed into blastocysts. These blastocysts were vitrified, thawed, and transferred to recipient monkeys, but no pregnancies resulted. In conclusion, the present study is the first to successfully produce ICSI-derived blastocysts from MII oocytes obtained by means of hormone administration (a combination of eCG+inhibin antiserum and hCG) and in vitro maturation in immature squirrel monkeys. 相似文献

Effect of human chorionic gonadotropin on preovulatory luteinizing hormone surge and ovarian hormone secretion in gilts 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The influence of varying doses of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on the preovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH) surge, estradiol-17 beta (E2) and progesterone (P4) was studied in synchronized gilts. Altrenogest (AT) was fed (15 mg X head-1 X d-1) to 24 cyclic gilts for 14 d. Pregnant mares serum gonadotropin (PMSG; 750 IU) was given im on the last day of AT feeding. The gilts were then assigned to one of four groups (n = 6): saline (I), 500 IU hCG (II), 1,000 IU hCG (III) and 1,500 IU hCG (IV). Human chorionic gonadotropin or saline was injected im 72 h after PMSG. No differences in ovulation rate or time from last feeding of AT to occurrence of estrus were observed. All gilts in Groups I and II expressed a preovulatory LH surge compared with only four of six and three of six in Groups III and IV, respectively. All groups treated with hCG showed a rapid drop (P less than .01) in plasma levels of E2 11, 17, 23 h after hCG injection when compared with the control group (35 h). The hCG-treated gilts exhibited elevated P4 concentrations 12 h earlier than the control group (3.1 +/- .5, 3.4 +/- .72, 3.1 +/- .10 ng/ml in groups II, III and IV at 60 h post-hCG vs .9 +/- .08 ng/ml in group I; P less than .05). These studies demonstrate that injections of ovulatory doses of hCG (500 to 1,500 IU) had three distinct effects on events concomitant with occurrence of estrus in gilts: decreased secretion of E2 immediately after hCG administration, failure to observe a preovulatory LH surge in some treated animals and earlier production of P4 by newly developed corpora lutea. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of additional human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) on the ovarian response of gilts previously treated with 200 IU hCG combined with 400 IU equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) (eCG/hCG). Seventy-one prepuberal gilts (105 ± 7.5 kg) were assigned to groups: i) eCG/hCG (hCG-0; n = 25); ii) eCG/hCG followed by 100 IU of hCG at 24 h (hCG-100; n = 24); iii) eCG/hCG followed by 200 IU hCG at 24 h (hCG-200; n = 10); and iv) controls (CON; n = 12). Ovulation response was assessed by ovarian dissection or real-time ultrasonography. Additional hCG did not significantly improve numbers of gilts ovulating. Numbers of corpora lutea increased with hCG, and was higher in hCG-200 (P < 0.01). Compared to hCG-0, the frequency of cysts in gilts was higher in hCG-100 (P < 0.05) and further increased in hCG-200 (P < 0.01). The number of cysts per gilt was dose-dependently increased by additional hCG. We conclude that supplemental hCG will increase the number of corpora lutea but will be associated with follicular cyst development in a dose dependent manner. 相似文献

We examined the relationship between the time elapsed after human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration and developmental stage of porcine embryos after collection. Prepubertal gilts, 7 to 8 months old, were given 1500 IU equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) intramuscularly, followed by 500 IU hCG 72 h later. The treated gilts were inseminated artificially on Day 1 (Day 0=the day of hCG administration) and on Day 2. Embryos were collected surgically on Day 6 (140, 144, and 147 h after hCG administration) or on Day 7 (164, 168, and 171 h), and the developmental stages of the collected embryos were examined. From 75.2% (276/367) of the prepubertal gilts treated with hormones, we collected an average of 20.7 embryos per gilt with normal morphology. At 140 h after hCG administration, morulae (54.4%) could be collected. At 144 h, morulae and early blastocysts (57.7% and 28.9%, respectively) were collected. By 147 h, the proportion of embryos at the blastocyst to expanded blastocyst stages had increased (10.0%). From 164 h to 171 h, expanding or expanded blastocysts of more than 200 microm in diameter and hatched blastocysts could be collected. The proportion of hatched blastocysts increased from 3.2% (164 h) to 41.0% (171 h). These results suggests that although the number of ovulations differed among gilts, porcine embryos at the appropriate stages can be collected efficiently by controlling the time elapsed between hCG administration and embryo collection. 相似文献

The endocrine function of the individual components of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-ovarian axis of the postweaning anestrous sow was evaluated by monitoring the sow's response to exogenous estradiol, gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), and gonadotropins. Sows (4 to 6/group) not returning to estrus by 42.8 +/- 3.1 days after weaning were assigned to 1 of the following treatments: 10 micrograms of estradiol benzoate (EB)/kg of body weight; 200 micrograms of GnRH, 1,000 IU of pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG); 1,000 IU of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG); or 4 ml of saline solution plus 2 ml of corn oil. A preovulatory-like surge of luteinizing hormone [(LH) greater than 12 hours in duration] was observed in all weaned sows treated with EB. All EB-treated sows exhibited estrus and ovulated but none conceived. Sows given GnRH had transiently increased (less than 3 hours) LH concentrations that were not associated with estrus or ovulation. Treatment with PMSG caused an increase in peripheral concentrations of 17 beta-estradiol that was followed by an LH surge, estrus, ovulation, and conception. Treatment with HCG caused an increase in circulating concentrations of 17 beta-estradiol that was accompanied by a surge of LH in some sows and ovulation in all sows. Not all sows treated with HCG exhibited estrous behavior, but conception occurred in 2 of 3 sows that were mated at estrus. None of the sows treated with saline plus corn oil had consistent changes in circulatory concentrations of 17 beta-estradiol or LH and none exhibited estrus or ovulated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The incidence of anestrous mink during the normal breeding season has been reported to be as high as 5%. We sought to induce estrus in these mink by using various doses of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Seventy-five female mink maintained under standard ranch conditions failed to demonstrate estrus during the annual breeding season in March. These anestrous mink were randomly assigned to treatment groups. Treatments were given on March 16 and again on March 18. On these 2 d, mink were treated with equal doses of saline, 25, 50, or 100 IU of eCG, or 50 IU of eCG on March 16 and 50 of IU of eCG + 100 IU of hCG on March 18. Females were paired with males beginning on March 22. None of the saline-treated mink mated. In contrast, reproductive performance of the anestrous mink was significantly improved by treatment with eCG. This included proportion of mink breeding (47 to 100%), proportion giving birth (33 to 80%), and average litter size (2.6 to 4.0 kits per whelping female). Reproductive efficiency improved with increasing doses of eCG and was not further improved by addition of hCG. These results demonstrate that eCG has a potential application for treating anestrous mink during the breeding season. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible relationship of pharmacological induction of estrous and/or ovulation with the occurrence of twin pregnancies in Thoroughbred mares. Out of 680 mares, 356 received one of the following treatments during the estrous cycle in which they became pregnant: injection of 0.5mg of cloprostenol at the ultrasonographic detection of a CL (n=86); injection of 5000 IU human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) immediately before mating (n=221); injection of 0.5mg of cloprostenol at the ultrasonographic detection of a CL plus injection of 5000 IU hCG immediately before mating on cloprostenol-induced estrous (n=49). The other 324 mares, not treated for induction of estrous or ovulation in the estrous cycle resulting in pregnancy, were used as control group. The occurrence of twin and single pregnancies in treated and control mares underlines that the percentage of twin pregnancy in treated mares (16.6%) was statistically significantly higher (P<0.0001; odds ratio, OR=2.87) than the percentage of twinning in the control group (6.5%). Comparison of the occurrence of twins between treatments revealed a statistically significant difference between mares treated with hCG alone compared to animals given prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) plus hCG. The results show a statistically significant difference for each treatment compared to controls, with the least difference (P<0.05; OR=2.18) for the comparison between hCG treatment group and controls, a significance of P<0.01; OR=3.05 for the comparison between PGF2alpha treatment and controls, and a highly statistically significant difference (P<0.0001; OR=6.37) for the comparison between PGF2alpha plus hCG-treated animals and controls. 相似文献

The present study was conducted to examine the meiotic competence of canine oocytes embedded in collagen gel, and to investigate the effects of timed exposure of the oocytes embedded in collagen gel to gonadotrophins during maturation culture, on their nuclear maturation. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected from bitches at the anoestrous and dioestrous stages of the reproductive cycle. In the first experiment, half of the COCs were embedded in collagen gels. The COCs with or without collagen-gel embedding were cultured in a TCM-199 medium supplemented with 0.1 IU/ml human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) and 10 IU/ml human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) for 72 h. In the second experiment, the COCs embedded in collagen gels were cultured in TCM-199 medium with gonadotrophins (hMG and hCG) for various periods (0, 24, 48 and 72 h) and then cultured in the medium without gonadotrophins until reaching total culture period (72 h). The percentage of the oocytes reaching metaphase I and metaphase II (MI/MII) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in COCs with collagen-gel embedding than in COCs without collagen-gel embedding. The percentage of oocytes that were arrested at the germinal vesicle stage was significantly lower (p < 0.05) in oocytes cultured with gonadotrophins than in oocytes cultured without gonadotrophins. However, there were no significant differences in the percentages of oocytes that reached each stage of meiosis among the groups, irrespective of the duration of exposure to gonadotrophins. These observations indicate that embedding of COCs by collagen gel enhances the meiotic competence of canine oocytes, but removal of hormone supplement from maturation medium does not improve the ability of the oocytes to reach MII stage. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate if treatment of equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG)-superovulated Sanjabi ewes with repeated administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) would increase the number of normal corpus luteum (CL) and serum progesterone concentrations and decrease the number of persistent follicles. The superovulated ewes were divided into four groups on day 0 (day of sponge removal); the ewes were treated by an intramuscular administration of 500?IU hCG on day 0 (Group I: n?=?10), on days 0 and 1 (Group II: n?=?10), or on days 0, 1, and 2 (Group III: n?=?10) and no treatment for control group (n?=?10). Blood samples were collected on days 0, 1, 2, 5, and 8 (day of slaughter), and serum progesterone concentrations were determined. According to progesterone concentrations, 50 (4/8) and 0?% of the ewes underwent premature luteal regression in the control group and the hCG groups, respectively. There were more CLs in Group III than in Group II and the control group. Ewes treated with hCG had a greater number of normal-looking CL. CL diameter was significantly greater in Group II and Group III than other groups. Total CL weight was significantly (P?<?0.05) higher in Group III than in Group I and the control group. Number of persistent follicle and persistent follicle diameter were lower in control group compared to the other groups. Eight days after sponge removal, serum progesterone concentration was significantly higher in Group III than in Group I and the control group. The present results indicate that repeated administration of hCG supported CL formation, increased serum progesterone concentration, and prevented premature luteal regression in eCG-superovulated Sanjabi ewes. 相似文献

In 3 adult female cheetahs, induced-superovulation treatment was conducted, by means of 200 IU of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and 100 IU of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) 80 hr after PMSG. The administration of PMSG created a sharp increase in the estradiol-17beta concentration, resulting in 232 pg/ml 8 hr later in one specimen out of three. The hCG administration showed an increase in the progesterone concentration of 2.29 ng/ml 46 hr later. In addition, after direct observation of the ovary surface by laparoscopy, 5 follicles in the right ovary over 2 mm in diameter, and 7 corpora lutea (5 in the right ovary and 2 in the left) were found. It is assumed that ovulation can be induced with hCG after 80 hr on PMSG during a cheetah's diestrus or proestrus. 相似文献
