Association of Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders with Bovine Ovarian Follicular Cysts.

ABSTRACT: After estrus, when mature follicles fail to ovulate, they may further develop to form follicular cysts, affecting the normal function of ovaries, reducing the reproductive efficiency of dairy cows and causing economic losses to cattle farms. However, the key points of ovarian follicular cysts pathogenesis remain largely unclear. The purpose of the current research was to analyze the formation mechanism of ovarian follicular cysts from hormone and gene expression profiles. The concentrations of progesterone (P₄), estradiol (E₂), insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), leptin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and ghrelin in follicle fluid from bovine follicular cysts and normal follicles were examined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or 125I-label
