The relationships between transforming growth factors <i>β</i> and free thyroxine and progesterone in the ovarian cysts, preovulatory follicles, and the serum of sows
The aim of the study was to determine the relationships between bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF-9) concentrations and free thyroxine (FT<sub>4</sub>) and progesterone (P<sub>4</sub>) concentrations in follicular cysts, preovu...

| description | The aim of the study was to determine the relationships between bone
morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF-9)
concentrations and free thyroxine (FT<sub>4</sub>) and progesterone (P<sub>4</sub>)
concentrations in follicular cysts, preovulatory follicles, and the serum of
sows (cyst-bearing (<i>n</i> = 26) and non-cyst-bearing (<i>n</i> = 26)). FT<sub>4</sub> and
P<sub>4</sub> concentrations were higher in the cystic fluid than in the fluid of preovulatory follicles (<i>p</i> < 0.01 and <i>p</i> < 0.05 respectively). BMP-15 and
GDF-9 concentrations were higher in the serum of cyst-bearing sows than
non-cyst-bearing sows (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and higher in the cystic fluid than in
the follicular fluid (<i>p</i> < 0.05). In the cysts and preovulatory follicles,
GDF-9 concentration was higher than in serum (<i>p</i> < 0.01). FT<sub>4</sub>
concentration in the serum of cystic sows was correlated with BMP-15
(<i>r</i> = 0.50, <i>p</i> < 0.05) and GDF-9 (<i>r</i> = 0.62, <i>p</i> < 0.01) concentrations in
serum. In the serum of non-cyst-bearing sows, a positive
correlation between P<sub>4</sub> concentration and BMP-15 concentration
(<i>r</i> = 0.60, <i>p</i> < 0.01) was detected.
<br><br>
These data will help provide insight into the role of BMP-15, GDF-9,
FT<sub>4</sub>, and P<sub>4</sub> during cyst formation in sows. |
