Abstract

Follicular fluid biochemical compounds are influenced by their corresponding serum metabolites. In this study, 45 non-pregnant Holstein cows were selected and divided into three categories (small, medium and large). Blood samples were taken before slaughter from tail vein. Glucose, urea and insulin were measured in serum and follicular fluid. The results showed that by increasing the size of the follicles, glucose and insulin concentration increased significantly (P<0.05), however, urea concentration significantly (P<0.05) reduced in follicular fluid. In general, these result showed the existence of significant relation between the follicular size and concentration of these metabolites is a useful indicator to realize their role in growth and maturation of Oocytes.
