O experimento 1 foi realizado para verificar a dose mínima de LH capaz de induzir ovulação em folículos com diâmetro entre 10 e 11 mm. Vacas Nelore (n=20) foram submetidas à sincronização da ovulação e o crescimento folicular passou a ser acompanhado diariamente por ultrassonografia (US). Quando os folículos atingiram diâmetro entre 10 e 11 mm, os animais foram divididos em quatro grupos para receber diferentes doses de LH (Lutropin-V®, Bioniche, Ontario, Canada; IM): 1,56; 3,12; 6,25 e 12,5 mg. Os dados foram analisados pelo Teste Exato de Fisher (PROC FREQ, do SAS). As taxas de ovulação foram 0 (0/5), 80 (4/5), 80 (4/5) e 80% (4/5), respectivamente, ocorrendo diferença significativa entre o grupo 1,56 mg e os demais (p<0,02). No experimento 2, foram utilizados 6,25 mg de LH para induzir ovulação em vacas Nelore (n=53) submetidas a sincronização da ovulação e divididas em cinco grupos de acordo com o diâmetro folicular (mm) no momento da administração de LH: Grupo 1 (7,0 a 7,5); Grupo 2 (7,6 a 8,0); Grupo 3 (8,1 a 8,5); Grupo 4 (8,6 a 9,0) e Grupo 5 (9,1 a 10,0). Os resultados foram analisados por Regressão Logística (PROC GENMOD, do SAS). As taxas de ovulação foram 0 (0/11), 20 (2/10), 36 (4/11), 36 (4/11) e 90% (9/10), respectivamente. Houve diferença significativa entre G5 e os demais grupos (p<0,01). Ao associar G1+G2 (7,0 a 8,0 mm), G3+G4 (8,1 a 9,0 mm) e G5 (9,1 a 10,0 mm) as taxas de ovulação foram 9 (2/21), 36 (8/22) e 90% (9/10), respectivamente. Houve diferença significativa entre G1+G2 vs G5 (p<0,01), G3+G4 vs G5 (p<0,02) e G1+G2 vs G3+G4 (p<0,03). Após a administração de LH, o diâmetro do menor folículo capaz de ovular foi 7,65 mm. No experimento... === The aim of the present experiment was to verify the relationship between follicular diameter, ovulation rate and gene expression of LH receptor isoforms, in Nellore cows. Experiment 1 was performed to determine the lowest LH dose necessary to induce ovulation in follicles with 10 to 11 mm in diameter. Nellore cows (n=20) had their ovulation induced by hormonal treatment, and afterwards follicular growth was daily observed by ultrasonography (US). When the follicles reached 10 to 11 mm diameter, the cows were randomly allocated in four groups and treated with different doses of LH (Lutropin-V®, Bioniche, Ontario, Canada): Groups 1.56; 3.12; 6.25 and 12.5 mg. The data were analyzed by Fisher’s Exact Test (PROC FREQ, SAS). The ovulation rates were 0 (0/5), 80 (4/5), 80 (4/5) e 80% (4/5), respectively, and it was lower in group 1.56 when compared to the others (P<0.02). In experiment 2, the 6.25 mg LH dose was chosen to induce ovulation in Nellore cows (n=53), submitted to the same hormonal treatment used in experiment 1, and randomly allocated in five groups according to follicular diameter (mm) at the time of LH administration: Group 1 (7.0-7.5); Group 2 (7.6-8.0); Group 3 (8.1-8.5); Group 4 (8.6-9.0) and Group 5 (9.1-10.0). The results were analyzed by Logistic Regression (PROC GENMOD, SAS). The ovulation rates were 0 (0/11), 20 (2/10), 36 (4/11), 36 (4/11) and 90% (9/10), respectively, for G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5. There was significant difference between G5 and the others groups (P<0.01). When data from two groups (except Group 5) were combined G1+G2 (7.0-8.0 mm), G3+G4 (8.1-9.0 mm) and G5 (9.1-10.0) ovulation rates were, respectively, 9 (2/21), 36 (8/22) e 90% (9/10). There were significant differences when comparing G1+G2 v. G5 (P<0.01), G3+G4 v. G5 (P<0.02) and G1+G2 v. G3+G4 (P<0.03). After LH application, the smallest follicle that ovulated had a diameter of 7.65 mm. In ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
