The aim of this study was to determine the effect of feed restriction on follicular dynamics and hormone secretion patterns in goats, and to examine the effect of neurokinin B analog (senktide) under this experimental setting. Goats were administered 2 mg of dinoprost during the luteal phase, and CIDR was inserted for 10 days. Feed was provided at the level of 50% (feed-restricted; n=9) or 100% maintenance (control; n=4) for 15 days, beginning on the day of C...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate ovarian and hormonal responses to the administration of metastin/kisspeptin analog, TAK-683, under the endocrine environments of luteal and follicular phases in goats. At 7–10 days after the confirmation of ovulation by ultrasonography, six goats received a prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) injection (Day 0) followed by 10 days of CIDR-G® treatment. PGF2α was injected agai...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate ovarian and hormonal responses to follicular phase administration of a metastin/kisspeptin analog, TAK-683, with a low dose, determined as the minimally effective dose for LH stimulation in ovariectomized goats. At 7–10 days after ovulation, goats received a prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) injection (day 0) followed by 10 days of CIDR-G® treatment. A PGF2α was injected a...
