Abstract

Estimation of metabolites in cystic and normal preovulatory follicular fluid through proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (¹H NMR) in cattle suffering from cystic ovarian follicle is highly desirable.The trans-vaginal ultrasound guided ablation was used to collect follicular fluid from cystic (15) and normally cycling (8) dairy cattle. NMR spectra of both fluids were recorded at a resonance frequency of 500.13 MHz on a Bruker Avance-500 spectrometer equipped with solid state probe (5 mm). Spectra were phased manually, baseline corrected, and calibrated against 3-(trimethylsilyl) propionic-2,2,3,3-d₄ acid at 0.0 parts per million (ppm) using Prometab software running within MATLAB. The cystic ovarian follicle associated metabolites with variable importance in projection (VIP) scores >2 were lactate (1.98 ppm), UDP-G (5.62), pyruvate (2.34 and 2.38) and creatinine/creatine (3.14) in cystic and normal preovulatory follicular fluid.These metabolites showed identifiable peaks, and thus can be used as potential biomarkers for dairy cattle suffering from cystic ovarian follicle.
