Abstract
Somatic cell quality and oocyte quality may be influence by follicular fluid composition. The changes in metabolic composition in follicular fluid reflect the changes in biochemical composition of follicular fluid. The aim of this study was to examine the metabolic stressors composition of follicular fluid of sheep (obese, normal, metabolic stressed and emaciated). Follicular fluid samples were assayed for cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, ammonia, non-esterified fatty acids and β-hydroxybutryic acids. Metabolic stressors like total NEFA, urea and beta-hydroxy butyrate concentrations were significantly higher and cholesterol and triglycerides concentrations were significantly lowered in follicular fluid of metabolic stressed and emaciated ewes.
