Popis: | The tested hypotheses were (1) LH/FSH pulses and F2 diameter are diminished by P4 and, (2) E2 increases during the transition to deviation and alters LH/FSH pulses. On Day 5 (Day 0 = ovulation), heifers were randomized into an untreated group (HiP4, n = 11), and a prostaglandin analog treated group (NoP4, n = 10). On Day 6, a follicular wave was induced by follicle ablation. Ultrasound and blood collections were performed every 12 h from Days 7 to 11. Blood was collected every 15 min for 10 h on Day 9 (largest follicle expected to be ~7.5 mm). Estradiol was ~75% greater (0.36 ± 0.14 vs 0.63 ± 0.19 pg/mL) in heifers with F1 ≥ 7.2 mm than in heifers with F1 |
