Correlation between follicle diameter and pre-ovulatory metabolic profile in Bos grunniens by Jiuru Yan, Jiuru Yan, Jiuru Yan, Yuxin Fu, Yuxin Fu, Yuxin Fu, Lan Lan, Huizhu Zhang, Huizhu Zhang, Huizhu Zhang, Ling Huang, Ling Huang, Yaying Wang, Yaying Wang, Xianrong Xiong, Xianrong Xiong, Xianrong Xiong, Shi Yin, Shi Yin, Shi Yin, Jian Li, Jian Li, Jian Li, Honghong He, Honghong He, Honghong He

“…Differential metabolites enriched KEGG pathways to screen the pathways that might be related to follicle development.ResultsWe found that most of the metabolites were mainly enriched in amino acid metabolism pathways, energy metabolism pathways and other pathways of cofactor synthesis, and that during the development of the small follicle to the large follicle, 2-Lysophosphatidylcholine, PC (17:0/0:0), PC (16:0/0:0), and LysoPC (18:0/0:0) were down-regulated; Dioctyl succinate, P-Coumaraldehyde, ISOPRENE, L-Isoleucine, Dioctyl succinate up-regulated.ConclusionThese results suggest that amino acid metabolism, the production of steroid hormones and their metabolites, and the metabolic activity of granulosa cells play important roles in follicle development. …”
