We previously reported increased follicular fluid progesterone (P4) concentrations in ewes
fed an n-3 compared to an n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-enriched diet, but detected …

The evidence that omega-3 (n-3) and-6 (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have
differential effects on ovarian function, oocytes and embryo quality is inconsistent. We report …

Beneficial effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation on dairy cow
reproduction have been previously reported. The objectives of the present study were to …

The practice of “fat feeding” has become common in the dairy industry in a number of
countries. There are several ideas as to how dietary lipids could influence reproductive …

The pre-implantation period is prone to embryonic losses in bovine. Embryo–maternal
communication is crucial to support embryo development. Thereby, factors of the uterine …

Previous studies in cattle have shown influences of dietary unsaturated fatty acid (UFA)
supplementation on ovarian function. However, it is unclear whether these UFA exert direct …

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of exogenous polyunsaturated fatty
acids (PUFA) on the production of progesterone and prostanoids by dispersed bovine luteal …

Background Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)
belonging to a family of biologically active fatty acids (FA), which are known to have …

The potential for dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) to
improve reproductive efficiency in cattle has received much interest. The mechanisms by …

Fats in the diet can influence reproduction positively by altering both ovarian follicle and
corpus luteum function via improved energy status and by increasing precursors for the …
