Metabolic profile of recipient cows and Nelore calves produced by in vitro fertilization (IVF). 2018 62f.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of giant calf syndrome (macrossomia) on the metabolic profile and glycemic control of IVF recipients or AI pregnant cows and their calves. This investigation includes four experiments in which venous blood was collected from all animals to determine serum levels of urea, creatinine, protein, albumin, GGT, cholesterol, triglycerides, β-HBO, NEFA, glucose and lactate. In the first experiment Nelore embryo recipient cows were used for IVF (n = 8) and AI pregnant Nelore cows submitted to cesarean section (n = 12). Five moments were evaluated: 270, 280 gestation days, before labor induction, 12 and 24 hours after induction. In the second experiment the cesarean section obtained calves were evaluated in 11 moments: 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours and 5, 7, 15 and 30 days after birth. Besides the birth measured fruitosamine and serum insulin at the moments: 0, 12, 24 hours and 7 days after birth. In the third experiment, Nelore IVF embryo recipient cows were evaluated for standard weight calves (n = 17), high weight (n = 16) and natural calving AI gestation Nelore cows (n = 16) as control group. The evaluated moments were 288 gestation days and up to 6 hours after the natural calving. Two moments were determined: 288 gestation days and after calving. In the fourth experiment, newborn Nelore calves (n = 76) were used, divided in three groups: Nelore calves by term AI (n=27), Nelore calves by term IVF with standard breed weight (n = 32) and Nelore calves by term with macrosomia (n = 17, weight> 45 kg). The evaluated moments were up to 6 hours and between 24 and 36 hours of life. In addition to the fruitosamine measured at the first moment. For statistical analysis in experiments 1 and 2, Tukey's test was used for time and Student for treatment effect, in experiments 3 and 4, Tukey's test was used for treatment effect and Paired t-test for time effect, using the statistical program Sigma Stat 3.5. IVF calves with macrosomia were 33% (16/48). Regarding the urea of the IVF recipient or AI pregnant cows, there was statistical difference between the treatments within each time (cesarean section). Regarding kidney function, there was a statistical difference between urea and creatinine in the first and fourth experiment, respectively. In the evaluation of energy metabolism there was a difference in cholesterol, triglycerides and plasma glucose among the animals of the first and second experiments. Also, in the penultimate there was statistical relevance of the non-esterified fatty acid. In the comparison between the third experiment animals there was difference for cholesterol and triglycerides. In the fourth experiment, there was a difference in cholesterol and plasma lactate (P <0.05). Therefor...
This study evaluated the viability of Nellore cloned calves derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) and compare their viability with animals of the same breed derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF). Thus, two groups were formed. Group I (GI) consisted of 10 calves derived from SCNT and group II (GII) consisted of 10 calves derived from IVF. The differences detected between the groups were in the physical examination of the respiratory tract in GI, which represented the most common clinical-pathological disturbances. The Apgar index score indicated that 80% of GI animals were depressed and all had pale mucous membranes. Thus, anemia was reported in GI. In GII, this started at 12 h of life and was probably caused by an iron deficiency. Moreover, total calcium and ionized calcium levels were higher in GI immediately after birth. These alterations probably resulted in a high incidence of mortality in GI, reaching 90% of the calves, whereas mortality was only 20% for the calves in GII. In conclusion, cloned calves, which were derived from SCNT, had physiological and metabolic alterations after delivery, leading to a higher mortality rate during the perinatal period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
