Ovarian and immunological responses to alternating exogenous gonadotropin regimens in the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and tigrina (Leopardus tigrinus)

Abstract 10.1002/zoo.20049.abs Exogenous gonadotropins frequently are used to stimulate ovarian follicular growth and ovulation in mammalian species, including felids. However, repeated exogenous gonadotropin treatment can result in decreased ovarian responsiveness due to antibody formation. In this study, our objectives were to assess the effectiveness of alternating gonadotropin regimens on ovarian responses in ocelots and tigrinas, […]
