Removal of the follicular content by transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration (OPU) may not induce immediate atresia and loss of<br />

function, resulting in the occurrence of residual or persistent follicles (Viana et al. 2001; Dorea et al., <strong>2011</strong>). The presence of steroidogenic<br />

activity post-aspiration in these structures may compromise the efficiency of the synchronization of follicular growth by removing the dominant<br />

follicle. The mechanisms associated with maintaining or not of the activity of the remaining follicular wall cells, however, are not clear. The aim<br />

of this study was to evaluate the changes in blood flow caused by follicular aspiration in functional dominant follicles. Holstein-Zebu cows (n<br />

= 10), lactating, cyclic and with body condition score of 2.4 ± 0.36 were used. The follicular growth was synchronized (D0) by 1 mg of<br />

oestradiol benzoate (Sincrodiol, OuroFino Agronegócios, Cravinhos, SP), and insertion of a progesterone releasing device (Sincrogest,<br />

OuroFino). In D0 the cows received 0.5 mg of clorprostenol sodium (Sincrocio, OuroFino) to prevent any interference of any corpus luteum<br />

in the evaluation of vascular dynamics. The dominant follicle of the subsequent wave (mean diameter 12.9±0.8 mm) was aspirated using<br />

conventional OPU procedures. The blood flow (BF) was monitored by color Doppler immediately before and every 12 h after aspiration for<br />

three days, using an ultrasound device equipped with a 7.5 MHz linear transducer (MyLabVet 30, Esaote, Genoa, Italy). The BF of each follicle<br />

was measured by calculating the ratio of the maximum area of the Doppler signal and the area of the follicular wall in the center section of the<br />

follicle. All aspirated follicles showed persistence, characterized by initial formation of a clot in the cavity 12 h after follicular aspiration, followed<br />

by retraction and formation of fluid-filled cavity with anechoic appearance, similar to the antrum of non-aspirated follicles. In one animal (10%)<br />

a reduction (87.0%) in BF was observed subsequent to aspiration, in the other animals the BF showed a quadratic effect according time postaspiration<br />

(y= -1.16x2 +11.33x +16.26; R² = 0.76), with an increase up to 48h and a reduction thereafter (P < 0.01). The increase in BF after<br />

aspiration may be due to the inflammatory reaction associated with the procedure, and could indirectly contribute to the maintenance of the<br />

steroidogenic activity in the remaining cells of the follicular wall. The preliminary results suggest that the follicle aspiration affects the pattern of<br />

vascular wall, leading to a transient increase in blood flow. [Acknowledgment: Nutricell Nutrientes Celulares, CAPES, Fapemig and Embrapa<br />

Glucocorticoids have immunosuppressive and antiinflammatory activity, affect the release of GnRH (Nangalama and Moberg,<br />

1991, Journal of Endocrinol. 137, 87-94) and can affect programs of fixed-time AI, in vivo and in vitro embryo production. The objective of the<br />

study was to evaluate the production of COCs recovered by OPU after dexamethasone administration in cows. We used nine (n = 9) females,<br />

with average weight of 454 ± 55.7 kg and 3.5 ± 0.5 score of body condition, aged between four and six years old. The animals were divided<br />

evenly into two groups: treatment group (Gt, n = 6) and control group (Gc, n = 3). In the D0 Gt received 0.1 mg / kg of dexamethasone (iv),<br />

repeated every 24 h for 5 consecutive days. The Gc group received saline solution (0.1 mg / kg IV) like Gt. Both groups underwent OPU every<br />

four days (D0, D4, D8, D12, D16 and D20), in a total of six aspirations in the experimental period (20 days). COCs recovered were classified<br />

as viable or unviable, according to Viana et al. (2004, Anim. Reprod. Sci. 84: 1-12). The data were analysed by t test or correlation analysis.<br />

Difference was observed between the number of viable COCs and unviable during the experimental period. No differences were observed in the<br />

total number of COCs between days of treatment (P < 0,05). Low correlation (r = 0,07) between the number of viable COCs and treatment day,<br />

so the dexamethasone protocol did not affect the quality and quantity of recovered COCs.<br />
