Changes in Some Metabolites and Ovarian Response to Super-ovulation Treatment after the Induction of Inflammation in Sheep

The effects of inflammation on the changes in some blood metabolites and ovarian response to super-ovulation treatment in sheep were investigated. Inflammation was induced artificially with LPS(Lipopoly-saccharide E. coli； 0.2mg/kg). Changes in the levels of NEFA, GOT, ${\gamma}$-GTP and body temperature after LPS injection were observed. Superovulation was carried out about 2 months after LPS injection. The body temperature, the levels of NEFA and GOT increased, and the level of total cholesterol decreased transiently. However, the level of ${\gamma}$-GTP did not change significantly. Superovulation results were not different between LPS injection and control groups. It was indicated that superovulation results did not decrease in the sheep which showed regular estrous cycle even after the induction of inflammation.
