초록

본 연구는 한우 난소의 난포 발달에 있어서 bFF 또는 anti-inhibin serum(AI)의 생리적 역할을 검토하기 위해 수행하였다. Saline(0.95%, control), bFF 또는 AI를 경정맥 주사 처리한 9마리의 한우 암소에서 채혈하여 혈중 estradiol-17$\beta$(E2), inhibin 및 progesterone(P4) 농도를 분석하였으며, 이들 처리에 의한 난포의 발달은 초음파 진단기를 이용하여 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 혈중 inhibin 농도는 bFF 처리구에서 배란 후 102시 간부터 유의적으로 증가하여(p<0.05) 지속적으로 높은 수준을 유지하였다. 혈중 E2 농도는 saline 처리구의 경우 bFF 처리구와 비슷한 수준으로 배란 후부터 낮은 농도를 유지하였으나, AI 처리구는 배란 후 36시간 이후부터 108시간까지 유의적으로 높은 수준을 유지하다가(p<0.05) 점차적으로 감소되는 경향을 나타내었다. 혈중 P4 농도는 saline 처리구와 AI 처리구에서 배란 후 68시간째부터 증가하기 시작하였으나, bFF 처리구에서는 배란 후 84시간부터 180시간까지 saline 또는 AI 처리구에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 농도를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 한편, AI 또는 bFF 처리가 난포 발달에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여, 초음파 진단기를 이용하여 난소의 난포 발달을 조사한 결과, bFF 처리구에 비해 AI 처리구에서 발달 난포가 많은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면, 외인성 AI는 한우난소에서 분비하는 inhibin을 특이하게 억제하여, inhibin에 의해 분비가 억제되어 있던 FSH 분비를 촉진시킴으로써 난포 발달과 estrogen의 분비 증가를 유발하는 것으로 사료된다 따라서 한우에 있어서 배란 직후 새롭게 발달하는 난포에는 적어도 inhibin이 관여하고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

This study was performed to investigate the physiological effects of bovine follicular fluid (bFF) or anti-inhibin serum (AI) on follicular development in Hanwoo. Saline (0.95%), bFF or AI (total of 40 ml) were administered into the jugular vein in 9 Hanwoo cows. The plasma inhibin, estradiol-17 $\beta$ (E2), and progesterone (P4) levels were measured using RIA or ELISA kit and the number of ovarian follicles was observed by ultrasonography at 72 hr after ovulation. The plasma inhibin level in bFF treatment group was significantly increased and maintained higher level from 102 hr after ovulation compared to that of saline and AI groups (p<0.05). In plasma E2 level, AI treatment group showed significantly higher level from 36 hr to 108 hr after ovulation than that of saline and bFF groups (p<0.05). After that it showed decreasing tendency. The plasma P4 level was increased in control and AI treatment groups at 68 hr after ovulation. However, it was maintained significantly lower level in bFF group from 84 hr to 180 hr compared to that of saline and AI group (p<0.05). As a result of ultrasonography at 72 hr after ovulation, higher number of follicles was shown in AI treatment group compared to bFF groups, although the difference was not statistically significant. Taken together, it can be postulated that a treatment of synthesized AI inhibits the secretion of inhibin, stimulates FSH secretion inhibited by inhibin, and induces follicular development and estrogen secretion. According to these results, a development of ovarian follicle immediately after ovulation is associated closely with inhibin in Hanwoo heifers.
