ABSTRACT
Gangwar C, Prasad S, Prasad JK, Singh SP, Verma AK., Effect of nitric oxide (NO) synthase
inhibitor on progesterone secretion, NO concentration and estrous
cycle length in buffaloes, Online J Vet Res, 14 (1):49-55, 2010.
Nitric oxide inhibitor
stimulated progesterone secretion, decreased serum concentration of
nitrate/nitrite and extended functional life of the corpus luteum
in buffaloes. Nitric oxide inhibitor
could be used to minimize early embryonic losses due to luteal
insufficiency in buffaloes.
Key words: Buffaloes, Corpus luteum function, Nitric oxide, NOS inhibitor (L-NAME), Ovulatory cycle, Progesterone (P4).
