Abstract

This study was performed to determine the concentrations of creatinine (CRE), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), nitric oxide (NO), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in follicular fluid (FF) in relation to follicular size and/or stage of the estrous cycle [early I luteal (n = 14), early II luteal (n = 16), late luteal (n = 16), and follicular (n = 16) phases] in Anatolian water buffaloes. The concentrations of CRE (P < 0.001), HDL (P < 0.001), LDL (P < 0.05) BUN (P < 0.001), and NO (P < 0.01) in FF of large follicles (LFs, ?10 to
