Özet
This study aimed to determine and compare the concentrations of progesterone, estradiol, melatonin, serotonin and nitric oxide in the blood plasma following induced estrus in (autumn) and outside (spring) the natural breeding season in ewes. In addition, seasonal changes in serotonin levels following induced estrus in ewes were examined for the first time. A total of 20 Tuj ewes were used in the study. The ewes were synchronized in the breeding season (n= 10) and non-breeding season (n= 10) by using an intravaginal progestin-containing sponge (60 mg medroxy-progesterone acetate) for 12 days. Then, the sponge was withdrawn, and 2.5 mL of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2α) was injected intramuscularly with 500 IU pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG). The first blood samples were collected immediately after removal of the intravaginal sponge (at 0 hour) and the rest was collected at 4-hour intervals between 24 and 68 hours.
