ABSTRACT
This study was designed to evaluate the amounts of coagulation factors and to determine whether the protein profile in pre-ovulatory ovarian follicular fluid aspirated from ovaries collected from mares at slaughter are representative of that in follicular fluid collected from live animals. The proteins evaluated included, (i) albumin, ceruloplasmin and fibronectin, (ii) the procoagulant plasma proteins, Factor V (FV), Factor VII (FVII), Factor X (FX) and prothrombin, and (iii) the anticoagulant plasma proteins, antithrombin and alpha2-macroglobulin. The amounts of the individual proteins were similar in both types of follicular fluid. There was no correlation between the activity of FV, FVII, FX or prothrombin in follicular fluid and their molecular size although a correlation was found for the other proteins. These results suggest that the procoagulant proteins in follicular fluid are not likely derived from plasma. The total protein content of follicular fluid samples collected from both sources was similar and the results determined with the Biuret, Lowry and Biorad methods were also not significantly different (P>0.05).
