Seminal plasma did not influence the presence of transforming growth factor-beta 1, interleukine-10 and interleukin-6 in porcine follicles shortly after insemination

Abstract

Conclusions: Our results show a presence of the cytokines TGF-beta 1, IL-6 and IL-10 in oocytes, granulosa and theca cells, as well as in the fluid of mature follicles suggesting a role of these cytokines in intra-ovarian cell communication. However, treatment (SP, fresh semen in BTS, spermatozoa in BTS or BTS) did not influence the IHC-labeling pattern or the levels of these cytokines in follicular fluid shortly after insemination.
