Oviduct specific glycoprotein expression in goats (Capra aegagrus) testes and ovaries
Abstract
The OVGP have important rule in male reproduction to improve physiological and membrane fluidity and helps increase calcium ions into membranes that stimulate membrane bonding with intracellular cAMP thus enhancing the integrity of intact membranes of spermatozoa. In female reproduction, OVGP have important rule to support fertilization. In pig and cow, there have been found where was the expression of OVGP in ovarium and it have been used in vitro fertilization. This study was conducted to determine the expression of OVGP in local goat (Capra aegragus) testis and ovarium. The testes and ovaries that used in this study was taken form slaughterhouse whith maximum time three hours from organs harvesting. Observation of OVGP expression in the testis and ovarium was done by immunohistochemical method. The results showed that OVGP expression in goat testes was seen in the base cells of seminiferous tubules of spermatogonium, spermatocyte cells and in interstitial cells or leydig cells, on the other hand OVGP expression showed in follicle tertier and corpus luteum of ovarium. Based on these results it can be concluded that there is an expression of OVGP in local goat testis and ovarium that have important rules of male and female reproduction.
