Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 43(12), 643-647.1516-35981806-9290https://doi.org/10.1590/S1516-35982014001200003https://www.scielo.br/j/rbz/a/YHsCkfmDZZYSKZh4H6tQhGB/?lang=enhttps://hdl.handle.net/11452/39728In the present study we measured serum glucose, leptin, total cholesterol and total protein concentrations in repeat breeder cows and compared them with fertile cows. For this aim, 20 repeat breeder cows and 20 fertile cows were used as material. Repeat breeder cows were found to have lower levels of leptin and glucose as compared with fertile ones. No significant differences in total cholesterol and total protein levels were observed between the two groups. No significant correlation of leptin with glucose, total cholesterol and total protein was observed in fertile and repeat breeder cows. Low concentrations of glucose and leptin can have some effects on reproductive problems as repeat breeder and help to understand potential mechanisms impairing fertility in repeat breeder cows.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAdipose tissueReproductive problemCowLeptin hormoneBlood biochemical profileSecretionMetabolic signalGlandPlasma leptinExpressionDairy-cowsAgricultureVeterinary sciencesArticle0003464708000032-s2.0-849197644546436474312Agriculture, dairy & animal scienceVeterinary sciencesLeptin Receptors; Adiponectin; Obesity
