Implication

Randomized trial tests dietary oils on ovarian health in juvenile rabbits, suggesting potential hormonal benefits.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess how raspberry and strawberry seed oil supplementation affects ovarian function and hormonal levels in juvenile rabbits.
  • Dietary oils (1% raspberry oil or strawberry oil) were supplemented from 5 to 12 weeks of age in juvenile rabbits (n=6/group).
  • Ovaries and blood samples were collected post-slaughter for analyses of folliculogenesis, hormone levels, and fatty acid profiling.
  • Histological and gene expression analyses were performed on ovarian tissues while plasma hormone concentrations were measured.
  • Raspberry oil increased antral follicles (p=0.04) while both oils reduced primary follicles (p=0.04).
  • FSH and AMH concentrations were significantly higher in both supplemented groups (p=0.04 and p=0.035 respectively).
  • Strawberry oil altered the fatty acid profile, increasing monounsaturated fatty acids and reducing polyunsaturated fatty acids (p=0.038).
