Key result
Nutrients and metabolic hormones regulate ovarian follicle and embryo development in ruminants.
Why the study?
The metabolic factors and molecular mechanisms involved in the interactions between nutrition and ovarian function in ruminants are still poorly understood.
Population
Ruminants with focus on ovarian follicles, oocytes, and embryos

Nutrient effects on ruminant fertility lack mechanistic clarity; leaves open molecular pathways for targeted reproductive research.
This review outlines the molecular mechanisms and metabolic factors through which nutrition impacts ovarian function and fertility in ruminants.
Dupont et al. (2014) conducted a review in Fertility and ovarian function in ruminants. Nutrition and metabolic status was evaluated. Nutrition, metabolic hormones, and energy sensors like AMPK and PPARs play a crucial role in the development of ovarian follicles, oocytes, and embryos in ruminants.
