Overview of New Concepts in Induce Ovulation Triggers in Dromedary Camels

The seminal plasma consists of several components that stimulate the ovulation process. The great quantity of an ovulation-inducing factor (OIF) in seminal plasma has wide implication questions about identification, sources, mechanism of action, role among species and clinical applications in the infertility. The purpose of the current review is to focus on the current understanding of physiological and biochemical properties of seminal plasma in camelids. llamas and alpaca seminal plasma was used as agent of induced and spontaneous ovulators. Column chromatography was used to identify the ovulation-inducing factor as part of seminal plasma that stimulating hormone secretion (LH) and ovulation in llamas. OIF is β-NGF that is highly conserved. An endocrine route of action of NGF explains a previously unknown pathway for the direct influence of the male on the hypothalamo–pituitary–gonadal axis of the inseminated female.
