Abstract:

The ovary is an important component of the reproductive system of female livestock, and its function is regulated by many factors, among which oxidative stress, as an important cellular biological process, has been found to have a profound effect on the ovarian function. The balance between oxidation and antioxidants in the ovary plays a significant role in maintaining ovarian function. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the ovary participates in the regulation of oocyte growth, meiosis, ovulation, and other physiological processes. The accumulation of ROS can lead to ovarian dysfunction and affect the formation of dominant follicles. It has influence on oocyte maturation, fertilization, and subsequent embryo implantation and development. Aiming at the effects of oxidative stress on ovarian function of female animals, this paper further explored the effects of oxidative stress on oocytes, granulosa cells, follicular membrane cells and corpus luteum of female animals, and in-depth understanding of the mechanism will help reveal the internal relationship between ovarian physiology and pathology, and provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of reproduction related diseases.

Key words: female livestock, oxidative stress, ovary, oocyte, granulosa cell, corpus luteum, mitochondria
