Effect of fish meal supplementation on spatial distribution of lipid microdomains and on the lateral mobility of membrane-bound prostaglandin F2 α receptors in bovine corpora lutea1

This study examined the effects of fish meal supplementation on spatial distribution of lipid microdomains and lateral mobility of prostaglandin F2 α (FP) receptors on cell plasma membranes of the bovine corpus luteum (CL). Beef cows were stratified by BW and randomly assigned to receive a corn gluten meal supplement (n = 4) or fish meal supplement (n = 4) for 60 d to allow incorporation of fish meal derived omega-3 fatty acids into luteal tis sue. Ovaries bearing the CL were surgically removed between days 10 to 12 post-estrus corresponding to approximately day 60 of supplementation.
