Identifier1/0613/13
Funding schemeScientific grant agency (Ministry of education, science, research and sport of the Slovak Republic)
Principal investigator at UVLFVlčková Radoslava, doc. MVDr., PhD.
Project duration01.01.2013 – 31.12.2015
The aim of the proposed project is to search information about the effects of herbal tea rooibos and extract of yukka whose are mostly used in human folk physic for a prevention of several civilizational diseases, with the aim to clarify their effects on the reproduction and energetic metabolism of domestic animals and to understand the mechanism of their action. During the solution of the project in in vivo experiments, we presume to observe changes in ovarian folliculogenesis and concentrations of reproductive and metabolic hormones and other signal substances and energetic metabolic profile in vivo in the blood of rabbit does and ewes after rooibos and yukka suplementation. In in vitro experiments on cultured ovarian cells in both animal species subjected to effect of rooibos and yukka, changes in expression of proliferative and apoptotic markers, secretion of hormones and other signal substances and their response to physiological regulatory additives (FSH, IGF-I) from rooibos and yukka will be observed.
