dc.description.abstractAssisted reproductive technology (ART) is key in cattle breeding as it enables selective mating and improves both reproductive efficiency and genetic improvement. However, there is still limited information on the long-term effects of these methods on the health and development of the offspring. This study aims to investigate the biochemical profile of cattle born through ART, from a previous study (Lopes et al., 2020), over an extended period to understand how these techniques may affect their health and metabolism. Male and female (not pregnant or lactating) cattle born after artificial insemination (AI, N= 7) were compared to those derived from in vitro produced embryos (IVP) using a standard protocol (C-IVP, N= 7), or using oviductal and uterine fluids in the process (RF-IVP, N= 4). Males and females were kept in two diferent open pens, but fed and managed under identical conditions their whole lives. Animals were studied every six months, from 1.5 years old until ≥4 years old, since their first year of life was evaluated by Lopes et al. (2022). Tail vein blood plasma was obtained by centrifugation (1000 G, 10 min) in lithium heparin tubes and stored at 80°C. The biochemical profile included total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLOB), creatinine (CREA), urea (URE), glucose (GLUC), cholesterol (CHOL), triglycerides (TRIG), amylase (AMIL), lipase (LIP), creatinine kinase (CK), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and total bilirubin (TB). After serial dilutions, inter- and intraassay precision of the methods were lineal and below 15%. Data normal ly distributed was analysed using ANOVA and Tukey’s test; data not normally distributed was analysed using the Kruskal Wallis and Games Howell’s test (statistical significance p<0.05). The data is shown below as means by group over the years. The AI group had lower CREA and CHOL levels (1.43±0.05 mg/dL and 109.97±5.27 mg/dL, respectively) than C-IVP (1.75±0.07 mg/dL and 126.57±7.53 mg/dL, respectively) and RF-IVP (1.86±0.08 mg/dL and 140.01±7.19 mg/dL, respectively). The GGT levels were lower in RFIVP animals (13.00±1.30 UI/L) than both the C-IVP (17.55±1.10 UI/L) and AI groups (16.05±1.23 UI/L). Moreover, the levels of ALT were significantly lower in C-IVP (28.60±1.72 UI/L) than in the AI (34.35±1.81 UI/ L) and RF-IVP groups (33.40±2.24 UI/L). Depending on the age of the animal at the time of sample collection, significant differences were observed for most parameters. The parameters TP, GLOB, CREA, URE, AMIL, AST an increased in their concentration was observed as the animals aged, whilst ALB, GLUC, ALP decreased with age. However, all values can be considered within physiological ranges despite the significant v ariations. To conclude, the study showed differences in some biochemical parameters amongst the ART groups and with aging. However, despite the diferences all values were within physiological ranges. These findings are key to study the potential implications of this diferences on the animal’s health.es
