K.  aBlood metabolite changes in Black Bengal goats following estrus synchronization and superovulation.  c1994  aThe concentration of glucose, total protein, inorganic phosphorus, and total cholesterol were studied in serum and blood of Black Bengal goats following synchronization of estrus and superovulation at three intervals: (1) before the start of the treatment; (2) on the day of estrus; (3) 48 h after the onset of estrus. Fort y-four adult (between 1 to 2 yr of age) Black Bengal female goats were used. Goats were divided into contraI (A), treated with progesterone (B), progesterone plus PMSG and HCG (C), PGF2a (D), PGF2a plus PMSG and HCG (E), PMSG and HCG (F). There were no significant differences among treatments. There was, however, a significant difference among periods. Values of blood glucose obtained at the time of estrus were significantly lower (P &lt 0.01) compared with before and 48 h after onset of estrus. Values of total protein were significantly higher (P&lt 0.01) at the time of estrus and 48 h after on set of estrus compared with before estrus. Values of total cholesterol were significantly higher (P &lt 0.05) at the time of estrus compared with before and 48 h after onset of estrus. Inorganic phosphorus was significantly lower (P&lt0.01) at the time of estrus and 48 h after onset compared with before estrus. It is concluded that the synchronization of estrus and superovulation is accompanied by significant increase in the concentrations of cholesterol and total protein and a decrease in glucose and inorganic phosphorus.  aCaprino  aReprodução  aSuperovulação  aEstro  aSincronizacao1 aPANDEY, J.
