Concentrations of l-ergothioneine in follicular fluids of farm animals

The aim of this study was to evaluate the concentration of l-ergothioneine in follicular fluid of some domestic farm animals, such as mare, sheep, goat, sow, and unweaned lamb. The group of unweaned lambs was the cluster with the lowest mean concentration (0.12 ± 0.06 μmol/L), while the mares showed the highest mean values (3.16 ± 1.27 μmol/L). The mean levels in the sheep and goats were similar (0.72 ± 0.21 vs. 0.73 ± 0.50 μmol/L), while the...
