Superovulation is a technique to acquire rats to produce many eggs than normal rats. Superovulated eggs were used to make cloned animals through somatic cell nuclear transfer technology (SCNT). Healthy and valuable oocyte retrieval is essential for successful somatic cell nuclear transfer. Superovulation is also essential to maximize to the yield of IVF-derived rat eggs. Osmotic pumps (Alzet®) are miniature in order to provide research with a convenient, and reliable alternative to chronic injections. Acquiring superovulated oocytes through osmotic pump in minimizing irritation to the uterus and ovaries are competitive. We investigated the effects of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) using osmotic pump in sDM rat. Adult female rats at 11 wks of age were used for superovulation. The response to PMSG and hCG were examined by osmotic pump of 150 IU/kg PMSG + 75 IU/kg hCG or 150 IU/kg PMSG + 150 IU/kg hCG or 300 IU/kg PMSG + 150 IU/kg hCG or 300 IU/kg PMSG + 300 IU/kg hCG. HCG was administered 48 hrs later after administration of PMSG. Oocytes were collected from the oviducts 16–18 hrs after hCG administration. Superovulation was significantly higher in rats administrated 150 IU/kg PMSG + 75 IU/kg hCG. This study demonstrated that healthy oocytes were produced in DM rat by PMSG and hCG that flowed through the osmotic pump ameliorate on uterus and ovaries.
