Biochemical Characterization of Bovine Platelet-Rich Plasma: a Review
Keywords:
analytical characterization, biochemical composition, bovine, platelet rich-plasmaAbstract
Platelet rich-plasma (PRP) is a valuable biological fraction obtained from animal blood, with significant potential in veterinary medicine due to its complex composition, rich in proteins, growth factors, immunoglobulins and bioactive molecules. This review analyzes the chemical composition of PRP and modern characterization methods and techniques such as spectrophotometry, electrophoresis, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. Emerging therapeutic applications of PRP are also presented, especially in the context of bovine gynecological health, where it is used for the treatment of metritis, endometritis and stimulation of postpartum uterine regeneration. Through its immunomodulatory and healing actions, PRP offers a promising alternative to classical therapies, contributing to reducing the use of antibiotics and improving fertility in dairy farms.
