Blood samples were obtained to determine hormones in serum. Cholesterol and progesterone were higher for T3 and T6 treatments (p < 0.05) compared to T0. Insulin was higher (p < 0.05) in the T6 treatment compared to treatments T3 and T0. At the time of ovulation, estradiol concentration was higher (p < 0.05) for treatments T3 and T6 compared to T0. The inclusion of corn oil in the diet increases the levels of cholesterol, progesterone, estradiol and insulin in sheep hair.</p>}, number={15}, journal={Ecosistemas y Recursos Agropecuarios}, author={meza villalvazo, Victor manuel and Rojas Marquez, Crystelli Alicia and Sandoval Castro, Carlos and Magana Sevilla, Hector and Trejo Cordova, Alfredo}, year={2018}, month={sep.}, pages={583–589} }
