Vaginal cytology and histology are commonly used in rodents to classify the stages of the estrous cycle. Initial studies reported a coincidence between ovulation and leukocyte infiltration in the vaginal smear, thus defining infiltration as an indicator of ovulation in guinea pigs. The objective of this study was to study the accuracy of the use of vaginal histology and cytology to predict ovulation in guinea pig which was objectively determined by the presence of a corpus luteum in formation in the ovary. Female guinea pigs (n = 36) from 5 to 6 months of age were estrous synchronized with progesterone (0.22mg / Kg oral solution Altrenogest, Regu-Mate Porcina®, Merck) for 15 days. Synchronized females were randomly distributed into 6 groups of different times after the last dose of Altrenogest: 72 (G1), 84 (G2), 96 (G3), 108 (G4), 120 (G5) and 132h (G6) to evaluate opening, cytology, and vaginal histology. Epithelial cells were classified by cytology into parabasal(PB), intermediate(I), superficial(S), cornified(C), Leukocyte(LEU) and smear cellularity (CF). The histology of the vaginal tissue evaluated and classified into stratum mucified on vaginal mucosa (MUC), mucified stratum followed by stratum corneum on vaginal mucosa (MUCCORN), stratum corneum on vaginal mucosa (CORN), stratum granulosum on vaginal mucosa (GRAN), stratum germinativum on vaginal mucosa (GERM) and leukocyte infiltration of the vaginal epithelium (LE) and vaginal lumen (LL). The variables were analyzed by Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and Area under the Curve (AUC) to determine the precision of the variable to predict ovulation. The results indicate that ovulation started at 108h to 132 h post last dose of progesterone. Additionally, the variables GRAN, LE, C have an accuracy of 0.88, 0.84 and 0.83 achieved a ROC-AUC respectively to predict ovulation, with p>0.05. Likewise, the mathematical model with cytological and histological variables obtained by binary logistic regression to predict ovulation shows a correct prediction of 86.1% and 91.7%, respectively, and an accuracy of 0.93 and 0.97 (ROC-AUC). In conclusion, the histological and cytological variables of the vagina allow a high precision in the prediction of ovulation in guinea pigs synchronized with progesterone.
