Effect of the bovine oviductal fluid on in vitro fertilization, development and gene expression of in vitro-produced bovine blastocysts.
Oviductal microenvironment generally provides better conditions for early embryo development than the conventional in vitro system. In an attempt to simulate the oviduct conditions or the main potentially influencing factors, the effect was studied of a bovine oviductal fluid (bOF) treatment applied prior to IVF on (i) IVF parameters, (ii) cleavage rate, (iii) blastocyst yield and (iv) blastocy...
متن کاملIn vitro Maturation and Fertilization of Buffalo Oocytes Cultured in Media Supplemented with Bovine Serum Albumin
The aim of this study was to determine the quality of cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COCs) and the effects of bovine serum albumin (BSA) supplementation on in vitro maturation and fertilization rate of buffalo oocytes. COCs were collected from slaughterhouse buffalo ovaries by aspiration method. Only normal grades COCs were matured for 48 hours in TCM-199 media. Two groups were created: one for the ...
متن کاملShort communication. In vitro oocyte maturation and fertilization rates in the Spanish Lidia bovine breed
The Lidia bovine breed is the most successful cattle breed on the Iberian Peninsula, also considered a hallmark of Spanish tradition and image around the world. The aims of the study were to characterize the oocyte recovery rates and to evaluate the effect of two standard in vitro maturation protocols on oocyte maturation (cumulus expansion and nuclear maturation) and fertilization rates after ...
متن کاملMicroRNA Expression during Bovine Oocyte Maturation and Fertilization
Successful fertilization and subsequent embryo development rely on complex molecular processes starting with the development of oocyte competence through maturation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that function as gene regulators in many biological systems, including the oocyte and embryo. In order to further explore the roles of miRNAs in oocyte maturation, we employed s...
متن کاملExploring cumulus-oocyte-complex-oviductal cell interactions: gene profiling in the bovine oviduct.
Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is present in the bovine oviduct and may play an important role in muscle contraction or as survival factor providing the optimal environment for fertilization and the early embryo. The aim of the present study was to investigate the estrous cycle-dependent changes and local distributions of PGE(2) receptors (EP) and members of the trefoil factor (TFF)-family in the ...
