Rescue Potential of Supportive Embryo Culture Conditions on Bovine Embryos Derived from Metabolically Compromised Oocytes

P-118: Developmental Competence of Ovine Embryos Derived from Frozen Oocytes Co-Cultured with Embryos Derived from Fresh Oocytes

Background: Currently, a limited number of studies have been done on the vitrification of small ruminant oocytes, especially in sheep, where poor developmental rates are obtained following immature and mature oocyte vitrification. Poor ovine oocyte cryopreservation could attribute to the damage to enzymes which has role in metabolic pathways. Therefore, production of cytokines and growth factor...

Developmental potential of bovine oocytes cultured in different maturation and culture conditions.

Diverse groups of chemicals in culture media are needed for successful bovine oocyte maturation and embryo development during which dramatic cytoplasmic and nuclear reprogramming events take place. In vitro embryo production (IVP) procedures frequently include supplements such as serum and/or co-culture with various types of somatic cells. However, the presence of undefined serum in culture med...

In Vitro Maturation, Fertilization and Embryo Culture of Oocytes Obtained from Vitrified Auto-Transplanted Mouse Ovary

Deleterious actions of gossypol on bovine spermatozoa, oocytes, and embryos.

Gossypol (50 and 100 micrograms/ml) decreased the percentage of sperm that completed the swim-up procedure. This effect was not blocked by glutathione monoethyl ester. Cleavage rates were not different between oocytes inseminated with gossypol-treated spermatozoa (10 or 50 micrograms/ml) and oocytes inseminated with control spermatozoa. Development to the blastocyst stage at Day 7 after insemin...
