The influence of procarbazine and thiocyanate on embryonic bone maturation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The substance procarbazine (Natulan®) is a teratogen known to induce cleft palates in rats on day 14 post-conception. The application of thiocyanate (SCN-) alone to rats on day 10 and 14 of pregnancy had no effects on fetal bone maturation. However, when procarbazine was used, the maturation and growth of fetal bones was delayed. Upon additional application of thiocyanate, the effects of procarbazine (Natulan‚) were increased. Thus, no antiteratogenic effect of thiocyanate occurs. We propose that charge and metabolites of teratogenic agents play a key role in developing the effects of thiocyanate.

P-109: Using SMAD2/3 Inhibitor to Investigate the Importance of GDF9 Signaling on Ovine Cumulus Expansion and Subsequent Embryonic Development
Background: Oocyte in vitro maturation success rate is still low in compareision to oocyte in vivo maturation. Thus prediction and improvement of oocyte competency are two critical issues in assisted reproductive technology. New insights into oocyte-cumulus cell regulatory loop may assist our optimization of in vitro maturation technique. Maturation and developmental competency of cumulus oocyt...

Background: Heat shock may affect different aspects of oocyte maturation and its subsequent development to the blastocyst stage. A series of in vitro experiments was performed to determine whether physiologically heat shock (41°C) disrupts the progression of the ovine oocytes through meiosis, activation and blastocyst formation. Materials and Methods: The cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were as...

The aim of this study was to isolate mouse embryonic stem cells from late blastocyst stage embryos and to use them as a model system for the study of hematopoietic induction outside the embryo by coculturing of embryonic stem cells with bone marrow stromal cells. Blastocyst stage embryos from pregnant NMRI mice were obtained and cultured for 1-2 days in DMEM medium. The inner cell masses formed...

Purpose: To study the effect of ethanol on resumption of meiosis, maturation and development of immature mouse oocytes in vitro. Materials and Methods: Immature oocytes were dissected from ovary of NMRI strain mouse (6-8 weeks old) and divided into control and experimental groups. The absolute ethanol was imposed to oocytes at doses of 0 (Control), 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4% (v/v) in maturation c...
