Bovine oocytes grown in serum-free medium acquire fertilization competence.
We previously found that bovine oocytes 90-99 microm in diameter in early antral follicles grew to nearly their final size in serum-free medium, with some of the oocytes acquiring the nuclear competence to reach the second metaphase. In the present study, we examined the competence of the fertilization and pre-implantational development of the oocytes grown in serum-free medium. Bovine early an...
متن کاملEffects of cysteamine during in vitro maturation on viability and meiotic competence of vitrified buffalo oocytes
The aims of the present study were to assess the effects of cysteamine as an anti-oxidant on the rate of in vitro maturation (IVM) of buffalo oocytes (experiment 1), and their viability and nuclear status following vitrification (experiment 2). Immature oocytes with compact cumulus cells obtained from the ovaries of slaughtered animals were harvested and then cultured in the maturation medium w...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
Involvement of apoptosis in disruption of developmental competence of bovine oocytes by heat shock during maturation.
Various pathological stimuli such as radiation, environmental toxicants, oxidative stress, and heat shock can initiate apoptosis in mammalian oocytes. Experiments were performed to examine whether apoptosis mediated by group II caspases is the cause for disruption of oocyte function by heat shock applied during maturation in cattle. Bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were cultured at 38.5, ...
متن کاملCa current activity decreases during meiotic progression in bovine oocytes
Tosti, Elisabetta, Raffaele Boni, and Annunziata Cuomo. Ca current activity decreases during meiotic progression in bovine oocytes. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 279: C1795–C1800, 2000.—By using the whole cell voltage-clamp technique, we studied changes in plasma membrane permeability at different meiotic stages of bovine oocytes. Follicular oocytes were matured in vitro and activated by Ca ionopho...
