Effect of Leptin on In Vitro Nuclear Maturation and Apoptosis of Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Oocyte

Effect of Leptin on In Vitro Nuclear Maturation and Apoptosis of Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Oocyte

BACKGROUND Leptin, as a 16 kDa adipokine, is a pleiotropic cytokine-like hormone that primarily secreted from adipose tissue. It also involves in the regulation of energy homeostasis, neuroendocrine function, immunity, lipid and glucose homeostasis, fatty acid oxidation, angiogenesis, puberty and reproduction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of in vitro addition of leptin t...

P-22: Effect of Bovine Cumulus Cell Co-Cultureon Maturation of Buffalo (Bubalus Bubalis)Oocyte

Background: The buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is the animal with special production characteristics in producing milk and meat has a critical role in rural industry in Iran. The most problem of this specie is its low reproductive output. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of bovine cumulus co-culture on maturation rate of Buffalo oocyte.Materials and Methods: Ovaries were colle...

IN VITRO PRODUCTION OF BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis) EMBRYOS

Two experiments (Exp) were carried out to test the effect of different media on in vitro maturation (IVM) (Exp 1; n = 1142 ovaries with 2666 oocytes) and to study in vitro fertilization (IVF) of buffalo oocytes (Exp 2; n = 110 ovaries with 330 oocytes). In exp 1 the collected cumulus oocyte complex (COCs) was allocated to three maturational media; TCM-199 supplemented with hormones (M1), TCM-19...
