Thinking twice: cloning and in vitro fertilization.

P-34: Effect of Including Growth Factors andAntioxidants in Maturation Medium Used forIn vitro Culture of Buffalo Oocytes RecoveredIn vivo

Background: This study examined the effect of including one of two growth factors (100 ng/ml IGF-1 or 20 ng/ ml EGF) in combination with one of two antioxidants (50 μM cysteamine or 50 μM beta-mercaptoethanol) in invitro maturation of buffalo oocytes, followed by fertilization and subsequent development of embryos. Materials and Methods: The oocytes were recovered by in vivo ovum pick-up techni...

Impact of The Endometrioma on Ovarian Response and Pregnancy Rate in In Vitro Fertilization Cycles

Pnm-11: In Vitro Fertilization and The Challenges Ahead

s:1858:"Background: Infertility is defined as inability in pregnancy after one year of regular intercourse without using contraceptive methods. Approximately15-10% of couples in childbearing appears infertile. It is the cause of infertility in men and women and infertility treatment depends on type of failure and is one of the methods of treating infertility in vitro fertilization. This researc...

Efficient Method For Combined Electrical-Chemical Parthenogenetic Activation of Bovine Oocytes

Purpose: Parthenogenetic activation is among the crucial steps determining successful development of mammalian cloned embryos. This study, therefore, was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of a novel combined electrical-chemical artificial activation method for bovine cloning. Materials and Methods: In vitro matured bovine oocytes than were initially exposed to electrical pulse, used for cel...
