Pre-IVM treatment with C-type natriuretic peptide in the presence of cysteamine enhances bovine oocytes antioxidant defense ability and developmental competence in vitro
Background: The use of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) combined with cysteamine during pre-in vitro maturation (IVM) can help establish an effective pre-IVM system. Aims: This study was designed to investigate the effects of CNP combined with cysteamine on meiotic maturation and developmental competence of bovine oocytes in vitro. Met...
متن کاملEffect of Fibroblastic Growth Factor on Resumption of Meiosis, In Vitro Maturation And Embryo Development of Immature Mouse Oocytes
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of fibroblastic growth factor on resumption of meiosis, in vitro maturation of immature mouse oocytes and resulting embryo development with and without basic fibroblastic growth factor-4 (bFGF-4). Materials and Methods: cumulus – oocyte complex (COCs) and germinal vesicle (GV) were obtained from female NMRI mice 46-48 hours after adm...
متن کاملFollicular fluid the best medium of Maturation, fertilization and development of immature oocytes
Introduction: In vitro maturation and development of immature oocytes, as an artificial reproduction technique, is useful especially in women who are affected by cancer and polycystic ovary syndrome. Despite using many types of in vitro media, an appropriate environment has not been reported yet. Present study was designed to assess the effect of heated human follicular fluid (hHFF), which is s...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop an appropriate medium for in vitro maturation (IVM) of immature mouse oocytes. Materials and Methods: Germinal vesicle of female NMRI mouse oocytes (6-8 weeks old) were collected from ovaries and cultured in maturation medium MEM-a, supplemented with: 100 mlIU/ml rFSH+7.5 IU/ml hCG+5% FCS (Control group) and 2mM all- trans retinoic acid (t-RA) ...
متن کاملP-118: Effect of Vitrification on Developmental Competence of Parthenogenetic Activation in In Vitro Matured Ovine Oocytes
Background: Cryopreservation of in vitro matured oocytes is a useful technique because the oocytes can be used for some assisted reproductive technologies. On the other hand, the cryopreservation of oocytes is an open problem as a result of their structural sensitivity to the freezing process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitrification on in vitro development of vitri...
