PURPOSE To assess the role of hypoxia in causing the death and deconstruction of photoreceptors in detached retinas and the effectiveness of supplemental oxygen in limiting such damage. METHODS Retinal detachment was induced surgically in the right eye of each of 10 cats. The cats were allowed to survive surgery for 3 days. Two were kept for these 3 days in normoxia (room air, 21% oxygen) and...

In this study, a dose-response assessment was performed to understand the relation between supplementation of media with L-ascorbic acid or vitamin C and porcine oocyte maturation and the in vitro development of parthenotes (PA) and handmade cloned (HMC) embryos. Various concentrations (0, 25, 50 and 100 μg/ml) of vitamin C supplemented in in vitro maturation (IVM) and culture (IVC) media were ...
