Materials and Methods: Oviducts were obtained from healthy slaughterhouse animals,
corresponding to ipsilateral ovaries with dominant follicles or corpus luteum during early and …

Background Reproductive success depends on a functional oviduct for gamete storage,
maturation, fertilization, and early embryonic development. The ovarian-derived steroids …

Evidence indicates that high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) may originate from
lesions within the distal fallopian tube epithelium (FTE). Our previous studies indicate that …

The process of reproduction requires several factors, leading to successful fertilization of an
oocyte by a single spermatozoon. One of them is the complete maturity of an oocyte, which …

The effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) concentrations (0, 10, 50, and 100 ng/ml) on in
vitro culture (IVC) of equine preantral follicles were evaluated using histology, estradiol and …

Genistein is one of the most abundant isoflavones in soybean. This molecule induces cell
cycle arrest and apoptosis in different normal and cancer cells. Genistein has been of …

Large ovarian follicles are primary characteristics of oviparous species. The development of
such follicles is crucially governed by strict intrinsic complex regulation. Many aspects of the …

Folic acid had been reported to develop much metabolic regulation function in animals and
human beings due to its roles in one carbon metabolism. The current study was conducted …

During its journey through the oviduct, the bovine embryo may induce transcriptomic and
metabolic responses, via direct or indirect contact, from bovine oviduct epithelial cells …

OBJECTIVE: Despite of the potential contribution to the animal biotechnology and human
health, porcine in vitro maturation (IVM) system has several problems including low …
