Absorption at the level of the intestine is likely a primary regulatory mechanism for the
deposition of dietary supplemented folic acid into the chicken egg. Therefore, factors …

This study aimed to investigate the effects of eugenol on growth, viability, antrum formation
and mRNA expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione …

The oviduct is a key organ responsible for ultimate oocytes maturation, transport of gametes,
sperm capacitation, fertilization, as well as early embryo development. Its innermost layer …

The objective of this study was to determine how alterations in intracellular thiol levels of
oviduct epithelium occur in response to chemical or environmental conditions that could …

Background Estradiol (E2) receptors mediate E2 effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis
under normal and pathological conditions. However, the mechanisms involved in E2 …

Oviductal functions have been studied mainly in primary epithelial cell culture and organ
culture. However, secretory cells and ciliated cells coexist in the epithelium, and the small …

Objective: This study explored differentially expressed genes in small luteum cells (SLCs)
and theca cells (TCs) of cattle ovary and screened genes related to TCs lutealization to …

Folate, a cofactor for the supply of one‐carbon groups, is required by epigenetic processes
to regulate cell lineage determination during development. The intake of folic acid (FA), the …

The use of somatic cells for coculture with embryos has been amply investigated to study
embryo maternal interactions. The use of bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOEC) has been …

We observed that in vitro transcriptomic response of bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOEC)
to the early embryo could be the result of a contact-dependent signalling effect or …
