In vivo, the oviduct provides appropriate microenvironment conditions for monospermic
fertilization and early embryo development. In addition, glycosaminoglycans such as …

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of oviductal fluid and heparin on
sperm penetration and the characteristics of spermatozoa. The addition of oviductal fluid and …

In mammals, fertilization and early pre-implantation development occur in the oviduct.
Previous results obtained in our laboratory have identified specific molecules in the oviduct …

Objective To determine optimal conditions for the inclusion of oviductal fluid (OF) in IVF
protocols. Design Experimental prospective study. Setting Mammalian reproduction …

The present study determined i) the presence of proteins (oviduct-specific glycoprotein,
OVGP1; heat shock protein-70A, HSPA1A; heat shock protein-A8, HSPA8; annexin A1 …

High polyspermy is one of the major limitations of porcine invitro fertilisation (IVF). The
addition of oviductal fluid (OF) during IVF reduces polyspermy without decreasing the …

Sperm storage within the oviductal isthmus prior to ovulation typically involves binding to
oviductal epithelial cells, which are thought to modulate sperm functions including internal …

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of oviductal fluid on sperm binding
and fertilization in vitro when either bovine oocytes or both spermatozoa and oocytes are …

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) has been widely used as a supplement in the maturation medium
of bovine oocytes in vitro. However, serum contains many undefined factors and is …
