At estrus, the oviduct undergoes endocrine-induced changes which provide an essential
microenvironment for maturation of gametes, fertilization and embryonic development …

This study documents a molecular change in the murine ovum related to its exposure to
oviductal fluid. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) identifies a 215-kDa glycoprotein band …

We have previously localized an antigen of oviductal origin in the zona pellucida of
superovulated hamster ova. This antigen is a high-molecular-weight glycoprotein that is …

Various growth factors and proteins produced by oviductal cells have been demonstrated to
interact with developing embryos. However, little is known concerning the function of …

Secretions of the endometrium are vital for peri-implantation growth and development of the
sheep conceptus. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present in the uterine lumen, emanate …

Despite its fairly simple appearance, the pig oviduct iswhere essential reproductive
processes occur, including the preparation of gametes for fertilization, fertilization and the …

During late follicular growth, oestrus, fertilization and early embryonic development, the
oviduct, under specific hormonal control, produces fluid and contributes secretory …

The possibility that differences in hormonal regimes between the two oviducts in the cow
around ovulation affects secretory activity of the oviduct epithelial cells and/or sperm–oviduct …

Fertilization and development of mouse embryos occur in the ampullae of oviduct. Various
growth factors and embryotrophic factors produced by the oviductal cells have been …

A block to polyspermy is required for successful fertilisation and embryo survival in
mammals. A higher incidence of polyspermy is observed during in vitro fertilisation (IVF) …
