Mouse zygotes from a strain combination which fails to undergo cleavage in vitro (the 2-cell
block) were cultured in a variety of media, using either tow (5%) or normal (20%) oxygen …

Blastocyst culture requires strictly defined culture media to sustain its viability and quality.
Although blastocyst media are commercially available, they do not meet all the needs and …

The relative levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) have been measured fluorimetrically in
individual eggs and early embryos from two mouse strains, one of which shows …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether mouse embryos at the two-cell to
blastocyst stage have the capacity to reduce glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and to elucidate …

Embryos are routinely cultured individually, although this can reduce blastocyst
development. Culture in atmospheric (20%) oxygen is also common, despite multiple …

Analysis over the first 48 h of development in vitro from the one-cell stage to the early four-
cell stage indicated that (i) ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) exerts the major …

The objective was to determine optimal concentrations of α-tocopherol and l-ascorbic acid
for development of porcine embryos derived from in vitro-fertilization (IVF) or somatic cell …

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effect of protein supplementation of culture media on reactive
oxygen species production and incidence of apoptosis in preimplantation mouse embryos …

In vitro maturation (IVM) is emerging as a popular technology at the forefront of fertility
treatment and preservation. However, standard in vitro culture (IVC) conditions usually …

The present study assessed the effects of supplementation of different antioxidants on
oocyte maturation, embryo production, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and …
