As one of the most powerful natural antioxidants, astaxanthin (Ax) has begun to be applied
to the field of reproductive biology. Here we used porcine oocyte as a model to explore how …

Astaxanthin, one of the most common carotenoids, elicits antioxidant effects on cellular
viability and embryonic development. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of …

Oxidative stress is partly responsible for the poor quality of IVM oocytes. The present study
investigated the effects of the antioxidant β-cryptoxanthin on the IVM of porcine oocytes and …

treatment during in vitro maturation (IVM) of porcine oocytes on embryonic development …

Cryopreservation of embryos has been confirmed to cause oxidative stress as a factor
responsible for impaired developmental competence. Currently, astaxanthin (Ax) raises …

Zeaxanthin is a common carotenoid, which is a powerful antioxidant that protects against
damage caused by reactive oxygen species. The aim of the present study was to investigate …

Various antioxidants are tested to improve the viability and development of cryopreserved
oocytes, due to their known positive health effects. The aim of this study was to find whether …

This study investigated the antioxidant effects of β-cryptoxanthin (BCX), hesperetin (HES),
