Proteins are biomolecules responsible for a vast range of functions within living cells and
tissues. Over 150 different proteins are present in the fluid of the oviduct, where mammalian …

Animal oviducts and human Fallopian tubes are a part of the female reproductive tract that
hosts fertilization and pre-implantation development of the embryo. With an increasing …

Fertilization and development of mouse embryos occur in the oviduct. Accumulating data
suggested that embryo–maternal communication exists in the preimplantation period, with …

Contents The mammalian oviduct is an anatomical part of the female reproductive tract,
which plays several important roles in the events related to fertilization and embryo …

A variety of evolutionary processes has led to the development of different organs to ensure
that internal fertilization occur successfully. Fallopian tubes are a particularly interesting …

During the period of late follicular development and the first four days of the oestrous cycle,
the oviduct occupies a central role in the establishment of pregnancy. Oviductal function is …

The oviduct plays important roles in reproductive events: sperm reservoir formation, final
gamete maturation, fertilization and early embryo development. It is well known that the …

During late follicular development and estrus, the mammalian oviduct undergoes specific
physiological and biochemical modifications which contribute to an optimization of the …

The oviduct is a complex and organized thin tubular structure connecting the ovary with the
uterus. It is the site of final sperm capacitation, oocyte fertilization and, in most species, the …

The oviduct is a dynamic organ which facilitates gamete function, fertilization and embryo
development. Secretions of the oviduct, recovered by tissue culture or cannulation …
