The oviduct plays many roles in the embryo formation, as gametes final maturation and
transport, fertilization process, embryo transport, and embryo early development. However …

Contents This review highlights the role of the oviduct in early embryo development, which
has to fulfil many aligned and well‐tuned tasks during early embryogenesis. The oviductal …

Abstract Background and Aim: The oviduct environment is of particular importance because
it is the site of fertilization and early embryo development. The oviduct, as a component of …

The oviduct is involved in many reproductive functions, including early embryo development.
The epithelial cells that cover the oviduct produce oviducal fluid and could be used to …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of presence of corpus luteum (CL) at the
onset of timed AI (TAI) protocol, size of ovulatory follicle and oestrus expression on …

Beyond being a pipe between ovary and uterus, the oviduct is an active player in different
aspects of early reproductive processes, in particular in the transport of embryos to the site of …

Contents There are convincing arguments to suggest that the success of early reproductive
events is reliant on a satisfactory dialogue between gametes–embryo and the oviduct …

In cattle, the oviduct plays a fundamental role in the reproductive process. Oviductal
functions are controlled by the ovarian sex steroids: estradiol and progesterone. Here, we …

In the bovine oviduct, estradiol (E2) stimulates secretion and cell proliferation, whereas
progesterone (P4) suppresses them. In this study, we have evaluated the effect of two …

Most in vitro models of oviduct epithelial cells (OEC) used thus far to gain insights into
embryo–maternal communication induce cell dedifferentiation or are technically …
