This study evaluated the effect of resveratrol administered at different concentrations (0, 0.1,
0.25, 0.5, 2.0, and 5.0 µM) via in vitro maturation (IVM) medium on cumulus expansion …

During mammalian oogenesis, intercellular communication between oocytes and the
surrounding follicle cells through gap junction channels is crucial for oocyte development …

旨在研究双调蛋白(AREG) 对绵羊小腔卵泡卵母细胞体外成熟(IVM) 的影响.
本研究从屠宰场绵羊卵巢上采集小腔和中腔卵泡的卵母细胞进行试验, 利用自发荧光检测卵母 …

Prostaglandins (PGs) are implicated in various physiological and pathological functions
because of their vasoactive, mitogenic, and differentiating properties. PGs have long been …

Background Heterotopic ovarian transplantation can not only restore the reproductive and
endocrine function of animals but can also be studied with a specialized animal model. The …

Heat stress (HS) affects the development of porcine gametes and embryos negatively,
induces the decrease of reproductive ability significantly, threatens global pig production …

We studied the ability of hyaluronan (HA) to inhibit apoptosis in porcine granulosa cells. The
granulosa layer with cumulus–oocyte complex is cultured in media supplemented with …

Simple Summary The process of mammalian fertilization is dependent on many
mechanisms mediated by regulatory genes and proteins expressed in the gametes and/or …

Oocyte maturation is critical for successful fertilization and pregnancy. The mechanism
underlying the control of this complex process remain relatively unknown, and even more so …

The objective of the present study was to examine the effects of two different transport
temperature (37 C vs 4 C) and cold storage of ovaries for 24 h on cumulus cell apoptosis …
