Purpose Oocyte maturation is a complex process involving nuclear and cytoplasmic
modulations, during which oocytes acquire their ability to become fertilized and support …

Background: The use of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) combined with cysteamine during
pre-in vitro maturation (IVM) can help establish an effective pre-IVM system. Aims: This study …

Simple Summary Oocyte in vitro maturation has massive potential for the generation of great
numbers of embryos for research and for the application of assisted reproductive …

During the last 10 to 15 yr, in vitro research to predict antral follicle growth and oocyte
maturation has delivered interesting advances in the knowledge of processes regulating …

Background Exposure of oocytes to the endometrioma fluid has an adverse effect on
embryonic quality. To determine whether adding transferrin and antioxidants to culture …

Although in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes is important for assisted reproduction, the rate
of development of embryos from IVM oocytes is lower than from their in vivo counterparts. It …

Improved oocyte competence for embryo development and pregnancy was observed
following ovulation of preovulatory follicles with greater physiological maturity, as indicated …

Purpose The aim of this study is to compare the sensitivity of the standard one-cell mouse
embryo assay (MEA) to that using in vitro-matured oocytes from hybrid and outbred mice …

Offspring born to obese and diabetic mothers are prone to metabolic diseases, a phenotype
that has been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in …

This study aimed to test the effects of an IVM SPOM adaptation (SPOM-adapted IVM) on the
