The use of pigs in neuroscience research has increased in the past decade, which has seen
broader recognition of the potential of pigs as an animal for experimental modeling of …

Epigenetic reprogramming plays a pivotal role during embryogenesis, including both
covalent and non-covalent modifications to chromatin. In this study, we investigated the role …

Assisted reproductive technologies in all mammals are critically dependent on the quality of
the oocytes used to produce embryos. For reasons not fully clear, oocytes matured in vitro …

The mitochondrion is explicitly involved in cytoplasmic regulation and is the cell's major
generator of ATP. Our aim was to determine whether mitochondria alone could influence …

Genome editing tools have revolutionized the generation of genetically modified animals
including livestock. In particular, the domestic pig is a proven model of human physiology …

In recent years, progress has been achieved in the production of pig embryos through IVM
and IVF techniques. Cytoplasmic maturation of oocytes has been improved by modifications …

We investigated the effects of resveratrol, a phytoalexin with various pharmacologic
activities, on in vitro maturation (IVM) of porcine oocytes. We investigated intracellular …

In several species, the developmental competence of the oocyte is acquired progressively
during late follicular growth, after the acquisition of the competence to resume and complete …

We report a novel alkaline extractable protein of the sperm head that exclusively resides in
the post-acrosomal sheath region of the perinuclear theca (PT) and is expressed and …

The present study examined the effect of β-mercaptoethanol (BME) during in vitro maturation
(IVM) of pig oocytes on in vitro fertilization (IVF) parameters, intracellular glutathione (GSH) …
