Since cAMP blocks meiotic maturation of mammalian and amphibian oocytes in vitro and
cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) is primarily responsible for oocyte cAMP …

Although it is well established that maturation conditions have a clear influence on oocyte
developmental competence, it is not known whether this could be due to downstream effects …

With the evolution of the treatment of malignant neoplasms, the survival rates of patients
undergoing chemo‐or radiotherapy are increasing. The continuous development of …

The available evidence points to participation of PRL in regulation of mammalian oocyte
maturation. The aim of the present study was to characterize pathways of PRL action on …

Supplementation of in-vitro maturation medium with reagents that inhibit meiotic resumption
whilst supporting normal function of cumulus cell–oocyte complexes (COC) is challenging …

This study aims to evaluate if a pre-maturation culture (PMC) using cilostamide as a meiotic
inhibitor in combination with insulin, transferrin and selenium (ITS) for 8 or 24 h increases in …

The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the developmental competence of
buffalo denuded oocytes (DOs) cocultured with cumulus cells (CCs) during in vitro …

The present study was conducted to assess effects of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone
agonist (GnRHa) triptorelin in dairy heifers. The peptide was released from a commercial 4 …

Bovine in-vitro production (IVP) of embryos is a growing field for producing offspring with
desirable genetics in the cattle industries. While IVP is effective, oocyte cytoplasmic …

There is a world-wide trend of increasing sub-fertility in dairy cows whereby the time interval
between the planned dates of mating and successful conception is increasing. This interval …
