It is generally accepted that cumulus cells support the nuclear maturation of mammalian
oocytes. In the present study, we examined relationships between the cytoplasmic …

Glutamine (GLN) is a metabolic precursor for hexosamine synthesis and its inclusion in
culture medium has been reported to improve cumulus expansion. Glutamine and cysteine …

Glutathione (GSH) synthesis during in vitro maturation (IVM) has been shown to play an
important role in embryo development. The present study was carried out to evaluate the …

The beneficial effect of glutathione (GSH) on the in vitro maturation (IVM) of bovine/porcine
oocytes has been confirmed; however, the antioxidant effect of exogenous GSH …

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of cumulus cells on the in vitro
maturation (IVM) and glutathione (GSH) synthesis of porcine oocytes cultured in the …

The present study examined the kinetics of glutathione (GSH) concentration during
maturation and after fertilization in pig oocytes and its relevance to the ability of pig oocytes …

Cysteamine and β-mercaptoethanol supplementation of in vitro maturation (IVM) medium
has been found to increase intracellular glutathione (GSH) content in oocytes and to …

Glutathione (GSH) has been shown to play an important role in embryo development. In a
previous study, we demonstrated that cysteamine supplementation of in vitro maturation …

This study was carried out to examine the kinetics of glutathione (GSH) concentration and
the role of GSH during maturation and after fertilization in bovine oocytes. Immature oocytes …

In this study, we evaluated the effect of different concentrations of cysteine in in vitro
maturation (IVM) medium during IVM under low oxygen tension (5% O2) of porcine oocytes …
