High polyspermy is one of the major limitations of porcine invitro fertilisation (IVF). The
addition of oviductal fluid (OF) during IVF reduces polyspermy without decreasing the …

Once in the female reproductive tract, spermatozoa undergo several modifications to acquire
their complete fertilizing ability. Interactions between the oviductal fluid (OF) and gametes …

In vivo, the oviduct provides appropriate microenvironment conditions for monospermic
fertilization and early embryo development. In addition, glycosaminoglycans such as …

Objective To determine optimal conditions for the inclusion of oviductal fluid (OF) in IVF
protocols. Design Experimental prospective study. Setting Mammalian reproduction …

Background In vitro production of bovine embryos is a well-established technology, but the
in vitro culture (IVC) system still warrants improvements, especially regarding embryo …

The oviduct is an important reproductive structure that connects the ovary to the uterus and
takes place to important events such as oocyte final maturation, fertilization and early …

The effects of oviductal fluid on sperm penetration and cortical granule exocytosis in pigs
were examined. Cortical granule exocytosis in oocytes matured in vivo and in vitro was …

In mammals, around the time of ovulation, the hormonal profile dynamically changes in
synchrony with reproductive events occurring in the oviduct, that is, sperm arrival …

The block to polyspermy is not well defined in cattle. While dispersion of and release of the
contents of the cortical granules (CG) occurs there is a high incidence of polyspermy in …

Oviductal extracellular vesicles (oEVs) have been identified as important components of the
oviductal fluid (OF) and have been pointed to as key modulators of gamete/embryo-maternal …
