The present study determined i) the presence of proteins (oviduct-specific glycoprotein,
OVGP1; heat shock protein-70A, HSPA1A; heat shock protein-A8, HSPA8; annexin A1 …

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

In mammals, fertilization and early pre-implantation development occur in the oviduct.
Previous results obtained in our laboratory have identified specific molecules in the oviduct …

This study was conducted to evaluate morphologic differences in pig oocytes matured in
vivo and in vitro, with particular reference to the potential relationship between oocyte …

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

The possibility that differences in hormonal regimes between the two oviducts in the cow
around ovulation affects secretory activity of the oviduct epithelial cells and/or sperm–oviduct …

Despite its fairly simple appearance, the pig oviduct iswhere essential reproductive
processes occur, including the preparation of gametes for fertilization, fertilization and the …

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 …

Oviduct-specific glycoprotein (OGP) displays estrus-associated regional and temporal
differences in expression and localizes to the zona pellucida, perivitelline space, and …

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of oviductal fluid on sperm binding
and fertilization in vitro when either bovine oocytes or both spermatozoa and oocytes are …
