The first cell differentiation event that occurs in the embryo determines the inner cell mass
(ICM) and the trophectoderm (TE). In the mouse, glucose (GLC) is essential for this process …

Noninvasive measurements of bovine embryo quality, such as timing of cleavage, morula
morphology, blastocyst formation, and hatching ability, were linked with the number of inner …

In mammalian embryos, the first visible differentiation event is the segregation of the inner
cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) during the transition from the morula to the …

Various oxygen tensions are employed for in vitro embryo production. Since it is known that
oxygen tension can influence the efficiency of embryo production and embryo quality, the …

A novel approach using a 2-step culture system was utilized to determine the minimal
energy substrate requirements for early bovine embryo development in vitro. Bovine …

Various factors, such as quality of the oocyte, oxygen tension, embryo density, and kind of
energy substrate during in vitro production of embryos may affect the rate of preimplantation …

The prevalence of metabolic diseases is increasing, leading to more women entering
pregnancy with alterations in the glucose-insulin axis. The aim of this work was to …

Blastocyst development, total cell number and allocation to inner cell mass (ICM) and
trophectoderm (TE) lineages was compared among day 9 hatched blastocysts from four …

Recent progress, briefly reviewed here, has led to utility of bovine in vitro oocyte maturation
(IVM), in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo culture and embryo transfer (ET) technologies in …

The objectives of this research were to study the influence of a reduced oxygen
concentration during in vitro maturation (IVM) and examine the effect of follicular glucose …
