The objective of this study was to determine the effects of fetal calf serum (FCS), non-
essential MEM amino acids, MEM vitamins and insulin on blastocoel formation, expansion …

Porcine embryo development in vitro is relatively inefficient compared to other domestic
species. Currently, a single culture medium (NCSU23) is the standard for porcine in vitro …

The objective of this study was to compare the development of porcine embryos from the 2-
and 4-cell stages to the blastocyst stage after in vivo or in vitro fertilization and in vivo or in …

In this study, the developmental ability and cellular composition of porcine IVF, parthenote
and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos were evaluated following different in vitro …

The effect of replacing 5.5 mM glucose in North Carolina State University (NCSU)-23
medium with 0.5 mM pyruvate/5.0 mM lactate on porcine IVF embryo development was …

The objective of this experiment was to compare the in vitro survival and hatching rates of
OPS-vitrified porcine blastocysts obtained after conventional (three-step dilution) or direct …

We have previously indicated that porcine blastocysts can be produced by in vitro
fertilization (IVF) and culture (IVC) in chemically defined porcine gamete medium (PGM) and …

The effect of glucose supplementation at different times in in vitro culture on the
developmental competence of in vitro produced (IVP) porcine embryos was examined. In …

In order to develop a culture system and recipient cytoplasm that could improve the
developmental competence of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos for successful …

The quality of porcine blastocysts produced in vitro is poor in comparison with those that
develop in vivo. We examined the quality of in vitro‐matured and fertilized (IVM/IVF) oocytes …
