The main problem in dairy herds is reproductive disorders, which are influenced by many
factors, including temperature. Heat stress reduces the quality of oocytes and their …

Autophagy is a physiological mechanism that can be activated under stress conditions.
However, the role of autophagy during oocyte maturation has been poorly investigated …

Extreme temperature during summer may lead to heat stress in cattle and compromise their
productivity. It also poses detrimental impacts on the developmental capacity of bovine …

Global warming is considered as the main environmental stress affecting ecosystems as
well as physiological and biochemical characteristics, and survivability of living organisms …

This paper aims to identify and describe new genetic markers involved in the processes of
protein expression and modification reflected in the change of mitochondrial activity before …

Background Heat stress (HS) occurs when body heat accumulation exceeds heat
dissipation and is associated with swine seasonal infertility. HS contributes to compromised …

Higher air temperature in summer causes a significant reduction in fertility in cattle. Increase
in female body temperature during the period of reproduction by only 2EC, also known as …

Hyperthermia or heat stress (HS) occurs when heat dissipation mechanisms are
overwhelmed by external and internal heat production. Hyperthermia negatively affects …

The objective of this research was to clarify the aging-related changes in in vitro-matured
bovine oocytes. Firstly, we examined the fertilization and embryonic development of bovine …

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects on the nuclear maturation and
subsequent embryonic development of bovine oocytes exposed to heat stress (HS) when …
