Oviduct cells produce a favorable environment for the development of gametes by
generating multiple growth factors. Particularly, in canine species, immature oocytes …

Melatonin and Nrf2 signaling synergistically improve mammalian oocyte maturation and
embryonic development. Furthermore, previous studies have suggested an interplay …

Current studies indicate that application of oviduct cells (OCs) in in vitro system create
microenvironment similar to the in vivo conditions by releasing multiple growth factors which …

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinological disorders
affecting between 6 to 20% of reproductive aged women. However, the etiology of PCOS is …

An essential requirement for the success of in vitro maturation (IVM) of the oocyte is to
provide an optimal microenvironment similar to in vivo conditions. Recently, somatic cell …

After mammalian ovulation, oocytes enter the oviduct, causing oocyte and oviduct changes.
Some studies have shown that follicular fluid exosomes (FEVs) play an important role in this …

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is one of the important regulatory factors of EGF family. EGF
has been indicated to effectively inhibit the apoptosis of follicular cells, to promote the …

Lipid metabolism plays an important role in oocyte maturation. The peroxisome is the
fundamental mediator for this mechanism. In this study, we investigated the peroxisomal …

Simple Summary Melatonin improves the quality and in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes
under heat stress. Melatonin treatment counteracts the adverse effects induced by heat …

Oviductal epithelial cells (OECs) actively produce stimulating and protecting factors, favoring
survival and viability of gametes and early embryos. The oviduct participates in the initial …
