The pig is an important livestock animal. Biotechnological interest in this species has
increased due to its use, among others, in the generation of transgenic animals for use in …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediated intracellular communication plays an imperative role
in the proper completion of different physiological events. Most of the bio-fluids are enriched …

Once in the female reproductive tract, spermatozoa undergo several modifications to acquire
their complete fertilizing ability. Interactions between the oviductal fluid (OF) and gametes …

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 …

Oviductal extracellular vesicles (oEVs) have been identified as important components of the
oviductal fluid (OF) and have been pointed to as key modulators of gamete/embryo-maternal …

In order to mimic the maternal oviductal environment, we evaluated the effect of oviductal
fluid (OF) and/or uterine fluid (UF) supplementation on in vitro embryo development and …

This review presents the latest advances in and main obstacles to the application of in vitro
embryo production (IVEP) systems in small ruminants. This biotechnology is an extremely …

The beneficial effect of antioxidant supplementation in maturation culture media of sow
oocytes was evaluated by the expression quantification of apoptotic genes and the genes …

Recent evidence supports involvement of the acute phase protein haptoglobin in numerous
events during mammalian reproduction. The present study represents an in-depth …

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 …
