Nobiletin is a polymethoxylated flavonoid isolated from citrus fruits with wide biological
effects, including inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cell cycle …

This study is to investigate whether astaxanthin could alleviate the oxidative stress damages
of follicles induced by BPA and improve the development of the cultured follicles and …

Early antral follicles (EAFs) represent the transitional stage between pre-antral and antral
follicles, containing oocytes that have completed most of their growth phase. Therefore, they …

Mitochondrial numbers increase during oocyte growth. In this study, we collected oocytes
and granulosa cell complexes (OGCs) from early antral follicles (EAFs) of aged cows (> 120 …

In brief The proposed culture system improves the current state of in vitro culture of growing
oocytes in the bovine species and allows access to the untapped gamete reserve, thus …

The cytochrome P450 family 19 subfamily A member 1 (CYP19A1) gene, encodes
aromatase, a key enzyme in estradiol (E2) synthesis, and is down-regulated during porcine …

In dairy cows, low fertility caused by summer heat stress continues into the cooler autumn
season. This can be caused by impaired oocyte quality in small growing follicles during …

Background The antral follicle count (AFC) in mammalian ovaries positively correlates with
female fertility. To clarify the causes of differences in fertility between low and high AFC …

Bovine ovaries offer a large pool of oocytes that could be used for in vitro production of
embryos of genetically valuable animals. The effects of in vitro growth (IVG) culture duration …

Gonadal white adipose tissue (gWAT) can regulate gametogenesis via modulation of
neuroendocrine signaling. However, the effect of gWAT on the local microenvironment of the …
