Growth hormone (GH) has been used as a co-gonadotrophin in assisted reproduction,
particularly in poor ovarian responders. The application of GH has been alleged to activate …

Increasing the success rate of in vitro maturation (IVM) for human oocytes has a major
clinical significance. Previous studies have shown that growth hormone (GH) added into IVM …

Simple Summary Oxidatively stressed sperm can fertilise oocytes and, hence, transfer its
damaged genome to a progeny. Sperm cannot repair its own genome, therefore the oocyte's …

Brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) is a super‐vital stain that has been used to select competent
oocytes in different species. One objective of the present study was to assess the …

The in vitro maturation (IVM) efficiency of porcine embryos is still low because of poor oocyte
quality. Although brilliant cresyl blue positive (BCB+) oocytes with low glucose-6-phosphate …

The objectives of the present studies were to investigate the developmental capacity of
dromedary camel oocytes selected by brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) staining and to investigate …

Rabbits play an important role in people's lives due to their high nutritional value and high-
quality hair that can be used as raw material for textiles. Furthermore, rabbits are an …

Preeclampsia is triggered by an as yet unknown toxin from the placenta. Antiphospholipid
antibodies (aPL), a strong risk factor for preeclampsia, have been shown to induce the …

The technique of oocyte vitrification remains a challenge in most animal species. The
present study aimed to evaluate the effects of cumulus cell presence and L‐carnitine (LC) …

The relevance of low developmental competence of in vitro-matured oocyte to the
incomplete/delayed cytoplasmic maturation, and the heterogeneity of retrieved oocytes is …
