The oviduct is a dynamic organ which facilitates gamete function, fertilization and embryo
development. Secretions of the oviduct, recovered by tissue culture or cannulation …

Contents Fertilization encompasses a series of different steps which have to be performed in
a well‐orchestrated way to create a new individual. They include sperm capacitation, sperm …

On ejaculation, sperm become coated with proteins secreted by the male accessory sex
glands. In the bull, these proteins consist predominantly of the bovine seminal plasma family …

The effect of conditioned medium (CM) or microvesicles (MVs), secreted by multicellular
spheroids of oviductal cells, and the involvement of some microRNAs (miRNAs) were …

Interaction of equine spermatozoa with oviductal epithelial cells (OEC) prolongs sperm
viability and maintains low intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+] i) in spermatozoa …

After spermatogenesis, testicular spermatozoa are not able to fertilize an oocyte, they must
undergo sequential maturational processes. Part of these essential processes occurs during …

The present study was conducted to evaluate the function of cumulus cells during bovine
IVF. Oocytes within cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs) or denuded oocytes (DOs) were …

In the cow, a specific glycoprotein‐bovine oviduct‐specific glycoprotein (BOGP)‐is secreted
by the epithelial cells of the oviduct at the follicular stage of the estrous cycle. In this study …

The aim of this study is to identify the effect of cumulus cells removal prior to the in vitro
fertilization of matured bovine oocytes on cleavage rate. Denuded, matured oocytes were …

A study was undertaken to determine the effects of oviductal proteins obtained from various
stages of the estrous cycle on spermatozoa characteristics in buffaloes. Oviducts were …
