The developing fetus requires substantial amounts of fatty acids to support rapid cellular
growth and activity. Although the fatty acid composition delivered to the fetus is largely …

Oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) is an important reproductive technology that generates
mature oocytes that are capable of supporting preimplantation embryo development and full …

BACKGROUND Oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) reduces the need for gonadotrophin-
induced ovarian hyperstimulation and its associated health risks but the unacceptably low …

BACKGROUND Fertility loss during female ageing is associated with increasing basal FSH
and decreasing anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations, together with compromised …

Abstract Linoleic acid (LA; 18: 2 n-6) is the most abundant fatty acid in bovine follicular fluid,
and it was previously reported that LA concentration significantly decreases when follicle …

Oocyte development is characterized by impressive changes in chromatin structure and
function in the germinal vesicle (GV) that are crucial in conferring to the oocyte meiotic and …

BACKGROUND While oocyte IVM is practiced sporadically it has not achieved widespread
clinical practice globally. However, recently there have been some seminal advances in our …

Oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) has become a valuable technological tool for animal
breeding and cloning and the treatment of human infertility because it does not require the …

(1) Background: The binding sites of melatonin, as a multifunctional molecule, have been
identified in human, porcine, and bovine samples. However, the binding sites and …

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids can influence reproductive performance. In dairy cattle,
some high-fat diets resulted in higher blastocyst rates and improved embryo quality. These …
