Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor Promotes Glucose Transport and Blastomere Viability in Murine Preimplantation Embryos1
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) secretion from epithelial cells lining the female reproductive tract is induced during early pregnancy by ovarian steroid hormones and constituents of seminal plasma. In this study we have investigated the influence of GM-CSF on development of preimplantation mouse embryos. Blastocyst-stage embryos were found to specifically bind (125)I-GM-CSF and analysis...
