Effects of exogenous hexoses on bovine in vitro fertilized and cloned embryo development: Improved blastocyst formation after glucose replacement with fructose in a serum‐free culture medium
15 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the embryotrophic role of three hexoses (glucose, fructose, and galactose), bovine embryos derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) or in vitro-fertilization (IVF) were cultured in a modified synthetic oviductal fluid (mSOF), which contained either glucose (1.5 or 5.6 mM), fructose (1.5 or 5.6 mM), or galactose (1.5 or 5.6 mM). Compared to 1.5 mM glucose, use of 1.5 mM fructose significantly...
