Effects on in vitro embryo development and intracellular glutathione content of the presence of thiol compounds during maturation of prepubertal goat oocytes
26 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
The low number of embryos produced from in vitro matured, fertilized, and cultured (IVM-IVF-IVC) oocytes of prepubertal goat is mainly due to a low incidence of sperm head decondensation at fertilization (Martino et al., 1995: Theriogenology 43:473-485; Mogas et al., 1997: Theriogenology 48:815-829). Thiol compounds stimulate glutathione (GSH) synthesis and improve the rates of male pronucleus (MPN) formation and...
