Developmental Consequences of Sexual Dimorphism During Pre‐implantation Embryonic Development

Abstract excerpt

Abnormalities of development potential arising from pre-implantation environment are not limited to in vitro culture (IVC) (for, i.e. in ruminants the large offspring syndrome produced by IVC), they may also be consequence of specific stress conditions experienced in vivo, like maternal diet, toxins, etc. A complex group of mechanisms (gene expression, epigenetic, metabolic, etc.) may operate to link early embryo...
