Effects of oviductal fluid on the development, quality, and gene expression of porcine blastocysts produced in vitro
19 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
In mammals, fertilization and early pre-implantation development occur in the oviduct. Previous results obtained in our laboratory have identified specific molecules in the oviduct that affect porcine sperm-egg interactions. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the contact between oocytes and oviductal fluid also affect embryo development, quality, and gene expression. In vitro matured porcine...
