Amino acid metabolism of bovine blastocysts: a biomarker of sex and viability
7 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
The ratio of male/female embryos may be modified by environmental factors such as maternal diet in vivo and the composition of embryo culture media in vitro. We have used amino acid profiling, a noninvasive marker of developmental potential to compare the effect of sex on the metabolism of bovine blastocysts conceived in vivo and in vitro. Blastocysts were incubated individually for 24 hr in a...
