Increased apoptosis in bovine blastocysts exposed to high levels of IGF1 is not associated with downregulation of the IGF1 receptor
6 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
The hypothesis that high concentrations of IGF1 can impair embryo development was investigated in a bovine in vitro model to reflect conditions in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients. Embryos were either cultured in the absence or presence of a physiological (100 ng/ml) or supraphysiological (1000 ng/ml) IGF1 concentration. Cell allocation, apoptosis, transcript and protein expression of selected genes...
