Disparate consequences of heat stress exposure during meiotic maturation: embryo development after chemical activation vs fertilization of bovine oocytes
12 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Consequences of heat stress exposure during the first 12 h of meiotic maturation differed depending on how and when bovine oocytes were activated. If heat-stressed oocytes underwent IVF at ~24 h, blastocyst development was less than for respective controls and similar to that obtained for nonheat-stressed oocytes undergoing IVF at 30 h (i.e. slightly aged). In contrast, if heat-stressed oocytes underwent chemical...
