Effect of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress on Porcine Oocyte Maturation and Parthenogenetic Embryonic Development In Vitro1
22 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1) is an important regulator of a subset of genes active during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In the present study, we analyzed XBP1 level and location to explore the effect of ER stress on oocyte maturation and developmental competency of porcine embryos in an in vitro culture system. First, we examined the localization of XBP1 at different meiotic stages of porcine oocytes and...
