Decreased Inner Cell Mass Proportion in Blastocysts From Diabetic Rats
1 Apr 1990
Abstract excerpt
Late morulae and blastocysts were recovered from streptozocin-induced diabetic pregnant rats and individually examined for numbers of inner cell mass (ICM) cells and trophectoderm (TE) cells. Compared with embryos collected from control rats, exposure to maternal diabetes significantly decreased mean ICM cell number of blastocysts recovered on day 5 of gestation, but the TE population of these embryos remained...
