Age-associated changes in gene expression and developmental competence of bovine oocytes, and a possible countermeasure against age-associated events
24 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
In general, maternal age affects the quality of oocytes and embryos. The present study aimed to examine the features and age-associated gene expression profiles of bovine oocytes and embryos as well as to discover possible countermeasures against age-associated events. Comprehensive gene expression assays of germinal vesicle and metaphase II (MII)-stage oocytes and 8- to 16-cell-stage embryos were conducted using...
