Follicular fluid exosomes act on the bovine oocyte to improve oocyte competence to support development and survival to heat shock
13 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Addition of follicular fluid to oocyte maturation medium can affect cumulus cell function, increase competence of the oocytes to be fertilised and develop to the blastocyst stage and protect the oocyte from heat shock. Here, it was tested whether exosomes in follicular fluid are responsible for the effects of follicular fluid on the function of the cumulus-oocyte complex (COC). This was accomplished by culturing...
