Presence of epidermal growth factor during in vitro maturation of pig oocytes and embryo culture can modulate blastocyst development after in vitro fertilization
1998-12-01
Abstract excerpt
The present study examined the effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) during in vitro maturation (IVM) and embryo culture on blastocyst development in the pig. In experiment 1, cumulus oocyte complexes were cultured in North Carolina State University (NCSU) 23 medium containing porcine follicular fluid, cysteine, hormonal supplements, and with or without EGF (0–40 ng/ml) for 20–22 hr. They then were cultured for...
