STUDY QUESTION What is the effect of antioxidants acetyl-L-carnitine, N-acetyl-L-cysteine
and α-lipoic acid (A3) in vitrification and warming solutions on mouse blastocyst …

Cryopreservation techniques for mammalian oocytes and embryos have rapidly progressed
during the past two decades, emphasizing their importance in various assisted reproductive …

The impact of vitrification procedures on in vitro matured (IVM) ovine oocytes mRNA content
and ability to undergo successful fertilization, cleavage and embronic development was …

Vitrification and slow freezing are the two commonly used embryo cryopreservation
methods. In most studies, vitrification of intact embryos has proven superior in several …

Contents Vitrification has been shown to decrease the developmental capacity of
mammalian oocytes, and this is closely associated with the abnormal mRNA expressions of …

This study was designed to examine the recovery of mitochondrial function and endogenous
antioxidant systems in vitrified oocytes during extended incubations. After 16 hr of in vitro …

We report the successful cryopreservation of in vitro-produced porcine zygotes. Follicular
oocytes from prepubertal gilts were matured (IVM), fertilized (IVF), and cultured (IVC) in vitro …
