The oocyte achieves its developmental competence through the lengthy process of
folliculogenesis. It can therefore potentially be exposed to various stressors while enclosed …

Heat stress is an environmental factor that challenges livestock by disturbing animal
homeostasis. Despite the broad detrimental effects of heat stress on reproductive function …

The potential applications of in vitro-produced (IVP) cattle embryos are significantly
enhanced when combined with genotype selection and cryopreservation techniques. While …

The potential of using long in vitro culture (LIVC) of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) from
early antral follicles (EAFs) as an assisted reproductive technology in cattle has shown …

Cryopreservation is a process in which the intact living cells, tissues, or embryos are
preserved at subzero temperatures for preservation. The cryopreservation process highly …

Introduction One of the most evolutionary conserved communication systems, the Wnt
signaling pathway is a major gene regulatory pathway that affects the developmental …

To investigate the effects of physiologically relevant heat shock during oocyte maturation,
buffalo cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs) were cultured at 38.5° C (control) or were …

Under natural and well-managed conditions, the buffalo has good reproductive and
productive indices. However, in vitro embryo production (IVEP) has been used commercially …

Supplementation of maturation media with antioxidant (bulk form) improves oocyte
maturation. However, the influence of adding antioxidant (nano-particles) on oocyte …

Background Resveratrol, a potent antioxidant, is known to induce the up-regulation of the
internal antioxidant system. Therefore, it holds promise as a method to mitigate …
