Expression of myostatin (MSTN, also known as growth differentiation factor 8, GDF8) was
recently detected in cumulus-oocytes complexes (COCs), however little is known about its …

Sheep are important livestock and a source of milk, meat, and wool globally. The increasing
demand for animal protein requires increased productivity in sheep. In vitro fertilization and …

The main objective of the current study was to investigate the effect of Curcacycline A and B
against heat stress induced apoptosis. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were allocated …

In vitro maturation (IVM) is a first and crucial step to determine the success of in vitro embryo
production. L-carnitine enhances lipid metabolism in cells and exerts antioxidant effects as …

The competence of pre-pubertal buffalo heifers' oocytes for in vitro maturation, fertilization
and development were studied and compared with that of the adult buffalo oocytes. Ovaries …

The present study was undertaken to investigate the possible stimulating effects of Nigella

In vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures performed on oocytes
obtained from slaughter–house derived ovaries have recently provided a practical means for …

This study was carried out to synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by using
Silybummarianum fruit extract which is very simple and eco-friendly method. The separation …

Oocyte quality is one of the main determinants of in vitro embryo production success in
domestic animal species. Recently, different approaches have been applied for analyzing …
