Post-warming quality of goat oocytes under heat shock stress: A study of the maturation rate, heat shock protein-70, adenosine triphosphate, and glutathione levels [PDF]
Background and Aim: Indonesia’s indigenous Kacang goat population is in decline, posing a threat to food security and genetic diversity. In vitro maturation and cryopreservation techniques are key strategies for genetic conservation.

ABSTRACT The Homologous Recombination Factor With OB‐Fold (HROB) plays a role in homologous recombination and DNA replication, where it enhances the MCM8‐MCM9 helicase complex activity. Recent findings link biallelic germline HROB variants to primary gonadal insufficiency (hypergonadotropic hypogonadism), a phenotype also associated with MCM8/MCM9 ...

Effect of blood plasma collected after adrenocorticotropic hormone administration during the preovulatory period in the sow on oocyte in vitro maturation [PDF]
Reproduction may be affected by stressful events changing the female endocrine or metabolic profile. An altered environment during oocyte development could influence the delicate process of oocyte maturation. Here, the effect of simulated stress by media

Growth Differentiation Factor 9 Supplementation Restores the Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Negative Effects on Bovine Oocyte Developmental Competence. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) plays a key role in enhancing developmental competence and blastocyst yield during in vitro maturation (IVM). This study investigated whether GDF9 could counteract the harmful effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a gram‐negative bacterial component, on bovine in vitro embryo production, while also ...
