Follicular size affects the meiotic competence of in vitro matured prepubertal and adult oocytes in sheep [PDF]
, 1999 Non-atretic follicles dissected from prepubertal and adult ovaries were allocated in three groups: a) < 1 mm; b) 1-2 mm; c) > 2 mm. After 24 h of maturation, a lower percentage of adult oocytes from group a (P < 0.01) reached metaphase II than ...

Cell ReportsSummary: Embryonic genome activation (EGA) marks the transition from dependence on maternal transcripts to an embryonic transcriptional program. The precise temporal regulation of gene expression, specifically the silencing of the Dux/murine endogenous ...

Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, 2023 Objective Endometriosis causes a decrease in oocyte quality. However, this mechanism is not fully understood. The present study aimed to analyze the effect of endometriosis on cumulus cell adenosine triphosphate ATP level, the number of mitochondria, and

Oocyte-secreted factors enhance oocyte developmental competence
Developmental Biology, 2006 The capacity of fully grown oocytes to regulate their own microenvironment by paracrine factors secreted by the oocyte (oocyte-secreted factors, OSFs) may in turn contribute to oocyte developmental competence. Here, we investigated if OSFs have a direct influence on oocyte developmental competence during in vitro maturation (IVM). Bovine cumulus-oocyte

Effect of Oocyte Vitrification Before and After in Vitro Maturation Towards Bcl-2, Bax and Bcl-2/Bax Ratio Expression [PDF]
, 2016 Objectives: to compare the expression of Bcl-2, Bax and Bcl-2/Bax ratio in cumulus cell and oocyte between vitrified oocyte pre and post in vitro maturation.Materials and Methods: Maturation was operated in medium TC 100 µl for 24 hours.

Human embryos from overweight and obese women display phenotypic and metabolic abnormalities [PDF]
, 2014 STUDY QUESTION Is the developmental timing and metabolic regulation disrupted in embryos from overweight or obese women? SUMMARY ANSWER Oocytes from overweight or obese women are smaller than those from women of healthy weight, yet post-fertilization ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Glycolytic metabolites are critical modulators of oocyte maturation and viability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The maturation of an oocyte into an egg is a key step in preparation for fertilization. In Xenopus, oocyte maturation is independent of transcription, being regulated at the level of translation and post-translational modifications of proteins.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Mouse pre‐implantation development involves a transition from totipotency to pluripotency. Integrating transcriptomics, epigenetic profiling, low‐input proteomics and functional assays, we show that eight‐cell embryos retain residual totipotency features, whereas cytoskeletal remodeling regulated by the ubiquitin‐proteasome system drives progression ...
