Follicular fluid content and oocyte quality: from single biochemical markers to metabolomics

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2009
The assessment of oocyte quality in human in vitro fertilization (IVF) is getting increasing attention from embryologists. Oocyte selection and the identification of the best oocytes, in fact, would help to limit embryo overproduction and to improve the ...

Managing sexual receptivity and ovulation induction in rabbit does: evidence from recent research

World Rabbit Science, 2023
The sexual receptivity and ovulation induction of the reproductive rabbit are key points determining their success in productive life. Adequate synchronisation of the sexual receptivity methods of inseminated rabbit does unquestionably favours fertility ...

Zinc Exposure Causes Disulfidptosis to Induce Miscarriage by Up‐Regulating GATA1/METTL1/SLC7A11 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zn exposure up‐regulates GATA1, promoting GATA1‐mediated METTL1 and SLC7A11 transcription. It also enhances METTL1‐mediated m7G modification on SLC7A11 mRNA, increasing SLC7A11 mRNA stability. Ultimately, Zn exposure up‐regulates SLC7A11 at both transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels, causing disulfidptosis. Knockdown of murine Slc7a11, Gata1,

Identification of optimal assisted aspiration conditions of oocytes for use in porcine in vitro maturation: a re-evaluation of the relationship between the cumulus oocyte complex and oocyte quality [PDF]

, 2020
The quality of porcine oocytes for use in IVF is commonly graded according to the number of layers of cumulus cells surrounding the oocyte; together these form the cumulus oocyte complex (COC).

Functional Analysis of Ligand‐Gated Chloride Channels in a Cnidarian Sheds Light on the Evolution of Inhibitory Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We uncover a large variety of putative inhibitory ligand‐gated ion channels (LGICs) in the phylum Cnidaria, the sister group to all bilaterian animals. Phylogenetic analysis suggests a complex evolutionary history of inhibitory LGICs with diverse neurotransmitter ligands.

A physiological approach for supporting oocyte-cumulus cell communication and chromatin remodelling at meiotic resumption [PDF]

, 2016
In vitro embryo production (IVP) remains inefficient in both clinical applications of human reproduction and animal breeding and the development of pre-maturation strategies to improve IVP is a mayor challenge in assisted reproductive technologies.

PSMA8‐Containing 20S Proteasome Regulates Spermiogenesis and Male Fertility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PSMA8 assembles s20S proteasome that degrades specific substrates in elongating spermatids. Degradation of s20S‐substrates activates translation of FXR1‐target mRNAs, which are essential for mitochondrial sheath formation and sperm morphogenesis.

Oocyte-derived forms of ruminant BMP15 and GDF9 and a theoretical model to explain their synergistic response

, 2016
Bone morphogenetic factor 15 (BMP15) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) are two oocyte-secreted factors with well documented effects on ovarian follicular development and ovulation-rate.

The Effect of the Follicle Size and Follicle Number Per Ovary on Oocyte Quality of Local Goat

Jurnal Kedokteran Hewan, 2007
This research was aimed to find out the relationship between the diameter of follicle and the different of follicle number on oocyte quality of local goat. The oocyte originated from the ovary was taken from the Slaughterhouse in Banda Aceh.

Dose‐Dependent Reprogramming of Chromatin Accessibility by SOX4 Drives the Transcriptional Response to Iron Overload

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that iron overload triggers widespread chromatin compaction and transcriptional repression in human granulosa cells, recapitulating features of endometriosis. The epigenetic reprogramming is orchestrated by a TFEB‐SOX4‐SWI/SNF axis, with SOX4 acting as a central, dosage‐sensitive regulator.
