Epigallocatechin Gallate From Tea Delays Oocyte Aging After Ovulation in Mice
In this study, we find that EGCG delays post‐ovulatory oocyte aging and improves the quality of aged oocytes. EGCG may reduce ROS levels in aged oocytes by the NRF2‐KEAP1 pathway. The embryo developmental potential of aged oocytes is also increased by EGCG. ABSTRACT In clinic, once the ovulated oocytes cannot be fertilized timely, they begin to undergo

ABSTRACT Bovine embryo transfer (ET) has been a consistently growing market worldwide with in vitro produced (IVP) embryos now far outnumbering those produced by traditional superovulation. Because transfer of a viable blastocyst‐stage embryo to the uterus bypasses many of the potential biological causes of early pregnancy failure associated with ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Audience effects in the Atlantic molly (Poecilia mexicana)-prudent male mate choice in response to perceived sperm competition risk? [PDF]
Background Multidirectional interactions in social (or communication) networks can have a profound effect on mate choice behavior. For example, Poecilia mexicana males show weaker expression of mating preferences when being observed by an audience male ...

ABSTRACT Class Switch Recombination (CSR) is essential for generating high‐affinity antibody isotypes from IgM during adaptive humoral responses. Despite well‐established roles for various transcription factors, whether CSR is subject to dedicated post‐transcriptional control represents a significant gap in knowledge.

Follicle size modulates bovine oocyte cytoplasmic maturation during IVM. Oocytes from larger follicles exhibit reduced lipid accumulation, fewer transzonal projections, distinct cumulus cell metabolic signaling, and greater embryo cryosurvival, indicating improved cytoplasmic maturation and lipid regulation despite similar developmental rates ...

Sexual selection in a transparent worm : insights from fluorescent sperm [PDF]
Sexual selection is a potent source of selection underlying the evolution of sexual dimorphism, reproductive strategies and mating systems. Although sexual selection was initially thought to occur exclusively at the pre-copulatory stage (e.g., contests ...

Abstract Background Laparoscopic intrauterine artificial insemination (Lap‐AI) is used in sheep genetic improvement programmes. However, the lambing rate (LR) (i.e., the proportion of inseminated ewes that lamb) following Lap‐AI is variable. Previously, one small UK study investigated factors associated with LR, but it did not adjust for dependencies ...
