This study evaluated the in vitro development and maturation of ovine oocytes from secondary follicles cultured in serum-free medium containing fixed or sequential concentrations of recombinant human FSH (rhFSH). Follicles were cultured in α-MEM alon...
The present study aimed to assess LH effects on in vitro maturation (IVM) and apoptosis and also to explore the gene expressions of LHR and FSHR in cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) of the sheep. COCs were in vitro matured 24h in the IVM medium supplem...
The aims of this study were: (1) to evaluate the effect of different insulin concentrations, alone or in combination with either a fixed FSH concentration or increasing FSH concentrations on the in vitro culture of isolated caprine preantral follicle...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of three concentrations of anethole (30, 300, and 2000 μg/mL) on survival, antrum formation, follicular diameter, and oocyte maturation in the caprine species. The study also evaluated the effects o...
The effect of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on apoptotic status of cumulus cells, expression of proapoptotic and antiapoptotic genes, and development rate of in vitro fertilization-produced buffalo embryos were investigated. FSH supplementation ...

The success rate of bovine in vitro embryo reproduction is low and highly dependent on the oocyte quality. The selection of the oocyte to be fertilized is done by the embryologists' visual examination of oocytes. It is time-consuming, subjective, and...
