Abstract:Prepubertal bovine females have been suggested as a source of oocytes in order to accelerate genetic gain and decrease the generation interval. However, prepubertal oocytes have a lower developmental competence than their adult counterparts. In vitro maturation (IVM) systems using cyclic AMP (cAMP) regulators and 30-h culture have been suggested to improve blastocyst in vitro production rates from bovine oocytes (Albuz et al., 2010). The present study evaluated the effects of an addition of the cAMP modulators… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
