Abstract:Juvenile in vitro embryo transfer (JIVET) reduces the generation interval and increases the rate of genetic gain. The developmental competence of in vitro-produced embryos is strictly related to oocyte quality. Oxidative stress in the oocyte is an emerging problem in reproductive in vitro technologies, due to the gas atmosphere used to incubate oocytes and the lack of physiological defense mechanisms available in the female reproductive tract. The major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is represented by… 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.
