The antioxidant capacity of Mito-TEMPO improves the preimplantation development and viability of vitrified-warmed blastocysts through the stabilization of F-actin morphological aspects in bovine embryos

Abstract

Embryos produced in vitro are lower in quality than those produced in vivo (Mahdavinezhad et al., 2019). Fur-thermore, the reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by antioxidants in germ cells could improve their developmental potential until blastocyst (Aitken, 2020). The deficiency of antioxidant capacity within the follicle de-
