This study was conducted to determine the effects of biophoton treatment during in vitro maturation (IVM) and/or in vitro culture (IVC) on oocyte maturation and embryonic development in pigs. An apparatus capable of generating homogeneous biophoton energy emissions was placed in an incubator. Initially, immature pig oocytes were matured in the biophoton-equipped incubator in medium 199 supplemented with cysteine, epidermal growth factor, insulin, and gonadotrophic hormones for 22 h, after which…

Pig oocytes with a large perivitelline space matured in vitro show greater developmental competence after parthenogenesis and somatic cell nuclear transfer
TLDR
It is demonstrated that pig oocytes with a large PVS have greater developmental competence after parthenogenesis and SCNT, which is attributed to improved cytoplasmic maturation based on the enhanced GSH level and transcription factor expression.
Effect of incubation temperature on in vitro maturation of porcine oocytes: nuclear maturation, fertilisation and developmental competence
TLDR
It is indicated that lower culture temperature can delay nuclear maturation of pig oocytes, however, extension of culture time can stimulatenuclear maturation and these oocytes are capable of fertilisation and development to the blastocyst stage at moderate rates.
L-carnitine treatment during oocyte maturation improves in vitro development of cloned pig embryos by influencing intracellular glutathione synthesis and embryonic gene expression.
Developmental competence of in vivo and in vitro matured porcine oocytes after subzonal sperm injection
TLDR
Ooplasmic incompetence in porcine in vitro matured oocytes is the major cause of their limited developmental competence, and Cytoplasmic maturation measured by male pronucleus formation does not directly reflect developmental competence of the oocytes.
Post‐activation treatment with demecolcine improves development of somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos in pigs by modifying the remodeling of donor nuclei
TLDR
It is demonstrated that post‐activation treatment with Dc improves preimplantation development and supports normal in vivo development of SCNT pig embryos, probably because Dc induces formation of a single PN and this leads to normal nuclear ploidy.
Changes in requirements and utilization of nutrients during mammalian preimplantation embryo development and their significance in embryo culture.
Changes in mitochondrial function in porcine vitrified MII-stage oocytes and their impacts on apoptosis and developmental ability.
Glutathione synthesis during in vitro maturation of bovine oocytes: role of cumulus cells.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that IVM medium supplemented with cysteine or cysteamine increased GSH content in oocytes without cumulus mass (DO) and in the absence of a cumulus cell monolayer, which may be useful to increase the efficacy of IVM of those oocytes having fewcumulus cell layers, in a system without coculture.
Effects of purple sweet potato anthocyanins on development and intracellular redox status of bovine preimplantation embryos exposed to heat shock.
TLDR
It is shown that alterations of the redox state using natural antioxidative polyphenols is a useful approach for reducing heat shock-derived oxidative stress in heat-exposed bovine preimplantation embryos by reducing intracellular oxidative stress and increasing the GSH levels.
The early phase of apoptosis in human neuroblastoma CHP100 cells is characterized by lipoxygenase-dependent ultraweak light emission.
TLDR
Results suggest that cellular luminescence is an early marker of apoptotic, but not necrotic, program(s) involving generation of hydrogen peroxide and activation of 5-lipoxygenase.
