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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
