Cattle, pig and sheep oocytes isolated from healthy cumulus-oocyte complexes were pooled, within species, to provide samples of immature denuded with intact zona pellucida (n = 1000 per sample) for determination fatty acid mass composition in total lipid, constituent phospholipid triglyceride. Acyl-containing lipid extracts, transmethylated the presence a reference penta-decaenoic (15:0), yielded methyl esters which analysed by gas chromatograph. Mean (+/- SEM) content (161 +/- 18 micrograms...
To review utilisation of elective embryo cryopreservation in the expectant management patients at risk for developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and report on reproductive outcome following transfer thawed embryos. Medical records were reviewed undergoing IVF from 2000–2008 to identify cases OHSS where was electively performed all embryos 2 pn stage. Patient age, total number oocytes retrieved, cryopreserved, interval between retrieval thaw/transfer, (and developmental stage)...
Abstract Background Sperm DNA damage is associated with reduced male fertility after natural conception and intrauterine insemination. However, the impact on in vitro fertilization (IVF) especially intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatments still unclear. Few studies have focused intra‐individual variation DFI even though it may an important role to play terms of detection thresholds for misclassification rates. Methods Results Chromatin Structure Assay (SCSA ® ) tests performed 70...
This investigation describes features of patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) where both gametes were obtained from anonymous donors.Gamete unsuitability or loss was confirmed members seven otherwise healthy couples presenting for reproductive endocrinology consultation over a 12-month interval Ireland. IVF undertaken with fresh oocytes provided by donors Ukraine; frozen sperm (anonymous donor) licensed tissue establishment. For recipients,...
Individual culture of porcine embryos facilitates precise evaluation developmental progress during crucial stages preimplantation growth in vitro . This approach was applied to embryos, collected at different development, from young pre-pubertal gilts induced ovulate following gonadotrophin treatment. The present study also examined embryo development 2 media produced for egg culture, NCSU-23 (Petters and Wells, 1993) modified Whitten's Medium (mWM; Beckmann Day, 1993).
