Blastocysts derived from in vitro-fertilized cat oocytes after vitrification and dilution with sucrose

Experiments were conducted to find an optimal incubation period in a sucrose solution during dilution of cryoprotectants for obtaining a higher level of survival and development of cat oocytes cryopreserved by vitrification method. In the first experiment, in vitro-matured fresh oocytes were exposed...

Zusammenfassung:Experiments were conducted to find an optimal incubation period in a sucrose solution during dilution of cryoprotectants for obtaining a higher level of survival and development of cat oocytes cryopreserved by vitrification method. In the first experiment, in vitro-matured fresh oocytes were exposed to 0.5 M sucrose solution for 1 or 5 min before in vitro fertilization (IVF). The percentage of development to the blastocyst stage significantly decreased in oocytes exposed for 5 min, compared with oocytes exposed for 1 min and control oocytes without exposure to sucrose ( P
