Meiotic competence and DNA damage of porcine oocytes exposed to an elevated temperature

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of the length of exposure to an elevated temperature (41 °C) on the meiotic competence and DNA damage of porcine oocytes. Oocytes were recovered from ovaries, loaded into straws, and then exposed at 41.0 or 38.5 °C (sham control) for 0, 0.5,...
