Exogenous γ-Glutamyl Cycle Compound Supplementation to In Vitro Maturation Medium and the Effects on Subsequent In Vitro Fertilization and Culture Parameters of Porcine Oocytes and Their Impact on Embryo Viability

High concentrations of intracellular glutathione enhance the in vitro production of porcine embryos. Six experiments were conducted to study the effects of varying concentrations of different supplements to the in vitro maturation (IVM) medium on in vitro fertilization (IVF) and in vitro culture (I...
