본 연구는 소의 미성숙 난포란의 체외성숙시 의 첨가가 체외성숙, 체외수정 후 웅성전핵의 형성 및 세포질 내의 GSH 수준에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 체외성숙시 과 의 를 첨가한 경우 대조구에 비하여 성숙율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 모든 실험구에 있어서 12시간 체외성숙보다 24시간 체외성숙에서 높은 성숙율을 나타냈다(p<0.05). 체외수정 후 웅성전핵 형성에 있어서는 와 농도의 첨가구에서 대조구에 비하여 높게 나타났으나

The aims of this study are 1) to test oocytes and embryos collected from in-vivo and in-vitro to achieving the valuable protocol by culturing, vitrifying and thawing of oocytes/embryos, and 2) to transfer them to recipient, and finally have resulted in pregnancies from recipient females after surgical or nonsurgical transfer. In vitro maturation and fertilization were performed according to the procedures of Funahashi et al. Fertilized oocytes were cultured in glucose-free NCSU 23 supplemented with 5 mM sodium pyruvate, 0.5 mM sodium lactate and 4 mg/ml bovine serum albumin for 2 days at 39, and 10% fetal bovine serum was added to the culture medium thereafter. Embryos were treated with 7.5g/ml cytochalasin-B for 30 min, centrifuged at 13,000 g for 13 min and then exposed sequentially to an ethylene glycol (EG) vitrification solution, aspirated into OPSs, and plunged/thawed into/from liquid nitrogen. In vivo embryos were surgically collected from three donors after Al. Forty-six embryos (18, 9 and 19 embryos, respectively) were washed 3 times in mPBS+10%FBS, followed treatments : cultured, centrifuged, vitrified, recovered and transferred to recipients as in vitro prepared embryos. Three recipients received surgically 34(control), 188 and 184 embryos (derived from abattoir), respectively. Another three recipients were received nonsurgically 150, 100 and 150 embryos, respectively. All recipient sows exhibited delayed returns to estrus. To our knowledge, these results suggest that required an improved techniques, more vigorous embryos preparation and cleaner uterous condition(use gilt).
