摘 要:Objective:To assess the effect of L-carnitine supplementation during in vitro oocyte maturation and in vitro culture process of bovine ***:L-carnitine(3.8 mM)was added to maturation medium and the effect was assessed in the quality(Experiment 1)and in the cleavage and 4-cells stage(Experiment 2).Besides,the effect of L-carnitine addition on maturation medium(3.8 mM)and culture medium(1.5 mM)on embryo rate production was *** Experiment 1,bovine oocytes from abattoir were randomly separated into two groups(the control group and L-carnitine group)forin vitro *** oocytes were examined for cumulus cells expansion as an indicator of maturation,and the content of the mitochondrial activity,the presence of lipid droplets,the reduced glutathione,and the reactive oxygen species were measured by using specific *** Experiment 2,oocytes were matured as performed in Experiment 1,afterward fertilized and cultured until day 3,and cleavage rate and 4-cells stage rate were *** Experiment 3,in vitro maturation and fertilization were done as performed in Experiment 2,but at day 3 of culture,each group of embryos was separated into two new groups,and L-carnitine(1.5 mM)was added in culture media until day *** cleavage and embryo development rate were determined on the basis with the oocytes put on *** rate was calculated from cleaved ***:The cumulus expansion rate at gradeⅢand mitochondrial activity were significantly higher in the L-carnitine group in comparison with the control group(P0.05).In addition,cleavage and the proportion of embryo development and hatching rate were similar for all groups(P0.05).Conclusions:L-carnitine as a supplement in culture media improves the cumulus expansion and increases the mitochondrial activity during in vitro maturation process but has no apparent effect on the cleavage and development of bovine *** investigations of L-carnitine addition on in vit
