One carbon metabolism supplementation in maturation medium but not embryo culture medium improves the yield of blastocysts from bovine oocytes by Arefeh Golestanfar, Amir Niasari Naslaji, Farnoosh Jafarpour, Nima Sadeghi Borujen, Shiva Rouhollahi Varnosfaderani, Yves Menezo, Maurizio Dattilo, Mohammad Hossein Nasr-Esfahani

“…After single embryo transfer, the supplemented blastocysts were at least as competent as non-supplemented ones with a non-significantly higher (20% vs. 14%) pregnancy rate and the advantage of several good quality blastocysts available for future use. In conclusion, optimizing the maturation medium with OCM substrates and its cofactors could enhance the formation of viable blastocysts with the potential to increase the cumulative birth rate in cattle.…”
