Abstract
This brief review delves into the topic of in vitro follicle culture for in vitro embryo production, with a particular emphasis on goat models. Specifically, we examine the main findings from LAMOFOPA-Brazil over the last 20 years, highlighting the challenges posed by oxidative stress and epigenetic changes. Our focus is on strategies to improve follicular development and oocyte maturation. Furthermore, we underscore the valuable role of the antioxidant anethole in optimizing the efficacy of in vitro follicle culture and improving outcomes in in vitro embryo production.
期刊介绍:
Animal Reproduction (AR) publishes original scientific papers and invited literature reviews, in the form of Basic Research, Biotechnology, Applied Research and Review Articles, with the goal of contributing to a better understanding of phenomena related to animal reproduction.
The scope of the journal applies to students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of veterinary, biology and animal science, also being of interest to practitioners of human medicine. Animal Reproduction Journal is the official organ of the Brazilian College of Animal Reproduction in Brazil.
