| Research Abstract |
The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of protein components, growth factors and progesterone (P4) on development competence and expression of apoptosis-related genes of bovine IVF embryos. Our results suggest differences in levels of transcripts of apoptosis related genes in bovine embryos cultured with or without GF. Protein components, growth factors and P4 in culture medium improve the development competence and change the gene transcript of bovine IVF embryos.
