Influence of ultra-low oxygen (2%) tension on in-vitro human embryo development Vrije Universiteit Brussel
STUDY QUESTION: Is a reduction in the oxygen tension from 5 to 2% during extended culture from Day 3 onwards beneficial for human blastocyst development in vitro?
SUMMARY ANSWER: A reduction in oxygen concentration from 5 to 2% O2 after Day 3 did not improve embryo development, quality and utilization rate.
WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: The human embryo leaves the fallopian tube to reach the uterine cavity around Day 3-4 ...
Relationships between plasma lipids, proteins, surface tension and post-dive bubbles Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Decompression sickness (DCS) in divers is caused by bubbles of inert gas. When DCS occurs, most bubbles can be found in the venous circulation: venous gas emboli (VGE). Bubbles are thought to be stabilized by low molecular weight surfactant reducing the plasma-air surface tension (γ). Proteins may play a role as well. We studied the interrelations between these substances, γ and VGE, measured before and after a dry dive simulation. VGE of 63 ...
Effects of lactate, super-GDF9 and low oxygen tension during biphasic in vitro maturation on the bioenergetic profiles of mouse cumulus-oocyte-complex Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In vitro maturation (IVM) is an alternative assisted reproductive technology (ART) with reduced hormone related side-effects and treatment burden compared to conventional IVF. Capacitation (CAPA)-IVM is a biphasic IVM system with improved clinical outcomes compared to standard monophasic IVM. Yet, CAPA-IVM efficiency compared to conventional IVF is still suboptimal in terms of producing utilizable blastocysts. Previously we have shown that ...
