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 ...
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 ...

Blood flow restricted resistance exercise and reductions in oxygen tension attenuate mitochondrial H2 O2 emission rates in human skeletal muscle Vrije Universiteit Brussel
KEY POINTS: Blood flow restricted resistance exercise (BFR-RE) is capable of inducing comparable adaptations to traditional resistance exercise (RE), despite a lower total exercise volume. It has been suggested that an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production may be involved in this response; however, oxygen partial pressure ( P O 2 ) is reduced during BFR-RE, and the influence of P O 2 on mitochondrial ...
