This study was carried out to assess the influence of bovine embryo culture medium Beltsville Agriculture Research Center (BARC), supplemented with FCS, BSA or PVA, on the in vitro oocyte maturation, evidenced by cleavage rate and blastocysts production at different developmental stages. Three experiments were performed, as follows: exp.1: addition of FCS to BARC medium at concentrations of 0, 5 and 10%; exp. 2: addition of BSA to BARC medium at concentrations of 0, 4 and 8 mg/ml; exp. 3: addition of PVA to BARC medium at concentrations of 0, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/ml. TCM 199 supplemented with bicarbonate, pyruvate, gentamicin sulfate, FSH, LH and FCS was used as control group. Oocytes obtained from cow ovaries at slaughterhouse were selected in PBS, and then matured in BARC medium supplemented with FSH, LH and gentamicin sulfate, according to the experimental design. Percoll gradient was used for sperm selection and TALP medium for IVF. In vitro embryo culture was in SOF-m medium; a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2, in air, at 38.7oC was used for all steps. The number of oocytes reaching blastocyst, expanded blastocyst, and hatched blastocyt stages was recorded, respectively at 72 and 168 h post-insemination. ANOVA and Bonferroni t test were used to determine differences among groups. Differences of P<0.05 were taken as significant. Higher percentage (P<0.05) of cleaved oocytes was observed in group TCM + FCS than for the other groups matured in BARC supplemented with FCS or BSA, regardless the concentration used. However, the cleavage rate was similar between groups BARC plus PVA with 1 mg/ml (85.7%) and TCM + FCS (90.8%). Significant difference was found among groups for the production of blastocysts, with the control group yielding a higher number of blastocysts (results ranging from 47.4 to 51.4%, in comparison with groups using BARC + FCS (4.1 to 19.7%), BSA (1.4 to 5.6%) and PVA (5.7 to 10.6%). In conclusion, BARC medium supplemented with different macromolecules did not promote a beneficial effect on in vitro oocyte maturation, resulting in lower rate of cleavage and blastocyst production when compared with TCM + FCS medium.

O bacurizeiro (Platonia insignis Mart.) é uma frutífera nativa da Amazônia, que apresenta alogamia acentuada e autoincompatibilidade esporofítica. A viabilidade in vitro tem sido utilizada para representar a capacidade potencial do pólen em completar o processo de fertilização O objetivo do presente trabalho foi estudar a viabilidade de polens de bacurizeiro por meio da germinação in vitro , por ser esta uma técnica em que o comportamento germinativo é semelhante in vivo . Os ensaios foram conduzidos em laboratório, em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, analisados em esquema fatorial 2 x 3 x 4, em que: 2=formas de propagação (pé-franco e enxertada); 3=estágios da antese (pré-antese, antese e pós-antese), e 4=concentrações de sacarose (0; 7,5; 10 e 20%), com 10 repetições. Houve diferença significativa na germinação do pólen, sendo que, via polinização manual, o pólen deve ser coletado na antese, enquanto o melhor meio para a germinação in vitro é com 7,5 g de sacarose.

Principais mecanismos envolvidos na maturação oocitária em bovinos: da oogenese a maturação in vitro
Resumo:
Despite the efforts made to improve the production of bovine embryos in vitro, their efficiency is still low, since only 30-40% of developed blastocysts are obtained from oocytes after in vitro maturation (IVM), fertilization and cultured embryos. Assisted reproductive technologies have a limiting impact due a lack of oocytes capable to fertilization.The comprehension of mechanism involved in oocyte maturation are crucial to establish a culture system that allows a larger number production of good quality embryos. The study of the early stages of oocyte and follicle development in vivo is important for a better understanding of the molecular pathways that regulate oogenesis, folliculogenesis and oocyte maturation. Thus the physiological biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in maturation may contribute to the increased efficiency of in vitro embryo production. Therefore, the aim of this literature review is to understand the basic mechanisms that underlie oocyte maturation in cattle, since oocyte and follicle cells in vivo formation to its use in the in vitro environment.

Snakebite is a neglected disease and serious health problem in Brazil, with most bites being caused by snakes of the genus Bothrops. Although serum therapy is the primary treatment for systemic envenomation, it is generally ineffective in neutralizing the local effects of these venoms. In this work, we examined the ability of 7,8,3'-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavone (TM), an isoflavone from Dipteryx alata, to neutralize the neurotoxicity (in mouse phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparations) and myotoxicity (assessed by light microscopy) of Bothrops jararacussu snake venom in vitro. The toxicity of TM was assessed using the Salmonella microsome assay (Ames test). Incubation with TM alone (200 μg/mL) did not alter the muscle twitch tension whereas incubation with venom (40 μg/mL) caused irreversible paralysis. Preincubation of TM (200 μg/mL) with venom attenuated the venom-induced neuromuscular blockade by 84% ± 5% (mean ± SEM; n = 4). The neuromuscular blockade caused by bothropstoxin-I (BthTX-I), the major myotoxic PLA2 of this venom, was also attenuated by TM. Histological analysis of diaphragm muscle incubated with TM showed that most fibers were preserved (only 9.2% ± 1.7% were damaged; n = 4) compared to venom alone (50.3% ± 5.4% of fibers damaged; n = 3), and preincubation of TM with venom significantly attenuated the venom-induced damage (only 17% ± 3.4% of fibers damaged; n = 3; p < 0.05 compared to venom alone). TM showed no mutagenicity in the Ames test using Salmonella strains TA98 and TA97a with (+S9) and without (-S9) metabolic activation. These findings indicate that TM is a potentially useful compound for antagonizing the neuromuscular effects (neurotoxicity and myotoxicity) of B. jararacussu venom.
