Although estrogen is recognized as essential for embryonic development and maintenance of pregnancy, it remains unclear whether it has a direct role in the embryos themselves. The aim of this study was to investigate whether estrogen can have any effect in pig embryos during preimplantation developm

The study of gene expression in human preimplantation embryos is establishing itself as a necessary dimension of developmental biology and medical genetics. Transcripts identified in human preimplantation embryos include housekeeping genes, transcription and growth factor genes, sex-determining gene
Implantation in pigs is noninvasive and characterized by interdigitation of embryonic and endometrial epithelial cell processes. However, when pig embryos are transferred to ectopic sites, trophoblast becomes invasive. The objective of this study was to evaluate expression of proteinases and protein
Even though previous studies have shown that transcripts encoding the murine retinoid X receptor β₯ (RXRβ₯) are present in skeletal muscle of mouse embryos and that cultured myoblasts are induced to differentiate upon retinoid treatment, a function for RXRβ₯ and retinoids in mammalian myogenesis has no
The potentially unbalanced expression at preimplantation developmental stages of Xlinked genes might be responsible of the faster development of male than female embryos in vitro. Two genes located on the X chromosome, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transfer
