Abstract:

This study was designed to investigate the effect of different types and different concentrations of sugar on in vitro maturation(IVM) and developmental competence of yak oocytes, for being further research and optimization culture system of yak oocytes for efficient maturity yak oocytes and productivity of embryos. Immature yak oocytes were matured in vitro on culture medium with different concentrations (0,5 and 10 mmol/L) of glucose and sucrose in incubator for 24 h or 2 h pretreament with sugar and 22 h without sugar. Subsequently, then the maturation of oocytes,the cleavage rates and blastocyst formation rates after in vitro fertilization(IVF) were evaluated. The results showed that a medium with 5 and 10 mmol/L glucose IVM could significantly increase the yak oocytes maturation and cleavage (P<0.05), and the highest blastocyst formation rates in 10 mmol/L glucose group was significantly higher than 0 mmol/L glucose (P<0.05).10 mmol/L sucrose could increase significantly the nucleus maturation rates (P<0.05),and there was no significant difference of the blastocyst formation rates after IVF between 0 and 10 mmol/L sucrose (P>0.05). Furthermore, the nucleus maturation rates,IVF cleavage rates and blastocyst formation rates of yak oocytes which pretreated with 10 mmol/L glucose were the highest in these groups, and were higher than 0 mmol/L glucose (P<0.05). It manifested that the appropriate concentration of sugar could improve the quality of yak oocytes and embryos in vitro developmental competence, so it influenced in vitro development of yak oocytes indirectly.
