Lipid characterization of in vitro-produced bovine embryos with distinct kinetics of development.

In conclusion, the kinetics of development had a greater effect on the membrane lipid profiles throughout the embryo culture, especially at the 8-16-cell stage. The in vitro environment affects lipid composition and may compromise cell signalling and function in blastocysts.
