Lrp13a and Lrp13b serve as vitellogenin receptors in the ovary of zebrafish †
Biol Reprod. 2024 Apr 24:ioae040. doi: 10.1093/biolre/ioae040. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn oviparous animals, egg yolk is largely derived from vitellogenin, which is taken up from the maternal circulation by the growing oocytes via the vitellogenin receptor. Recently, a novel member of the lipoprotein receptor superfamily termed low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 13 was identified and proposed as a candidate of vitellogenin receptor in oviparous animals. However, the roles of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 13 in vitellogenesis are still poorly defined. Here, we investigated the expressi...

Factors defining developmental competence of bovine oocytes collected for in vitro embryo production
Biol Reprod. 2024 Apr 25:ioae065. doi: 10.1093/biolre/ioae065. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite the currently relatively low effectiveness of producing bovine embryos in vitro, there is a growing interest in applying this laboratory method in the field of reproduction. Many aspects of the procedure need to be improved. One of the main problems is the inferior developmental competence of in vitro matured oocytes that are collected using the ovum pick-up (OPU) method. The mechanisms of oocyte capacitation and maturation, as well as the in vivo conditions in which they grow and mature, should be carefully analyzed. A del...

Changes in metabolic acidosis following birth in intensive care unit neonates
CONCLUSIONS: Changes in pH and base excess occurred over a wide range between delivery and the first newborn blood gas in the first 6 h of life, and we identified several factors associated with direction of change. Metabolic acidosis at birth cannot reliably be inferred from neonatal arterial values. Neonatal acidosis, including acidosis following a normal pH and base excess at birth, was associated with morbidity and mortality.PMID:38657521 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.04.025 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Comparing the efficacy and pregnancy outcome of intrauterine balloon and intrauterine contraceptive device in the prevention of adhesion reformation after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in infertile women: a prospective, randomized, controlled trial study
CONCLUSION: Inserting a balloon or placing an IUD for one or two months can effectively lower the risk of adhesion recurrence and restore the shape of the uterine cavity. While the therapeutic effect of the balloon was superior to that of the IUD, no significant differences were observed in the one-month and two-month IUD groups.TRIAL REGISTRATION: This research was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ( http://www.chictr.org.cn/enIndex.aspx ); Clinical trial registry identification number: ChiCTR-IOR-17,011,943 ( http://www.chictr.org.cn/showprojen.aspx?proj=17979 ).

Viewing early life without labels: optical approaches for imaging the early embryo
Biol Reprod. 2024 Apr 22:ioae062. doi: 10.1093/biolre/ioae062. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEmbryo quality is an important determinant of successful implantation and a resultant live birth. Current clinical approaches for evaluating embryo quality rely on subjective morphology assessments or an invasive biopsy for genetic testing. However, both approaches can be inherently inaccurate and crucially, fail to improve the live birth rate following the transfer of in vitro produced embryos. Optical imaging offers a potential non-invasive and accurate avenue for assessing embryo viability. Recent advances in various label-free ...

Pregnancy and acromegaly: clinical outcomes of retrospectively analysed data from the German acromegaly registry
CONCLUSION: Pregnancies in women with acromegaly are possible and the course of pregnancy is in general safe for mother and child both with and without specific treatment for acromegaly. The prevalence of concomitant metabolic diseases such as gestational diabetes is comparable to the prevalence in healthy pregnant women. Nevertheless, larger studies with more data in pregnant patients with acromegaly are needed to provide safe and effective care for pregnant women with this condition.PMID:38650041 | PMC:PMC11034139 | DOI:10.1186/s12958-024-01207-9 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Effects of MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126 on FGF10-enhanced buffalo oocyte maturation in vitro
Reprod Biol. 2024 Apr 20;24(2):100883. doi: 10.1016/j.repbio.2024.100883. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) plays critical roles in oocyte maturation and embryonic development; however, the specific pathway by which FGF10 promotes in vitro maturation of buffalo oocytes remains elusive. The present study was aimed at investigating the mechanism underlying effects of the FGF10-mediated extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) pathway on oocyte maturation and embryonic development in vitro. MEK1/2 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase) inhibitor U0126, alone or in combination with FGF10...
